I'm not sure that the scalping itself is a monstrous act, but saving the scalps and preserving them for display/notoriety, well...

Bah! ASL is the Scientology of wargaming.  :D


On this, we agree!

How is ASL like Scientology?

I mean, it's not like their followers demand they give up all of their worldly possessions and donate the assets to them to stay in -






Oh.

It's supposed to be a remake of 'We the People'.  Not a bad game actually but it is no hard core wargame that's for sure.

I've looked for a board game I could play with my teens for a good while. Talked with them today, basically asking if they'd like Warfighter: Special Ops or Star Wars: Rebellion.

So given the game's got stellar reviews I guess I can't much go wrong with it, yes?

As a two-player experience, it's brilliant.

I've not had a chance to play the two-team, four-player version.

The mechanics and the choices, however, not to mention the narrative it creates are great fun.  Also, don't be put off by those that claim the rules are all that complex.  They're not.
