Hex & Violence: October 2013

http://hexandviolence.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html

Sunday, October 27, 2013. J126 Ugly Faces: An Ugly Dicing. John Knowles and I sat down this afternoon to play J126 Ugly Faces from Journal Nine, a Chas Argent design that initially seemed to get some bad press and some fairly rough treatment for the Germans. The omens were not propitious as I knocked over my best coffee mug onto the tiled floor before the game even started. Cacophonix may even have struck up a dirge about Toutatis and the sky falling around that time. Links to this post. While I was unab...

Tactical Wargaming: March 2012

http://tacticalwargaming.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Combat at the Ground Level! Saturday, March 17, 2012. West End Games Fire Team Comprehensive Review, Part 1. In this installment, I want to do a comprehensive overview of the game. Over the next few days, I will add additional parts of the review, including components, rules, and game play. The table for fire against vehicles (Gun/Missile Fire Table) incorporates modifiers for range, target armor, and ammunition. The result is either kill or miss. What's in the box? Four geomorphic unmounted maps. The ma...

ASL explorations: October 2011

http://aslexplorations.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

The Advanced Squad Leader system. Monday, 31 October 2011. First steps with ASL 'proper'. I finally played a game using the SK rules against a real opponent last weekend rather than playing solo. Ashiefan from Boardgamegeek. I now have Beyond Valor as well as the 2nd edition rules. I am also expecting For King and Country to arrive today. We decided to up the stakes for next time and incorporate some of the ASL core rulebook and stick with infantry only. Bypass movement 4.3. Spraying fire 7.34/9.5. BGG) ...

http://strategerygaming.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html

Because talking about games is almost as fun as playing them. Wednesday, April 20, 2011. ASL, "Misservey's Men". Doug Kirk was in town for work, so he came over last night for dinner and a game of ASL. Besides being a top notch player, you can read his excellent March Madness championship AAR here: http:/ forums.gamesquad.com/showthread.php? Doug also puts together the scenario list for the St. Louis Tourney of which he does a fantastic job. End of turn 1. Carrier in flames! Doug did roll 5 or 6 snakes b...

Strategery's Gaming Blog: Let's Go to an ASL Tournament!

http://strategerygaming.blogspot.com/2013/04/lets-go-to-asl-tournament.html

Because talking about games is almost as fun as playing them. Thursday, April 25, 2013. Let's Go to an ASL Tournament! I don't know what gaming tournaments were like in the 80's and 90's, however, I started playing ASL in 1999 and went to my first touney in 2001 and life was good. ASL Tournaments are fantastic. They are the reason that ASL is the Number 1 wargame. So why are ASL Tourneys so prevelant and popular? Could use less "historcical realism" and more "play the fucking game and have fun! He always...
