There is one young lady (12) that is making inroads into the game now on VASL and at tournaments. If she is any indication I would love to see more ladies play. Pure class and smart too.

yeah tell me about it. I'm a 2nd generation player who picked up ASL and a real passion for military history from my father and tried to pass it on to my boys but they had ZERO interest in it. Though my oldest took to the drum set and now idolizes Carl Palmer. So I'll consider that a wash man... with extra pride for not going dark side and thinking Peart was the man, Palmer blew him away in any and all drumming aspects.

This. A R2/X6 isn't so bad, but a R1/X6 roll is always my least favorite RPh action.

No one forces you to repair anything.

True, which makes a dr 6 result all the more painful. More often than not, the malf'd weapon/MA/SA is an important one (particularly in smaller scenarios), so I'll hope for the best. The dice giveth and the dice taketh away...

Leaving malf’d guns/sw unrepaired is the same as rolling a 6 on he repair dr anyway. Now if it’s an AFV I might choose to not repair the MA.

No it isn't. A unrepaired gun almost always provides +2 TEM, and an unrepaired sw provides PP.

But this is the heart of ASL; the difference between not only nationalities, but squad types. It takes a practiced hand to manage then all, but only an impatient tongue to scoff

Same as it ever was
No scoffing intended. Managing an attack with 6 morale troops is a step above my skill level. I've seen it done to me dozens of times, but somehow my attacks never seem to work out the same way.

I dread botching my defense and thus not offering my opponent an interesting game.

I've lost games before because I FOTGOT the victory conditions.....sigh. Sometimes I'm doing very well, game in the bag, and decide to go clobber the enemy while he is still reeling only to abandon a position or give him cvp. I get aggressive in all the wrong moments.

Your tournament, your rules. Oh wait...….Looks like you are really going to enjoy our next game Derek

You forget Derek - you never play ASL at Double One
Also Gordon offered me another solution. He would not use a dice cup and dice tower - but would use one of Ian Pollard's sealed transparent cups. We both happily rattled dice in a sealed cup........what amused me was he said "give it a good shake - moving it up and down is not a shake". The dice do indeed drive us all crazy............I am going to try and buy two of those to give my opponent another option.
Everyone else was happy to use a dice cup - apart from Pete - and as I told him, he's special
Many thanks for another great (and fattening) Double One.

And she's in Texas now and I bet kicking some butt.
