ASL Action Report #1 - Advanced Squad Leader

[@nikkibaugher2427]

Awesome intro!!! Keep up the good work!

[@StewsReplay]

P9 spotted fire to N7 should be out of LOS unless the hills do not exist. The hill creates a plateau effect. The AA gun likewise can on,y fire ar L1 units. Good lighting

Thanks for the input! I appreciate it!

Great quality - thanks

Initial Errata: 14:28 - Should have said "3.7cm" 39:00 - The unit had already routed in the RtPh (3.6), while the French squadron had moved adjacent during the APh (3.7)... Therefore the initial placement was correct. 40:30 - The French area target acquisition marker should have been removed (6.11 in reference to 6.10) 41:10 - The PaK 40 should not have lost its infantry target acquisition when the French squadron moved from the wooded area to the building (6.10). If it was a mortar in its place instead, the acquisition marker would not have moved with the squadron (6.11) I also forgot to mention several highlights through out the Sit Reps. I'm sure I made a few more errors on and off camera as well. One turn I did not even place any German residual fire markers at all during a major French push. I'm pretty certain it would have intervened in a few of the moves. I just don't worry about it so much, just try and remember it for next time and that makes it easier!

The free french infilitration team should have a captured German MMG in this scenario, not a British MMG. It's easy to miss, but a close look at the icons and special rules make it clear. (Edit: Just seen this mentioned in the comments below, feel free to disregard/consider this confirmed at your option.)

[@epicfoxtabletop2165]

Hi GaGrin, yes you are correct! This was mentioned by another vet in a previous comment. I completely overlooked that detail. Very much looking forward to another play through on this one. Thanks for the input! I could use all the help I can get!

Thanks for the game.

Good AAR - enjoyed watching some ASLSK2 to get a sneak preview of what comes after kit 1 (where I'm currently at as a new player). Say, I'm in the market for one of the nice counter corner rounders often discussed online and like the look of your counters... may I ask which corner radius you've gone with?

[@epicfoxtabletop2165]

Thanks for taking the time to watch! The clipper I use is an Oregon 2mm punch.

[@JonnyTenebrous]

​@@epicfoxtabletop2165 Thanks! I picked up the one you recommended and just finished up Starter Kit #1 with it - looks great! I have many, many more ASL counter sheets to prepare (I bought in big...), and I don't want to think about how much more work that would've been without such a tool.

[@StewsReplay]

57:47 You are correct. Has to drop mortar. SW > IPC. No worries.

[@venchingkim317]

The German AT should not have been able to fire on that squad in the road (it's outside the Gun's CA) without the gun changing it's CA. And I'm pretty sure that's a NT Gun and, therefore, would have paid +3 for the CA change DRM and would have been doubled to +6 DRM for being in the woods. A +6 DRM would have, I'm sure, meant a miss.

[@epicfoxtabletop2165]

Hey sorry for the delay. I changed it for the deployment video and forgot to set it back. Although at some point I lost track of it and messed up. I'm just know able to start recording again and will be focusing on these things much closer. Thanks for your comment on the gameplay!

[@norlin76]

75L getting a result of 4 should only be a 3MC? The FFNAM/FFMO would only apply to the TH roll. Thinking you got a 1KIA on that squad somehow but might have been in error? Was also wondering if the MMG in the castle is supposed to be represented by a German counter or not, since the SSR2 says that MMG uses captured use penalties?

[@epicfoxtabletop2165]

Hey thanks for taking the time... Indeed I never once had the thought to use a German mmg which is probably correct. Odd that I didn't put that together. The roll though was a KIA, I specifically remember that result but not the roll unfortunately. In my soon to follow action reports I have begun to keep better track of important details. Thanks again!

[@thompsoncox6068]

The audio is way too low. I can't enjoy what I can't hear.

[@wojnanaplanszy5058]

Bit to silent, imho.

[@epicfoxtabletop2165]

Yes I noticed the same thing. I was sitting rather close to the mic and thought it would have been to load at a normal level. In the future, I'll be sure to speak up! Thanks for your input, I appreciate it!

[@tdell-jv7ww]

Where did you get those nice tweezers? Sounds trivial, but I'm getting fumble-fingered in my old age!

[@epicfoxtabletop2165]

No shame in that! That's why I use them as well. You can do a search on amazon for "long tweezers" or "long forceps". You should also be able to pick up a pair in the first aid isle of most drug stores.

[@tdell-jv7ww]

Thanks!
