are the hexes the same size as the battletech bases? just curious.

ASL absolutely sucks. It's not a game, it's a rule memorizing exercise. You spend all your life memorizng rules and then refreshing your memory about those rules. You're not replaying history , you're playing a fiddly turn based game with carboard toy soldiers. If you like ASL you're a moron!

GHQ miniatures are 1/285 most 6mm miniatures are 1/300. They are much better quality than their smaller cousins. Its worth noting if you have the models, rules sets like Fist Full of Tows 3 are infinately more playable than ASL.

Good stuff brother and a classic scenario

Very interesting and entertaining this basic SL video. Look forward to more.

I e got to get this again. What a wonderful game for battalion battles

4:29 matte amen!!!

Great video, but the chances of bagging those results are slim. Assuming a 7 on all rolls (the most likely outcome) then on a 4 FP -2 FFMO/FFNAM the results are 1MC, which statistically, those 6-2-8s would pass even without the Human Wave bonus. If the fire is not spread, then it becomes 8 FP on H4 and G5, where a 5 final result = 2 MC. Still, statistically the Russkies would pass, they're immune to Pin, but the chances are better. The squad + LMG in F5 is well advised to spray, though, as that's the only way to get the -3 DRM on both hexes, still earning a 2MC on both hexes if they roll 7s. I wish I'd done advanced statistics at school so I could work out whether a single 8FP attack is more beneficial than 2 4FP attacks, though! Thanks for sharing this, Dave.

I used to play this 30 years ago in my wargaming club. Good memories.

Hope you had a good time at WO!

LOLOLOL. Good thing you have Brian there to sort out your technical difficulties! I kinda wish I was there hanging' with you lads....enjoy!

Hello Merry Christmas any change a small cross of iron play through? Maybe a couple of turns,?

In a Slide Rule Training Course, the Mathematical Method that was taught to accurately keep track of the decimal point was to convert the numbers into their scientific notation. This was especially important for the calculation of very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, 5,500 x 3,500 = 19,250,000. This is because (5.5 x 10^3) x (3.5 x 10^3) = 19.25 x 10^6 = 19,250,000. Similarly 0.055 x 0.035 = 0.001925. This is because (5.5 x 10^-2) x (3.5 x 10^-2) = 19.25 x 10^-4 = 0.001925.

Thank you for your video. The Keuffel & Esser Deci-Lon Slide Rule came with an excellent comprehensive hardcover instruction manual which has 186 pages. It can still be bought from various vendors. Otherwise a copy in pdf format can be found online and downloaded for free.

I thought the title said "Skipping concealment in Advanced Squad Leader" which I'm an expert at.

I play full ASL, but these videos are still useful, because ypu clearly differentiate when and how the SK rules vary from full ASL. Thanks again!

David, it’s Stuart Ashley here, we met at Tussle. I was in the Starter Kit Tournament. I’m heading to Albany at the end of the month, with Rob Loper, and wondered if you were going?

Question from a noob: If I stack the Green MMC with a SMC leader, and I move as a stack, do I have 6MF?

Gracias.

I always seem to be missing your livestreams :(

Thanks for sharing this. Still wrapping my head around this.

👍

thanks for the examples...always helpful

I'm sorry I missed your live review. I love Squad Leader. To me it is still one of the best games ever produced.

I'm really enjoying these ASLSK "Primer" series. Thanks.

As usual, you explain things accurately in great detail! Great job! Yes I am home from Spain now :)

Thank you for this series.

Another great video!

Do you know of any guide to converting SK scenarios to full ASL?

I hope you noticed you caught a heritage unit

Your video about the intricacies of ASL is absolutely enlightening, it refreshes knowledge in a light and precise way! Congratulations

Another excellent video, very useful - thanks, and keep it up ( please 🙏)

I just stumbled across this video, and NEVER thought of playing on the pc (probably because I know zero about the pc version), but I am just learning the board game version. I'm assuming the strategies, moves, gameplay are similar across the two versions?

I love this game. I first started playing it in 1984 and I still have the game to this date. The hard part is finding anyone who also plays it.

I always get 11's on a 16FP flat shot. Nice demo.

always liked Stalingrad videos, what a maelstrom of violence :)

You promise dryly delivered! And much sooner than I expected! Gracias.

Where to get this scenario: mmpgamers.com/support/asl/classic.zip This will give you plenty of ASL Scenarios :)

Thanks David, I don't think your condescending. some other folks on FB are or come across that way with answers to questions.

Excellent video, especially for those nee to ASL or moving up from SK. Thank you.

Great stuff David!

At 40:15, I say that it's a great example of Spray Fire. I got my terms mixed up. ASSAULT fire, not SPRAY fire.

This is a great tutorial because of the great detail you go through. I hope you do one with vehicles sometime in the future, too.

Is this a one off ? Very good, I watch a lot of ASL content on KZbin ( play FtF ).

More asl

Very nice job.

Good to know the trains are still running in this broken world we live in. Our condolences David, may she rest in peace.

Hope your phone was fully charged.

I am considering purchasing “Squad Leader” and am using your videos and others on KZbin as a way of familiarizing myself with the game. But, in a basic question, does Squad Leader offer a solitaire play format?
