I just wanted to join the crowd and say thank you to Charlie, Mike, Carl, Joe, and Ralph and everyone else at NorEaster. I really enjoyed all of your company, and can't wait to meet again in the future. Brian

Lost - 1/2" precision green die, no logos, square - no rounded edges. Was lost near the closest door to the elevator. If found, let me know, I will facilitate reunion with the owner. (It's not mine.) Thanks, Mike

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. -Whit

Who won the main? I know Paul Anderson won Friday Mini - congrats Paul! —Chuck T

Hi folks - I have unpunched copies of BRT and ABtF. Looking to get $300 each or $500 for the pair. Willing to deliver but prefer to not ship. Please email directly with any interest. —Chuck T

Enjoy your games guys!

Hi, Received the game the other day along with a surprise bag of plastic pieces. No explanation what they are or purpose. Anyone know what they are for? Curious, —Paul

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, If you're still looking for a match-up for the first round, let me know. See you soon Thx, Charlie

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 Thanks, —Paul

Hi, Just wanted to confirm that Andy Howard got the emails about the matchup with Ron Duenskie. Andy, I have Ron's picks, if you can get me yours, I'll help with scenario and side selection. Thx, Charlie

Hi, My Thursday opponent let me know he's feeling under the weather and will not be arriving on Thursday. So, I'm looking for a new Thursday opponent (or two). I expect to arrive by 10am. If anyone is looking for a Thursday game let me know. Thanks, Brian

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? Thanks, —Paul

Looking forward to seeing everyone at Nor’easter. Is anyone interested in doing a larger scenario on Thursday. Perhaps any of the new products; Mannheim Cross, Journal, Ponryi, or whatever. Larry Flaherty

?Hi Folks, I’m looking for any analysis/tutorial articles about ASL Night rules. Specifically any that talk about the differences between NVR and Illumination, with regards to rules E1.101 and E1.9. The following two rules are absolutely essential in order to play any night scenario properly. E1.101: “The NVR of all units in an Illuminated Location is limited to Illuminated areas only [EXC: Gunflashes as seen per 1.8]". E1.9: “Illumination can occur via Starshell/IR of Fires - none of which create daylight conditions. Night rules remain in effect in an Illuminated Location [EXC:..; Illuminated units can see only Gunflashes and into Illuminated Locations; 1.101]”. Q1: Based on these two rules; if a Starshell/IR illuminates your location, does this limit your unit(s) within that Illuminated Location from seeing anything other than gun flashes or other Illuminated Locations regardless of their NVR? Meaning they are now restricted from seeing (no LOS) to non-Illuminated Locations even within their NVR. Q2: Is there a clear distinction between hexes visible within the NVR, and those same hexes if they become Illuminated Locations (E1.9). Meaning, that hexes within its NVR are not considered Illuminate Locations, unless a Starshell/IR or Fire illuminates them. Q3: If a unit is not ‘within’ an Illuminated Location, can it see out to its NVR and any Illuminated Locations/gunflash (even if there is a gap between NVR and that Illuminated Location/gunflash)? The reason I am asking, is whether these rules can be utilized to blind a defender by firing a Starshells/IR into his positions, so the he might only be able to shoot out (of his Illuminate Location) at gunflashs and other Illuminated Locations. This might allow an attacker to safely move without being seen by avoiding movement through Illuminated Locations. Of course during his Defensive First Fire Phase he could fire Starshells/IR on your advancing units and the gig could be up, but it isn’t guaranteed. Thanks, —Paul

Hi folks Ended up with an extra Mannerheim Cross. $144 if you’d like it and I can deliver at NorEaster. —Chuck T

Hi Folks, Wondering if there is anyone who would want to playtest a few things. I haven't done any playtesting in a while, is it boring? I have no schedule for it, just curious. I have a couple ideas that might be fun. Andy Howard
