ASL Campaign Games are inherently better than scenarios

I just coughed up a lung. Thanks. Bastard. :laugh: :laugh: :kotz:

HASL Terrain is the Best! In ASL, getting new terrain added is more difficult than deflowering a hermetically sealed virgin stuck in a floor safe! Can you believe that DEBRIS is not a standard ASL terrain type?

So Mark, what is the subject of the HASL project you are working on?

Jeez, not that again. I wish people would quit recycling the same old fare and focus on something that hasn't been covered before. Like Kursk or the Bulge.

I want to play a variety of different players rather than playing the same guy over and over.

You mean you don't get excited as the incessant drone of "Assault move. Assault move. Assault move. Assault move. Assault move. Assault move. Assault move. Assault move. Assault move. Assault move.

The thought of another 36+3 doesn't get your heart beating?

Clearly you've been playing the wrong CG. Have you tried Red Barricades?

They are all the same and the best part is you get to do it for 5 player turns a CG scenario, 2+ CG scenarios a CG date, 200+ CG dates a CG. I don't care how interesting the map is, they are boring. -- jim

Sure, a defender will do that a lot. They will in any scenario, you'll usually just have less units.

If you or your opponent is attacking like that constantly, well, it's probably good to be the defender, then

My last fve years in the U.S. Army were spent on the brigade staff. Campaign games have always reminded me of all of the things I hated about being on the staff, too much boring work and very little fun.

 

[Delirium]

I've played one CG (Singling) and it was hands down the best ASL I've played.

Exactly. Scenarios based on conventional boards tend to feature more tactical maneuver for both sides. Decisions you make matter. In a CG, there tends to be less room for maneuver despite the size of the map. And with so many units and so much time, recovery is a lot easier if you make a bad choice. -- jim

 

[Spencer Armstrong]

I've played one CG (Singling) and it was hands down the best ASL I've played.

I'm looking forward to trying Singling. The big CGs (see Jim's comments +1) don't appeal to me at all, but the smaller ones fit my ideal ASL scale. I like Purple Heart Draw even though I gacked it, but for the most part, the big CGs don't appeal at all. Even the ones outside "it's easy, every hex is 3MF" Stalingrad.
