Because you all love it so much...   ;D

Played a "Deluxe" ASL scenario today- the first time that either me or my opponent had played one.  This is France in '44 with lots of bocage.  The scenario itself was a bit of a dog-ROAR has it rated as severely unbalanced in favor of the Germans and that's how this one went down.  Very interesting though and enjoyable...there's no "stacking" in DASL, every squad/HS/crew/leader has a position within the hex and can be affected differently depending upon the situation.  I've got another DASL game scheduled for next weekend; this time we're moving to Stalingrad where I think DASL will play much better.

Huh. Always liked the idea of the DASL maps but didn't know there were different rules for them as well.

It's in Chapter J and it's very brief.  No rules have changed for them just that you don't stack in a hex.  Residual FP affects just the hexside that the fire went through when firing at a unit moving in bypass and the there's a very slight difference that pertains to moving into close-combat vs entering hand-to-hand fighting.  Very, very minor modifications overall.

I just wish that the designer wasn't such an ass - the game looks very enticing but I refuse to support him by purchasing any of his games.  Please don't escalate my comments; I think it's a beautiful game.

Meanwhile, on my office desk...



My wallet wishes these were freebies, but sadly not. Haven't played Armada in a while so this spend should encourage me to get back in to it.

This just turned up in the mail as well.

Suffice to say I think I have a spending problem.

This problem should be making an appearance at my door on Friday.  Damn you Amazon prime!  I used to have 5-7 days to come up with a cover story!

y'all feel free to send a few of those purchases my way, too :-"

After rearranging / reshelving the Game Den, I've got space to add a few more :D
