With a game that has the sheer amount of 'chrome' and 'minutae' as ASL, there are many things in the game that are rather esoteric, but not so uncommon that one would expect them to happen either by plan or sheer happenstance. (some things will require both)

Yet, after 1500 or so games, there are many cool ASL things I haven't done yet that I would like to do before I stop playing this great game. I keep on ongoing list of these in my head at least.

I've towed an opponent's AT gun off for EVP. I've been the victim of a mistaken napalm air attack. Yet I've never killed an enemy AFV with a gyrostabilized bounding fire shot. I've never even hampered a flame. So these are on my 'ASL bucket list' along with:

Play a real CG.

  • A Japanese leader pinned in a collapsed hut.
  • Clear a rubble location.
  • Harm an enemy unit with a WP grenade.
..and many others once I think about it more.

So, let's see your 'ASL 'bucket list' :laugh: Anything uber-cool on it?

Yesterday, for the first time in my ASL life i rubbled a firts level building with a DC, killing three squads and a SMC, causing falling rubble which falls on a nother building, rubbling it killing another enemy squad...wow, what a bang...

Personally i would like to kill an enemy plane in a dogfight...i know, it has not much to do with the game on the map...but it´s unique...

and

I never had shot on a AFV wreck trying to turn it into a burning one...

Ben "the guy who owns me and is a bum" Richardson and I were playing TOUGH AS NAILS yesterday from the ITR packet. He breached a wall with a DC and then attacked the guys on the other side with 12 and 6 shots respectively.

So, breaching a wall with a DC...

THEN we had this mongo big Hand to hand melee. His 20 to my 19. We BOTH died. I think the bloodiest HtoH I've ever seen (gotta love Stalingrad for that alone)

New one yesterday - moved a KV2 to 7 hexes from a stack of concealed German Infantry. Fired the MGs down the road at 1.5 FP (yes we used the IIFT) and rolled snakes. Result K1 - and yahtze on the two squads and 1/2 squads. So the K resulted in wiping out two squads (the two 1/2 and the casualty reduction of the two squads). Whoopee!!!!

Still lost the game!

Has anybody ever animal-packed a piece of ordinance? I'm always torn as to where to sort the animal pack counters into and I don't recall any scenario that had an animal-packable gun along with animals....

Yes, in a CoB scenario, long ago. I was determined to use the new rule because I could. I took my horses/mules/alpacas too close before trying to unload and get whatever piece of ordinance into action, and got the pack animals and crews shot down for my trouble....

I want to play every vehicle in Chapter H at least once, in a printed scenario. Like;
-T1E3 the American Mine Roller- not the Crab
-The Soviet AA vehicle based on the T-70 (Can't think of the name)
-All the French gun tractors

on and on

So many things after re-reading chapt A-D, really want to carry a wounded leader soon.
Conner vs Schilling Among The Ruins

After a Sniper Attack in the Graveyard wounding Sgt. Conner :hurt:, his boys decide they ain't leaving him behind and pick him up. A 2nd Sniper Attacks kills Sgt. Conner :skull: while being carried and he's dumped in the Graveyard. How convenient! :smoke:
