St Louis JULY 2024

[Jim Burris]

Thank you all for the well wishes and for a speedy recovery. I'm doing well and resting a lot.

Good to hear!
I've never met you but I wish you the best.

Likely an artwork oversight...the counters themselves are underlined range, so if you're not seeing an SSR to the contrary, I'd say that they've got it.

Basically, all German squads (both SS and non-SS flavor) have spraying fire, to account for their inherent MG34/42 in the squad.

I agree. Unfortunately, not all players are so practical. haha

Thank you George!
Thank you Maurizio!

Don't overdue it Jim. We will be fine. Speedy recovery

 

[Houlie]

Rest up and get well soon, Jim. Am praying for a smooth, speedy recovery.

Just FYI . . .

I'll have a couple copies of each Hazmo Pack with me in case anyone is interested in purchasing a pack and saving themselves the cost of shipping.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again,

Chuck

Dear Jim, thank you for another great tournament. I am leaving with the sentiment that I need to come back next year. Wonderful organization, nice players, good ASL level (at least for me) and lot of fun. I will not forget the last game with Bob easily, but this is ASL. What I find amazing is that despite the experience, we all have to "learn". In one scenario we forgot to use the OBA (!!!!), in another the set-up SSR was misunderstood and a couple of counters misplaced, and in the Final (not really two beginners), the two HIP units with Bazooka were left in the open! Despite that, it was good to see that being a player, doesn't prevent us to be gentlemen! Looking forward for next year!!!!! Ciao

Lack of sleep leads to foggy ASL play for sure. Mike and I's round 5 game also saw a set up screw up by both of us.

So tell us about the final. When I left Bob looked in trouble, how did he pull it out?

I didn't know a rule about smoke in first level and LOS going underneath (his Gun on elevated road with a smoke screen in front fire below... no smoke hindrance, "bye bye Stug FT"), so I lost the first tank to a BAZ snake in his own hex and two tanks to a 5 streak ROF AT. I have to say he got back in luck (with some interests and change) what he didn't have in the beginning of the game. Great game. I have learnt a lot

Then you both won.

Very nice weather here in St Louis.

Yeah, I wasn’t sure about the rule either, just thought the smoke goes up and remembered something about this to look the rule up.

Driving home I realized maybe an overrun would be the way to go. The 30 FP attack would hit the baz/halfsquad before a side shoot presented itself.

Hope you picked up your ‘Rat Pack’.

I did not. Zut! Did someone picked my Rat Chart up?

Yes, I found it on the table. I sent you a text message. Jim Burris is aware.

Thanks to Jim Burris for another great ASL Tournament! I had a good year going 4 and 1. Representing the Kansas City ASL Club well on the leader board. Great seeing everyone!
