Gebirgs Jaeger are mountain troops.

Thanks for the videos. Please don't take offense - I've never played ASL and have been seriously thinking about trying it out, but man, those maps are truly hideous compared to other offerings of today. I imagine the gameplay/simulation experience to be awesome, or it wouldn't still be around and selling, though

[@stevelenores5637]

Actually they are better then you think. Thicker boards will warp. These boards were designed to be placed between plexiglass when played. The will stay nicer for years because they are better protected. PS - you can pick up plexiglass cheap at Home Depot or Lowes.

[@rastamann2009]

@@stevelenores5637 I get that, but don't mean the thickness of the cardstock in the maps, but rather their graphic design. That's what I find hideous.

[@stevelenores5637]

@@rastamann2009 OK, then maybe Advanced Squad Leader is not for you. These maps depict terrain and elevation for line of sight, movement costs, and modifiers for dice rolls. They are very effective for that. Players would get too confused if Buildings were in the same hex as trees. Orchards (4 trees) represent an orchard that covers the entire hex. Think of it more like a schematic showing functionality and not a picture of scenery.

Sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know of a method to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my password. I would love any assistance you can offer me.

thanks for the review

[@matthieulelidec5293]

So this is a standalone and I can start playing with it but do I have all the units that I will need if I buy a scenario pack ?

[@ardwulfslair]

The expansion pack is actually also standalone. The scenario packs, I'm not sure.

[@stevelenores5637]

@@ardwulfslair Scenario packs don't come with pieces but they do come with maps. MMP will sell individual maps if you need one though some are out print. Sometimes I use pennies for units I don't have or can't get (buttons too). Heads - normal, tails - broken. It's better than the ransom you have to pay for out of print items. ;-)

ONE OF SEVEN STARTER KITS??????....Ive researched it and only found 4!!?? What are the 5-7??

[@ardwulfslair]

The others are scenario packs and Decision at Elst.

[@MB-oc1nw]

Can anyone help me understand the vehicle combat rules in this kit? I can't understand it...it's poorly laid out confusing and not well explained.

[@ardwulfslair]

I hope to do some video on that at some point.

[@MB-oc1nw]

@@ardwulfslair That would be great
