Nor'easter pics for Dispatches
Hi guys, Vic from Dispatches here, I had a great time at the Nor'easter yesterday but spaced out and forgot to take pics of Joe Leoce's wonderful 1st place Diorama and also need a pic of the trophy presentation to the winner, so if someone there can please take these pics and e-mail them to me for the newsletter, I would be greatly appreciative, Vic.

Hi Len, I might be interested, I'll be there on Saturday. So you have any pics of these products?
If so, let me know directly at? aslbunker@...? I might be able to get a small ad in the next Dispatch if you want.
See you in 2 days, Vic.
Hi all! Looking forward to seeing folks at Nor'easter this weekend!
Just wanted to let my YASL friends be the first to know that in the near future I'm opening an Etsy shop where I'll be selling various 3D-printed board game accessories, and many of my products will be ASL-related. ?In fact, I have already designed a phase/SAN/ELR tracker, some custom dice/accessory boxes, and counter trays for both Hozan and Raaco boxes. ?Other things are coming, I have more ideas, and I'm always open to suggestions? :)
I will have samples of the above products with me at Nor'easter, both for sale and available for custom order. Please stop by my table and take a look! And if you can't make it to Nor'easter, I'll post my shop link here once it's open.
Thanks
Len

Hi all,

See you soon
Thx, Charlie?

Wrong hobby to be "math challenged" David ;-). BTW, it's been a hound's age. How are ya? Carl
Hi Len
How about an ASL-themed slide rule so I can more easily calculate CC odds.? ?

Re: Question - LLMC/LLTC and Concealment Loss
Yes. Interesting observation on the chart though. Carl

Go by the Concealment Loss table. The rules themselves list that as the go-to. I believe take a TC/MC is on there.

Hi,
Q1:?Would a?LLMC?result in concealment loss for units that fail and break?
Q2:?Would a?LLTC?result in concealment loss for units that fail and become pinned?
Context:?In our scenario example, a DFPh shot affected the non-concealed units (including the leader who broke) and had no affect on the concealed units. According to the Concealment Loss Chart: - If a?LLMC?breaks a unit it loses concealment
- If a?LLTC?pins a unit it would?not?lose its concealment

Hey all!
Been a long while since I've seen any of you. I think the last
Nor'easter I attended was in maybe 2017 or 2018 (when my oldest
son was a year or two old). That son is now about to turn 9, and
I have a second son who just turned 7.
?
I've used that time to mold my oldest son into a wargaming
partner for life. And I think he's finally ready for a tourney,
so I plan to make my return to the Nor'easter this weekend, with
him in tow. I didn't get my act together early enough to
pre-register or get a room, but barring any problems with the
hotel or registering at the door, we plan to show up Saturday
morning and spend the rest of the weekend there with him.
?
I won't be able to compete in the tourney, and will
definitely spend a bunch of time playing ASL with my son, but
would also love to find a game or two with some old friends who
aren't in the running for the trophy and will be forgiving of my
blunders after so many years without having my nose buried in
the ASLRB.?
?
