What do y'all do about missing MG armaments

[von Marwitz]

But according to D1.84 you can only use other counters with optional armaments (usually only applicable to AAMG) - not just any counters with different MG.

Haha, there you have it. It's in the rulez...

Probably this is (inadvertedly) as close as it ever gets in ASL to computer in-game purchases to pimp your whatever.

Another great thing about our game in general: No options for monetary purchases that grant in-game advantages. F*** that sort of monetization!

However, don't more IVHs come in KGP (and if they don't a similar case must exist for another counter)? Are they part of the counter limitations for regular scenarios, or only for scenarios that use the KGP map?

Have fun keeping track of which Pz IVHs originate from which core module, HASL, Journal, SK etc.

But I see new potential for sophistication:

After Oregon-clipping counters, fining down the sides, and spraying them with protective finish, at long last this problem opens a window of justification to laser some minuscule cavity into the side of your counters and to insert RFID-chips that can help you to keep track of their origin.

Might also help to finally solve the irritating issue of not knowing what's beneath your opponent's concealment counters.

I would certainly use them if I needed to - as I do not apply in scenarios D1.84.

Nor I, but I regularly disregard rules I don't particularly like enforcing.

@bprobst : I was joking -- I was more planning for the day when a good Chinese HASL/CG might come out, and the price was right. I sent the Ch. H that came with to a guy in Germany who was needing it.

P.S. We had the pleasure of hosting a student from Methodist Ladies' College in Melbourne last holiday season.

I hope you convinced her to start a school ASL club. We could do with more ladies at our tournaments (as opposed to the "big girl's blouses" we have a preponderance of already).

I agree with your approach in some cases, but ideally i would prefer changing rules when they are poorly designed / overly complex / cumbersome to implement.

Get my age, you don't have to ignore them any more, you just can't remember. And, if you do you can feign senility anyway!

I follow the rules. D1.84, "in official scenarios only the armament configuration illustrated in the scenario OB is available unless the number of such vehicles required exceeds the number provided in the game, in which case the excess can be composed of vehicles with optional armament (of the owner's choice) provided that armament is available within that time frame."

Oh No I don't have enough Sherman Counters, I will have to use these Shermans with the optional bow mounted Flamethrowers.

Unless you are playing a BFP scenario there are no Sherman counters printed with bow-mounted FTs in the game.

So I need the BFP pack to get a bow mounted FT? These collectible counter games are getting out of hand.

Operation Cobra has the bow-mounted FTs. Unless you got one of the golden sets from TAHGC they aren't in the official sets. I don't think any of the other TPPs put one out [EXC: I can't comment on CH nor Broken Ground].
