I was in the Navy, and spent all my time at Parris Island and Camp LeJeune, as well as the Med.
But your head fit into the jar. Sorry, couldn't resist! Semper Fi from a squid airedale.I tried... 1 year in the Navy before the Marines... bad ears that could not take the pressure and I was tone-deaf for Sonar.
Transferred to the Marines, as long as I could shoot and fight, they overlooked those defects as well as my heart murmur and flat feet.
We have a Pete Shelling design in Korea going into Dispatch #55, due out later in March... You are right, he handed us something that was pretty close to done before we even started the playtest... He is a designing shaman in ASL...Can not go wrong with a Pete Shelling design thats for sure. Do any of the scenarios require board 77 to play?

Nice to see thoughful, incremental progress. Or as least hear about it (like many others I haven't seen these boards yet).Both boards (and 2 others not published) were designed to add more Eastern Front looking boards (which IMO are sorely lacking).
Board 89 was inspired by Mark Pitcavage some couple years ago who complained about a lack of more realistic Soviet villages. It was also based on the little village of Teploye, Ukraine.
Board 90 was based on the thought that we don't have a full geoboard that has exclusively Grainfields. This board can be used for other theaters also - France, Germany, Poland, etc..
Both boards intentionally have no Hills and 90 (and 91) and no buildings - and are intentionally done to provide 'lay-up' or 'transition' terrain to mate with other 'object' (village, hill, etc.) terrain.
A third board (91)* is an Open board - a few Grainfields and Woods, but OPEN and designed to also help our Eastern Front designers.
A fourth board (92)* is a Hill board - looks similar to B77 but devoid of buildings.

More like Siberians.... Marines would go into battle wearing their blue striped shirts and Navy caps....more like a pair of fire teams....wait, that's Marines
This is NOT Chinese but early war Koreans being attacked early in the war with 6 morale Americans, if they did not have armor support to help (Meatchopper and a Chafee M24 tank) they would be in trouble. This is fought along a ridgeline and in the village below. Minimal Korean rules needed, this has the feel of late WW2. Korea is not my favorite theater of war but it can be interesting and we do not settle for the obvious, Pete does a great job of that, Vic.Not a fan of KWASL, just way way too complicated and everything feels the same, hordes of chinaman charging into machine gun fire gets old real quick.
You're welcome...So don’t give them numbers.
And we still have two of the late Bill Sisler's board designs we are thinking about trying to work into an ASLOk Action Pack.So don’t give them numbers.
I like to give myself a personal challenge once in a while.So just the boards that come with the product. No overlays. All are German vs Russians. So it looks like only Beyond Valor would be needed.
Well don't forget -Don did one himself. He seems to have the Kursk thing down, and that will be his assignment on the team going forward. (Or at least until he decides to try something else.) .Can not go wrong with a Pete Shelling design thats for sure. Do any of the scenarios require board 77 to play?
'Make your buddy smile'The old rally cry..."nut to butt!"
What if the Chinese had a platoon of SS 658s and a couple Panthers as reinforcements? You'd play it then, wouldn't you?Not a fan of KWASL, just way way too complicated and everything feels the same, hordes of chinaman charging into machine gun fire gets old real quick.
