I've been teaching a guy here at work for a year now. Going through the Starter Kits. We're into SK 3. Let's call him Ethan, because that is his name. We play at lunch. Some weeks 2-3 times a week. Sometimes we go a few weeks without playing due to scheduling conflicts. Another coworker has shown interest in learning and I ran him through a quick tutorial about a month ago. FYI, we are 95% remote. I'm the only one in the office every day. Ethan is 3-4 times a week, mostly. This new guy Chris came in on Tuesday to say he is ready to play and will be in on Thursday to start. GREAT. I said. "Ethan, you play Chris and teach him." I set them up today and they started Retaking Vierville.

In preparation for one of the "three" new games I may have going (just received one log file today) on, I created a quick and dirty scenario and ran through about four turns and saw just about everything I might have expected in a game with a real person. Had two CR, and a HOB resulting in a berserk Russian HS, which got eliminated by a German HS, and two of the German leaders (in different hexes) failed their MC but there MMC (squads/HS) passed with flying colors (2 out 3 were pinned).

So it seems I recall how to play basic ASL against myself anyway, after these three matches I'll step it up to ordinance and then of course to OBA and AFVs. Shucks I maybe playing full ASL (A-D) in a few short weeks, goal is to be up to speed by end of summer or sooner (i.e., A-G).

28862

Assuming the averages are telling me that I mostly rolled 6s and 7s I think.

Quite a bit of fun after 10 years away...

Next up that log file ...

That's what I call another "classic".

Not in this scenario but in another one of the "early ones" there is the all-time vexing question of the specifics of hex 3I1:
  • How much does a vehicle pay to enter it along the road, how much does Infantry?
  • Will it be on the road, in the Building or in the Woods?
  • What if it turns in the hex?
  • Can the building be bypassed? (IIRC, the artwork differs on old mounted boards and newer SK-style/VASL boards.)
  • Bog Check required for exiting the hex via a non-road hexside?
Most of this, I will have to look up again each and every time, when this particular hex 3I4 is in play...

I cut out overlay RW1 (Runway) from SK Expansion Pack 2, I believe (even though I will probably never use it).
I have a ToTR scenario design (in playtest for MMP) and a Starter Kit scenario design (in playtest for New England Volunteers) that use RW1.

Nice overlay, you might get to use it!

Far better than the bitd overlay that was used to cover the runway on board (?).
