Well, it's been a year since I've last posted about Advanced Squad Leader. I've gone over the games I've played and in the last 13 months, I've played 32 games to completion, with a win/loss record of 15 and 17.
Here are some of my noteworthy games:
Here are some of my noteworthy games:
Badonov's Boys
This was my first-ever full ASL match that was played face to face. This was played at Huzzahcon in Maine. I lost this match quite handily; however, I did well. I opened the match with a long range AT shot against a Ferdinand that cut it in half. Later, I had the other Ferdinand with 2 T 34s on either flank. Unfortunately (for me), that Ferdinand shot and killed both tanks with great shots.
The Queen's Prequel
At the same tournament, I won this game, my first ever! I was the defending Germans and I prevailed against Ted Wilcox. He is a gentleman player and I thoroughly enjoyed the match.
In Sight of the Volga
Alain Chabot and I played this face to face at my place during a great weekend. I was moving to the USA and we took this opportunity to get in one last blast. I note this scenario because it was the first full ASL match in which I won vs Alain.
Among the Ruins
This was a VASL game that I played against Alain Chabot. I was the attacker, and this was one game in which my plan pretty much survived contact. I drove through his flank and pressed on to the exit area for the victory conditions. Great match
So, in short, this is a great game, I love it, and given that I am now in a virtual pool of great players, I can only see my participation and enthusiasm growing by leaps and bounds!
