I did not realize, when I was doing the Refit Phase, that I was coming down with some sort of respiratory illness. It did seem odd that playing #AdvancedSquadLeader was wiping me out physically that much. My reaction to the Refit Phase rules might very well be colored by my building illness. We'll see once I finish the next day in the CG. (Gotta do taxes first, and get better.)
Finished the first day and part of the Refit Phase after. I spent all week obsessing about the battle. The Refit Phase, I found it to be overly fiddly, and not really fun. Drawing the perimeters? Ugh. The rulebook desperately needed multiple illustrated examples. I gave it my best shot. #AdvancedSquadLeader
For the first time, I am playing a HASL campaign for #AdvancedSquadLeader. This is Hatten In Flames CGII, the short one. In this photo, the setup is almost but not quite done.
I played through the first game turn this afternoon. As usual, I am taking my time.
This scenario is decidedly larger than I am used to, but it's good to expand my horizons sometimes.
I'm trying to take the hill and the Americans have a heavy machine gun on the north-eastern flank that's preventing me from quickly scrambling up the hill. We'll see whether the sacrifices made at the foot of the hill will be enough to get me up there in time. The 3rd Allied turn of 8 turns in total is about to start.

Well, #AdvancedSquadLeader Starter Kit is sure adding more neat stuff (via SSR). Basic Training Issue One features this scenario S105, Storm Group Sedelnikov, a Stalingrad meat grinder with several terrain features not normally available in SK!
If you are an #AdvancedSquadLeader Starter Kit aficionado, you may not own a copy of the only historial module published for it. Decision At Elst has been out of print for years, but that will end in a few months.
MMP put up a pre-order for a new printing this morning. Go get it!
