| Open the ASL Rulebook Hal. |
Do you think a HAL unit would have its line of sight blocked to the interior of the ship if you held the ASL Rulebook up over it's little red eye? You will learn the answer to that question as we explore rule 6, LOS. It is a bit of a "quiz show" so sharpen your mind and prepare to listen. See if you can beat Jeff to the right answers.

You new ASLer's can learn alot about the history of the game from our interview with the very famous and most wise, Dave Ginnard. You older players will enjoy hearing about the good old days. He hails from Ohio and was there at the genesis of Advanced Squad Leader. He's also a lot of fun to listen to in his own right. So give it a listen. Rich Spilky connected us at the ASL Open. Thanks, Rich.
Remember to not run into any trees everyone.

Great interview with Dave. As for the old scenarios, as tournament director and as helping out at Tussle, I make it a mission to include some as old as Guards Counterattack. They are classics for a reason. We mix them up with new scenarios, but cannot go without the golden oldies!
ReplyDeleteRoll Low!
To have Dave Ginnard send you a shout out on a 2 Half-Squads Podcast...well let me just say...that's AWESOME!!! But to set the record straight. I went 2-1 at March Madness. Can't wait for Round 1 St. Louis with Mr. Ginnard!
ReplyDeleteThe chart referenced and linked here by Jeff is very helpful. The chart was put together by our ol' friend idjester (interviewee from T2HS Episode 195). The chart makes a reference to a part two dealing with blind hexes, and that chart can be found here https://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/83390/blind-hexes-los-aid
ReplyDeleteYes, that is the link we were looking for.
