A subreddit dedicated to Advanced Squad Leader (ASL), the World War II small-unit tactics board game by Avalon Hill/Multi-Man Publishing
For the discussion of all things Advanced Squad Leader (ASL) - the small-unit tactics board game by Avalon Hill/Multi-Man Publishing.
Rules of the subreddit:
1. Be civil. Remember the human and follow the reddiquette. Also remember that some people are brand-new to the game- dumb questions and disagreements are allowed, but personal attacks are not. Comments or attacks on the basis of age, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity will absolutely not be permitted.
2. Content must pertain to Advanced Squad Leader. The definition of "pertains to" will be kept pretty broad, but be realistic. No low-effort content, no spam, no NSFW content.
3. No excessive marketing or self-promotion. It's cool to try to buy or sell your stuff, or share a neat shop/product that you found, but repeated posts and/or comments doing so aren't so cool.
4. No pirated content. Avoid sharing copyrighted content and material that is still in print. Use your best judgement on material that is no longer available in the real world, but consider this your first and only warning if there is a complaint by the original creator/copyright owner.
5. No real-world politics. Only ~80-year-old politics, and only in the context of the board game. Or just none at all would be nice.

The penultimate turn of BFP 102 Tolstoy Woods
I (Russians) need to capture one more building for the win. I don't think I'm going to do it.

Bounding First Fire, the evening bottles.
Evenings at tournaments are for good friends, good chats and awesome drinks!

First game at Bounding First Fire
First scenario at Bounding First Gire against Eric. Seemingly I played this a year ago as a part of the Friday Night Fights. I have nomrecollections of it at all! This is why there's no FNF announcement post today, all the Abefdeen guys are in Blackpool.

Campaign game RPG add-ons
Wondering about these new PC wargames that have 3rd person view for soldier to improve control during a battle.
I have Purple Heart Draw from Lone Canuck, I'm thinking of working in a leader tracking system, with names for leaders and list of exploits.
I need an experience system, and probably an AI to run the non-playing side (Mythic?) and ways to hype this type of play for myself.
Gotta consider what would make this cool to play.

What’s the fastest you or your opponent conceded a scenario? What was the scenario and what happened?

FNF 8 Novemeber
This week we venture into the Far East with a Chinese Japanese scenario, AP 99 Bare Foot Beating. 16 of us will meet up on Friday (or Saturday or Thursday whatever works for the players) to play this one from a few years ago. Attacking with Chinese troops can be...interesting.

Overlay fix
What's the procedure for getting replacement overlays for DB4?
I've seen some chatter but no hard details

New Storage System for me
I found these trays online. Some guy in some group on some other social media had these, spoke well of them, so I decided to try them.
Well, I love them! They are lightweight, durable, and fit perfectly in MMP boxes. Found them on Amazon. Look for Flying Buffalo.
Anyway, enjoy!

Friday Night Fights 2 Nov FT70 Tide Across the Caucasas
This week we are up yo 14vplayers taking part with games starting in the afternoon tight through to the evening. It's an older scenario but looks fun with both sides fighting the terrain as much as each other!

Place to Sell?
Can someone point me to a good place to sell an item or two? I have a 3rd Edition Beyond Valor still shrink-wrapped, and opened/unpunched 1st Edition Solitaire modules. Thanks!

Friday NIGHT fights 17th Octber
This week we see 12 players take on BoF18 Niedermans Escape. A small but well led force of Germans try to escape past a blocking force of Spviets. Both sides have armour support although we are not talking heavy beasts in this one. A 1937 tank can be quite effective when the enemy has not AT weapons! Although it is 1944, the Germans have no PF. We also welcome another new player. The poor guy is playing me though, so he probably will not come back!

Looking for opponent in Germany
Hi,
I am looking for an opponent that is willing to teach me to play ADL SK or directly full ASL. I would prefer to start F2F in the Frankfurt/Darmstadt/Mannheim/Heidelberg area.
Some years ago I played solo one scenario of SK1 and read the infantry rules for full, but of course I would need to read them again.

Friday Night Fights 11 oOctober
This week, 10 of us will be playing DB135 The Krinkelterwald. It features a rag tag group of GIs defending against some poor but numerous German troops in the Ardennes. Should be a short but intense gene. Feel free to join us on VASL and if you message one of the players we can add you to the discord it Skype call so you hear what us happening.

Nothing cooler than riding a Taczanka into battle and laying waste to Axis troops with an IFT 4 AAMG :D
