A best scenario thread; but this time you can only choose a HASL scenario. No CGs just the scenarios. Which is your favourite historical ASL scenario.

I have to go with RB 1 One Down Two to Go

Especially since it's the only one listed in my Top Ten all time favorites at my blog.

:D;):highfive:

I've got several that I really like.

American Tragedy.
"119" from Uncommon Valor
The big scenario from Baraque De Fraiture
One Down Two To Go
Beast At Bay looks fun.
The huge Omaha Beach scenario looks fun.
The big Berlin scenarios from both CH & HOB look fun.
The big scenarios from OtO look fun too!

I'm not sure I can choose a complete favourite.

I’ve played “gotterdamnerung” from CH Berlin module, that was fun, a fair few chrome rules though, including bed spring mattresses on Russian tanks to hamper panzerfausts/schreks

If I play on a HASL map, it's usually to play the campaign. By the time I finish that, I want a change - so it's usually then to a geoboard scenario. Or I'm prepping for a tourney - which only very rarely use historical mapsites.

So not played many historical scenarios at all. 'Got Milk' from Op Veritable is probably my fave. Both sides get to attack, some nice kit and a creeping barrage IIRC. (What kind of man doesn't like a creeping barrage? Closet euro gamers that's who).

First Bid from VOTG is a grueling epic. Probably a bit too dependent on the Stuka to be a classic as well as far too big.

Remember really liking agony, ate ball and angel from uncommon valor. The opposite of vanilla.

Well it was the very first HASL I have ever played so it still has a very soft spot in my heart.

RB 5 The Last Bid

You didn't specify whether or not these scenarios needed to be on a HASL map however this is a big part of the appeal for me...
I have not had much opportunity to play CG because of the time commitments but I definitely enjoy the HASL scenarios giving a bit more flavor to the ASL experience so I have played quite a few scenarios on HASL maps and it was tough to narrow them down. Here are my top 6 choices:

HS26 Got Milk? from Operation Veritable
HS22 Goch Ya from Operation Veritable

FB12 Black Ravens are Flying from Festung Budapest

HB 2 Battle at Arm's Length from Hell's Bridgehead
HB 7 High Tide from Critical Hit #6.4 (Hell's Bridgehead expansion)

TTF4 Tigers on the Balcony from Tigers to the Front

I really enjoyed all of these scenarios.

I really liked Red Army Day but feel if the Germans do not get their air support or their on call arty craps out, it can mean certain doom for KGS. Still this is one I really would like to try again at some point in the future. but there is so much good stuff to play that doing repeat plays are rare.

BRT has some great scenarios and Legend is one of them. Not a great CG but great scenarios for sure.
