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


Re: Question - LLMC/LLTC and Concealment Loss

Another interesting fact. ?The original first printing of the ASL rules had "LLMC/LLTC” omitted in A12.141. ? This was added later to A12.141, however they did not update the Concealment Loss Chart. ?The list in A12.141 is exactly like the line in the chart, the difference being the “LLMC/LLTC” reference.

In my opinion, AH/MMP intentionally added it to A12.141, so I would favor that either LLMC/LLTC is a concealment loss regardless of passing/failing, despite the chart not listing it.

The shot completely missed the concealed units and only affected the unconcealed units (see context below). ? It was a DFPh shot that affected the unconcealed units but had not affect on the concealed units (off the chart), but the unconcealed 9-1 broke, meaning everyone in the location needed to take a -1TC (LLTC) including the concealed guys. ?My questions are specific to that of taking either LLMC and LLTC. ? Chart and A12.141 differ. so that is why the lawyers need to get involved. ?I checked the latest version of the chart.

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.?

Hi Whit. Congratulations on the burgeoning family :-). Registering at the door is no problem. The hotel room could be problematic, as the hotel is renovating and that caused the hotel drop dead date to be firm.?

I would strongly recommend giving them a call. You won't be able to get the block rate, but hopefully something acceptable.

If an enemy units fires, everyone gets hit, because the enemy units are in melee in the hex and all else are enemy to them.

Hi,

A11.15 says that concealed units are not held in Melee, and that they can fire in their next fire phase (PFPh/DFPh depending on who advanced in) as TPBF. ? It also says upon losing concealment the unit is now held in Melee.? In the last sentence it says that non-Melee units can fire and it will affect all units in Melee (friendly and enemy).

Q1: ?If the Melee consisted of three units (one enemy MMC, one friendly MMC and one friendly concealed MMC), and the concealed MMC decided to fire as TPBF, would it hit the other friendly MMC and well as the enemy MMC?

Q2: In the above situation, the Melee occurs in an orchard hex with a 1S Foxhole occupied by the friendly concealed MMC, and non-Melee units fire into the Melee hex, who benefits from occupying the 1S Foxhole TEM?

Q3: ?What is it were reversed with the friendly unconcealed MMC under the 1S Foxhole, who benefits from the 1S Foxhole TEM?

Q4: ?If the friendly concealed MMC had remained in the Melee hex concealed, could it fire out of the Melee hex at moving enemy units during Defensive First Fire (if that was the next phase allowing units fire)?

Q6: Or, is the friendly concealed MMC restricted to TPBF within the Melee hex (in PFPh/DFPh)?

Q7: ?How should the hex be marked (CC/Melee counter) when two concealed MMCs (enemy and friendly) occupy the Melee hex and neither decides to engage in CC?
