Today in ASL I ... (Day to day ASL doings)

Yes and damaged my Wrist so out of commission at the moment!

Nail clippers would never damage your wrist. Just sayin' -- jim

This heathen won't get involved in any interdenominational clipping debates. I will say however that not clipping may prevent carpal tunnel syndrome or any other such wrist damage.

It leaves behind unsightly counters which is inexcusable. -- jim

Lol what do you expect from heathens? The counters may be unsightly but at least a heathen is still able to roll them bones!

No, they'd only damage your counters...

Been there and had the ops on both wrists but I needed the ops done due to damage caused from my profession from so many years in Aviation , as for the nickname I find it offensive , not being from that side of the pond .

Wasn’t the clippers either Jim but they contributed a bit in the end. Had Carpul tunnel problems for over 12 years due to my profession

No offense meant. I didn't think the nickname was accurate but it did sound rather catchy.

Once again sorry to hear about your injured wrist and hope you are back in top shape soon.

I've had nicknames foisted upon me my whole life starting with "Brillo pad " in the first grade. I had hair back then and it was rather curly.

Btw Fish accidentally bestowed " jick " on me when he went to call me a jackass dick. It came out as jick. That one has really stuck.

I've been playing ASL since 1993 but today for the first time:

I killed a Sherman and immobilised another from the same 81mm mortar in the same fire phase
I fired on a US 666 with a tank in AFPh - HOB and creates a hero. I fire at the same squad with another tank after my opponent says "Do you want to give me another hero?" - HOB and another hero created.

What a great game...

Yesterday during a session, I had my sniper hit a stack behind the enemy front line; three squads and a leader. It broke one squad. My opponent says "I want to do a Sniper Check". I haven't seen that done in more years than I can remember. With two squads still in the hex, he needs to roll six or less to reduce my sniper. He did it.

 

[Philippe D.]

Sniper checks aren't that rare in my experience - I rarely do them when the stack has other action opportunities, but when a Sniper hits a back stack on the opponent's turn, I'll typically try the check. Most of the time it doesn't work, but since the cost is low...

Expanded the January Minefield a few hexes to the east. Made the Whisky Track a little easier to see.

I have about ten module boxes full of geo maps. Today I emptied out all the maps and filed them according to their number and then put them back in the boxes. Now if I need a map I can find it much easier since it is stored in numerical order.

 

[Michael R]

I replaced the maps in my map portfolio with the new ones I received in the Supplemental Map Bundle.

Now that's the attitude about map-storage: He keeps his boards cradled unfolded on a soft bed while he himself sleeps on the cold and hard floor....

Kudos, man!

Realized the timeless wisdom of Maury Sline:
With a gig like what's upcoming in the Illuminating Rounds Tournament Finale, ya gotta prepare the proper exploitation.

Delivered the for-print map to Xavier. And it's not Inor

Captain Bacchus and I got together after work and supper and looked over the threads on Gamesquad. Out of interest but also looking for material for The ASL Word of the Day. The Word had to have relevance to ASL or a post.

Reading the FTF thread I realized we did very little preplanning for the scenarios we played. Spontaneous sprang to mind. One of the synonyms for it was extempore and there you have it, The Word.

All in all a very enjoyable evening of ASL that the Captain and I agree was very productive. It may have been ASL Super Light but in it's own way quite nice. That was my ASL day. Very similar to most other days and very satisfying.
