A room without a LOS: January 2015

http://aroomwithoutalos.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html

A room without a LOS. Tales of counters and hexspines. Saturday, January 31, 2015. AP45 - Reaping Rewards - T5 - Burning tanks! Marvel at the chain of a burning KV-8, a burning T-34, an immobilized T-34, and another burning T-34. The Germans have taught a valuable lessons to the Russian tankers: don't assault in a built-up area without infantry support! This is particularly so if the enemies have MOL capabilities. What an awesome scenario. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Backs to the Sea. Point of the sword.

A room without a LOS: February 2015

http://aroomwithoutalos.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

A room without a LOS. Tales of counters and hexspines. Monday, February 9, 2015. 19 - Backs to the Sea - An AAR. I just bought Yanks! 2Rng/F, concept of operation. The company is to screen the whole width of the AO and slowly trade terrain for time. Keep the germans at standoff range, using shellholes for cover before settling into the woods. . 726th Inf Rgt, concept of operation. We are making a feint on our right, punching hard in the centre, with a credible push on the left. Labels: Backs to the Sea.

A room without a LOS. Tales of counters and hexspines. Sunday, July 20, 2014. Human Factors v0.2 Playtest 1 - ASL 102 - The point of the sword. I decided to try my Human Factors (HF) rules using a live scenario instead of playing small, context-less, setups. Here is a link to the  rules to be playtested. Gist of the Human Factors rules. The germans are going to use forward stone buildings to force the UK commando to bypass into an open area setup as a killing fields. The forward position is also stro...

A room without a LOS: Gavutu-Tanambogo Assault 2 Turn 8

http://aroomwithoutalos.blogspot.com/2015/05/gavutu-tanambogo-assault-2-turn-8.html

A room without a LOS. Tales of counters and hexspines. Monday, May 11, 2015. Gavutu-Tanambogo Assault 2 Turn 8. It took a whole lot of time for the Marines to land on the North shore of Tanambogo. The presence of huts and the narrowness of the landable area took the best of 6 turns to get everyone on shore. Artillery fire from Gavutu and a few well placed MGs kept on breaking the marines in their attempt to encircle the hill. The island is mostly in US hands now. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

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...

Hex & Violence: My ASL

http://hexandviolence.blogspot.com/p/my-asl-collection.html

I had wondered about placing a listing of what I actually own (and have owned in some cases) on this Blog as it might seem like big noting, but really I pale in comparison to the real collectors, plus these days, I'm far more focused on playing anyway. For me this is more about having a publicly available quick reference for both myself and any potential Face to Face, VASL or PbeM opponents so that I don't have to go through a lot of this every time it comes down to choosing a scenario. It's what we do.

Hex & Violence: July 2014

http://hexandviolence.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 21, 2014. The Upside to Moving. There are many upsides to the new place, but something that meshes with my previous post and encapsulates the change in my personal attitude is that I'm now far more comfortable about hosting games and even having a mini-asl event as the Cleavinator does over the New Year's break. Being able to prepare decent food ahead of time will make it far more of a pleasdant event than having to traipse out to buy food etc. Links to this post. What are not visible are th...

Saturday, November 23, 2013. Man Dollies and Miniature Wargaming. It's only taken 5 years, but I've finally started my miniatures blog on Blogger:. If playing with toy soldiers, painting and photography is your thing, please feel free to drop by. Links to this post. Sunday, November 3, 2013. November 2013 Paddo Bearz meeting. Trooped down to Sydney for the monthly Paddo Bearz meeting today, and yes I played some ASL face to face. Pre-Game Setup and Plan. Jeremy is still relatively new to ASL (I felt rath...
