Thanks. It's interesting to see how others live and do. So, dust doesn't exist where you live? I can swipe my stuff and turn around and it's dusty again.

Thanks for the video post, and especially the commentary and edited notations onscreen. I also enjoy seeing cardboard moved around rather than a 2D VASAL screen.

Thanks so much for this presentation! ... I had gotten Guadalcanal from AH and later Panzer Blitz while a friend owned Luftwaffe. THis took me from age 10 to my early teens. Then after a seemingly long hiatus I got Squad Leader in my early 20s and was hooked! When COI came out I thought the SL system was complete and in addition realized, for the first time, that the U.S. wasn't the main country that warred against Germany! I had no idea how immense the conflict was on the Eastern Front - only that Colonel Klink would sometimes threaten to sent Sgt. Schultz there for punishment - which I thought was primarily the cold. Little did I know. COI was - and still is - awesome. ASL is truly awesome! But I do miss the older boards - particularly the color and detail difference. Foe example on the new board 5 on the upper and lower right parts of board 5 the gullies look just like wooded tree lines - barely distinguishable from the dark woods whereas they are very distinguished gullies on the old board 5. I wish MMP could make all the boards in a retro version,, along with all the boards in a winter version! I like the sniper rules of COI and really think in some scenarios they would be more accurate portrayals and therefor think a hybrid system would be better and am playing around with doing my own! Awesome video and thanks!

2:47 you say there is a hinderance because of the orchard. In that same example, if the orchard was instead open terrain. Would it have been clear line of sight even though there are buildings on both sides of the line of sight?
@ASLAcademy
@ASLAcademy 5 күн бұрын
Yes. LOS is only obstructed (not clear) if the line of site hit's an obstacle between the firing and target hexes. Obstacles block LOS, hindrances only hinder LOS (make it harder to have an affect).

Enjoying your videos, but I suggest you re arrange the playlist so that when you press play button on the playlist it goes lesson 1-2-3-4-5 rather than its current order of lesson order of 5-4-3-2-1

I've always assumed that the player was a company leader, since the player is the overall commander of a company (typical sized scenario). Thanks for sharing your thoughts and interesting WWII U.S. Army tactical doctrine.

I watched the video to the end... 😌 And It was easy and fun to do it. Thank you so much for the quality of the video : exhaustive, analytical, stimulating, motivating, full of life, insightful, a lot of tips. I have nearly finished to read the ASLSK rulebook up to vehicles. I bougth the ASLSK#1 and will received it during the week. I'll start with easy Infantry scenario. Then I am thinking following your advice jumping directly to ASL. First learning by doing as you said.

Thank you very much for the video. It confirmed that I had well understood the way to use the rules for the to hit process (guns vs infantry). You introduction about the difference between ITT and ATT is very insightful in pointing out the situational aspect of the choice of using ITT or ATT. 😌😉☺️

What wopuld be great in SK is rules for passengers on AFVs. I find that rather lacking.
@ASLAcademy
@ASLAcademy 9 күн бұрын
A lot of overhead with that one, including move mechanics, delineating which AFVS can/cannot have riders, To Hit mechanics (collateral damage on riders when VTT is used to hit a vehicle), etc.

I have three copies of COI, two unpunched that I should sell really. It does add a lot of extra rules to the system. A lot of the older players felt this was the peak in terms of the balance between complexity and playability. Some would say that was COD. Personally I felt the original module got the balance right and that what we really needed from the Gamettes was the added nationalities, scenarios and boards (much as the ASL modules provide). My darker blue AFVs are (I think) an even darker blue than yours. I hate that. I'd still like to make a set of COI AFV counters that are the normal nationality colour. The French that come with COD are too close in colour...

Excellent trip down memory lane, my memory being what it is, surprised at what I don't remember about it, other than "Paw Of The Tiger", my favorite scenario from it. Surprised at how much they added in rules, was kinda thinking it was mostly just armor stuff. I was so in love with SL at the time, it was so cool to be getting an expansion to the system, more scenarios, a new map, so exciting. It's crazy to realize how far they came with the game in such a short time, from when SL was released to when ASL was first released and how polished ASL was compared to SL, and how little the rules have changed since it's beginnings, only minor changes between V1 and V2. Definitely mind blowing to look back on the old days and to see how far we've come.

I'd forgot all the changes (and additions) they made in CoI. It was a great expansion. SL started wandering all over the road with CoD, and drove into the ditch on fire in GI. 😂

30:00 I don't understand why LOS is not blocked into BB7 by the hedge, but is blocked into AA8 by the hedge on the unit bypassing. I hope the LOS video next will address this. Thanks for the series.
@ASLAcademy
@ASLAcademy 13 күн бұрын
Even though the units are bypassing the woods in AA8, they are still IN the AA8 hex, and the BB7 hedge blocks all LOS to units IN that hex. People can get a bit confused about infantry and vehicle bypass. Units are still in those hexes during bypass.
