Thanks everyone for all the encouragement. I'm loving the game, so even if I prove to be an ASL idiot, I'm not going anywhere.
To get us back on track (sorry for the digression that I caused), it was a good ASL acquisition weekend for me. From the Facebook "Wargamer's Marketplace" forum, I finally was able to locate a (punched) copy of "Hollow Legions" at a price that I could live with. I'm very happy to have the Italian OoB. I also got a copy of Heat of Battle's "Tropic Thunder" from eBay. Given all the good things said about this scenario pack on the Desperation Morale site, I am looking forward to giving some of these scenarios a try.
It's getting so that I have a fairly complete kit. However, as all the people with whom I play are long-time ASL addicts, I could probably play for the rest of life with only the rulebook, a dice tower and a trusty-dusty retractable badge holder/LoS checker.
P.S. Forgot to mention that I ordered the Action Pack 13 from MMP and tossed in two more maps, as well (might as well make it worthwhile to pay postage).
