I cannot tell you, it is a secret handshake.How do Finns shake hands?
Heh. It was a fun weekend. I was great chatting in the bar with you and others there.I don't know about shake hands, but I saw how they do shots! Boy, we put away a few shots of liquor at the bar that night...LOL!
They shake fins.How do Finns shake hands?
(groan)They shake fins.
Better shaking fins than sharking Swedes.They shake fins.
In recent posts the Purist and Stavka both mentioned how their Mothers supported their efforts with ASL. This is a whole category of significant others that I overlooked in my original post. So kudos to all the Moms and Dads, brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles and grandparents who supported a young person and his/her desire to play ASL.?The true unsung heroes are the significant others who tolerated their significant other spending so much time on SL/ASL.
Action Debbie made countless pots of coffee and hundreds of great meals to keep Fish and I going. I can't remember her complaining about it. Thanks dear!
Yeah, I remember that Nor'easter as a howling good time!I don't know about shake hands, but I saw how they do shots! Boy, we put away a few shots of liquor at the bar that night...LOL!
Vic Provost - DFTB. Carl Nogueira - articles and TDThere are a lot of unsung heroes of ASL. For an upcoming episode of IR I'm thinking of giving a shout out to the top contributors of ASL. The names that one day should have statues outside the halls of MMP.
Can I get some names, past or present, and I'll then maybe turn it into a poll or something to try to figure out a top 5 (maybe 10). I appreciate it's all subjective, and there's no rights or wrongs, but throw some names and accomplishments at me and let's see if between Martin and I we can come up with a list we can all get behind.
Thanks for checking out this thread I bumped up. It veered way off course but is some very entertaining reading.Vic Provost - DFTB. Carl Nogueira - articles and TD
This still rings true and was what I recalled when thinking about Doctor Marc.Could not agree with you more! Those guys back in the late 70s recognized a great game, helped it thrive and brought in the next generation of enthusiasts. All of us in those subsequent generations owe those guys a lot. Most of them are unknown or forgotten but because they embraced a game and kept buying into it ASL is here today.
Thanks for whomever supports me, Tom Morin, Carl Nogueira and Dispatches from the Bunker for making our own mark in the hobby for the last 26+ years. (Total time in the historical gaming hobby for me, since D-Day in 1966, is 57 years and counting). Look for Dispatch #55 later next month...Vic Provost - DFTB. Carl Nogueira - articles and TD
I believe Steven Swann has not been mentioned so far in this thread. Yet he must be one of the longest serving ASL contributor having started with his series of articles and ASL scenarios on specific military units back in the days of Avalon Hill, followed by subsequent contributions to a number of third-party publishers such as Heat of Battle, Le Franc-Tireur, and Dispatches from the Bunker.There are a lot of unsung heroes of ASL.
