ASL Festivus has passed. We had eight players today. Pj Norton (French) played against Marco Cuenca (Japanese) in J69, Army at the Edge of the World, which went down to the last CC roll for a French win. (1st Picture). Gary Bikar and Guy Flummerfelt got in two scenarios. i didn't catch the first one but the second one was Puma Prowls which they played for the draw. (second picture). You can see David Lamb setting up the second scenario against me. We play GWASL, with Dave winning with the ANZAC forces against my Germans in GWASL 58 Bayonet to Bayonet. Dave then took the Germans against my Aussies in GWASL 56 Determination and Valour. (third picture) The Germans took a beating, not a good day for the men in grey. Mike Fetty took on Matt Keuregian in Matt's return to ASL in ASL T4 Shklov's Labors Lost. Matt won with Germans.
So the Feats of Strength over the ASL game boards went on all day and there was much airing of grievances over the dice rolls. And the pizza was good too. Good times.
As you will see the group is a bunch of spring chickens. PJ, and Dave have been playing ASL since 1983. Fred also has amazing knowledge on the rules. A bright spot is that some of the younger folks are expressing interest in ASL..
The Festivus Pole is ready for celebrations. Today is ASL Festivus for the rest of us.
 |
| Bayonet To Bayonet Pregame. Every hex of rows D-G has a full-strength Smoke counter in it. |
 |
| Turn 3, after the Smoke had cleared, and a lot of guys on both sides had died in melees. The ANZAC were ahead in winning most of these. |
 |
| End Game: the trenches have been cleared of the German raiders, but a high price is paid by all. Great GWASL scenario! |
Love the festivus pole+logo! May have to build a pole for this year and have it at my house...thanks for the inspiration.
