PREP FIREAnother late issue, an all too common experience nowadays

:-( At least this one is just out in time for the tenth anniversary ofINTENSIVE FIRE! Thanks to Ian Daglish for providing the photosof IF95.

One thing I do need in the next couple of weeks is some arti-cles, I’m really struggling for material now, having used most of thestuff I had left over for this years issues.

Double 1. My last, best hope for victory.

EMOTICONSWith the growth of the InterNet, emoticons have originated to allow

people to show expressions in text. I find these very useful for the printedword in general, so you'll see plenty of them in View From the Trenches.

An emoticon is created with keyboard characters and read with the headtilted to the left. Some typical emoticons are:

:-) humour or smiley;-) winking:-> devious smile grin:-( sad:-o shocked or surprised#-( hung-over

INTENSIVE FIRE ’95even close. Of course, since this wasorganised by people with ties to themilitary, maybe that was to be expected?”

Patrik Manlig.

Located in the ‘Headquaters’, a room setaside for non-gaming activities, were a couple ofPCs (which were running Steel Panthers,Battleground:Ardennes, and a copy of theunofficial ASL GAP produced by Steve Zundel),playtest copies of the Kampfgruppe Peiper IImapsheets and The Third Bridge, copies of GodSave The King! and Soldiers of the Negus. Copiesof various fanzines were also on display andavailable for purchase (these went very quickly,especially Critical Hit! 3). See elsewhere forreviews of many of these products.

Many people seemed very happy with thebar prices. 80p for a pint of lager - haven’t seenthose prices for years. Strangely enough, fewpeople seemed to frequent the bar during theevening, although a few four packs wereconsumed.....

“Saturday evening was great fun. Itried to get a game going, but ended updrinking beer and talking ASL withassorted people. Very enjoyable.”

Pete Phillipps

The atmosphere throughout the weekendwas very friendly and easy-going. The only formaltime was during dinner, which was taken in theOfficers Mess and thus required a jacket, shirtand tie.

THE TOURSOne of attractions of Intensive Fire ’95 was

the opportunity to visit the college’s small armsarmoury, the AFV hangar and their wargaminglaboratory. These are not generally open to thepublic, but as a serving Army officer studying adegree there, Neil was in a position to offer thosearriving on Friday the chance to visit all three,and strangely enough many took advantage of theopportunity.

The most impressive sight in the AFVhangar had to be the King Tiger, although also on

Intensive Fire is often risky, but for NeilStevens, his risk turned into a Critical Hit.

OK, so it sounds corny, but to be honest,it is the only way to describe the success ofIntensive Fire ’95, the UK’s first ASL convention.A risk? Sure, trying to organise the first ASLconvention in a country, unsure of the responseyou would get. A Critical Hit? Definitely, since60 ASL players turned up (three times the numberNeil hoped would attend), making it probably thebiggest ASL gathering outside America.

THE VENUEIntensive Fire ’95 was held at the Royal

Military College of Science at Shrivenham, nearSwindon, from Friday 3rd November to Sunday5th November. Accommodation was available inthe college’s Halls of residence at a cost of £35per night, which included all meals. The gamingwas held in the college’s purpose-built Conferencecentre, with three large open rooms being used.

anything like it. The ASL scene in the UKdid not exist. But the start of 1995 saw mestart VFTT and Neil decide to organise a UKASL tournament. Neither of us knew eachother at the time, but we soon were put intouch with each other (by Ian D or Shaun Ithink) and spent the next few monthsexchanging emails, either to discuss what wewere doing or to play email ASL games (inthe days when you had to use the PBM On-My-Honour system as adapted for email play- and this in the days when email was in itsinfancy). I think I speak for most us when Isay that I went to the first IF not quite surewhat to expect - what would other ASLersbe like? Would they be better than me?Would they be serious? Would the weekendbe fun? It soon became obvious that this wasa special weekend, with people playing ASLin almost every waking moment (the restwere spent in the museums at Shrivenham).More importantly, people were enjoying thecompany of other ASLers, and before theweekend was over many were lookingforward to getting together again thefollowing year.

“Saturday evening was greatfun. I tried to get a game going, butended up drinking beer and talking

ASL with assorted people. Veryenjoyable.”

Pete PhillippsNothing has changed :-)

The first winners were the Swedishteam, consisting of Patrik Manlig, BerntRibom, Nils-Gunnar Nilsson and KlasMalmstrom, while the Player of theTournament trophy went to Bernt Ribom ofSweden who went 5-0 over the weekend.Derek Tocher was the top British player,going 4-1 over the weekend – I think he hasjust about forgiven me by now for creditinghim as top English player in the VFTTreport, he is of course Scottish! Interestinglyenough Toby Pilling could only manage a2-2 performance that first year – he has

�� !"�� !"�� !"�� !"�� !"“Intensive Fire is often risky, but for

Neil Stevens, his risk turned into a CriticalHit.”

With those words I started writingabout the first IF. At the time I never thoughtI’d be writing about the same event 10 yearslater.

Back in 1995 there hadn’t been

display were a T34/85, and a number of modernMBTs, APCs, and scout/armoured cars. All butthe Tiger were fully operational, and there areplans for the Tiger to be restored to full workingorder by 1997. We were allowed into all of thevehicles on display, and many seemed to becomeCE 6+1 Armour Leaders for an hour, with theTiger probably being the most popular, eventhough it could only be accessed by the rathersmall driver’s escape hatch unde the hull (andhaving struggled to get through that hatch, I canunderstand why CS is so low for many vehicles).

“I’m back from my foray into theinternational ASL scene. I had a greattime at the Intensive Fire tourny. Thetours were a big hit - where else can youtry a King Tiger on for size! This isdefinitely the place to be next year if youcan sell it to the wife.”

Bob Schaaf.

The small arms armoury containedexamples of 20th century small arms from aroundthe world, as well as a number of LATW such asthe Panzerfaust, the Bazooka and the PIAT. Anarms expert talked us through some of the morecommon German and British weapons of World

War Two, after which we were allowed to walkaround the room and handle many of them. Nolive firing opportunities unfortunately.

In the Simulation and SyntheticEnvironment Laboratory we were shown someexamples of military computer wargaming. Thefirst was an operational level game, set aroundthe Darlington area (simply because they hadmaps avilable for the area) for up to three playerson each side. This game was used to providecombat data on weapon systems, both real andhypothetical. The second game was a 3D shoot-em-up type vehicle simulator. Although notgraphically impressive compared to some homePC games, up to 200 people could be linkedtogether at once to play a real-time engagement!We were also shown a video of a similar Americanoperation where units engaged each other in theGulf of Mexico without leaving their bases, simplyby having all the data from their onboardcomputers transmitted to each other.

THE ACTIONThe tournament itself commenced on

Saturday morning and was based on 14 Fireteamsof 4 players. Over the course of the weekend, eachteam would play 4 matches with each having two

scenarios so in Fireteam A two plays would playone scenario, on as attacker and the otherdefender, and the other two would play the second.

The scenarios played were:Saturday morning - Le Manoir and North

Bank.

“I used to compuete in figurewargaming competitions but was put offby all the cheating and arguing (andsometimes crying and fighting!) that wenton. I expected similar goings on atIntensive Fire, how wrong I was! I hadone ‘arguement’ over a dodgy LOS whenan opponent fired so out came the string.After checking he said there was no LOS,but I disagreed. On closer inspectionthere was a single dark green printers dotabout a 10th of a millimeter wide on theother side of the string! Well I supposethe rules do say that if the terrain isvisible on both sides of the string LOS isblocked, but in this case the width of thewhite center dot and where you put thestring made a difference, I would havegiven him the shot, but he wouldn’t take

improved a bit since then!

“The best thing is the friends Imade, both on my team and amongstnear neighbours who I did not knowexisted. There are three guys whoplay in Blackpool (where I work) andare real eager to get it on for someserious dice time in the near future.”

Trevor Edwards.

For more details check out the reportwrote for VFTT which I have reprintedelsewhere in this issue.

�� !#�� !#�� !#�� !#�� !#To me it was the second IF when the

socialising element really came to the fore.The first year most people seemed to behappy just to have the chance to play ASL asmuch as they could. But the seeds offriendship had been spread that year and the2nd IF saw them grow into friendships thathave lasted to today. After the first IF

everyone was eager to get together again thefollowing year to renew friendships and whatbetter way to do than than over a few beerson Saturday night.

“There’s nothing wrong withliquid morale!”

Trev Edwards

One thing I have noticed over theyears is that the early IF saw people try toplay ASL as often as they could. In manycases this meant playing 3 games a day. Nowmost people are happy to play 1 game in themorning, another in the afternoon, and thenspend the evening relaxing, having a drinkand socialising with other ASLers. A perfectexample of this has to be the ‘Heroes ‘ eventsthat has happened at the last few IF. Theseare a chance to drink, play ASL, and mostlyimportantly have FUN!

Of course the 2nd IF was the year ofthe infamous graduation ball, when severalof us decided to see if we could get into thegraduation ball the college was holding onthe Saturday night of IF. At £25 a person,with attendees either in full military dressor ball room grounds and monkeys (IE MPs)on the door we didn’t think we’d get in. Wedid. It was 2am Sunday morning when weentered. No-one remembers what time weleft, but 6am has been agreed upon since then:-) I was lucky in that I didn’t have to be inthe tournament at 9am, but others (Phil Noboand Simon Morris) had to literally bedragged from their beds to play ASL! Suchbehaviour a few years later led to me beingbanned from being in the tournament at

BERSERK! but it was worth it :-) (and forthose who think it’s unfair that I’m stillbanned 6 years on, all I have to do to lift theban is promise not to repeat that kind ofbehaviour - not gonna happen!).

Improving on his performance fromthe previous year Derek Tocher won the bestplayer award, while a Franco-Belgian teamconsisting of the Tielemans brothers andAlexandre Rousse-Lacordaire won the FireTeam competition.

�� !$�� !$�� !$�� !$�� !$For the third IF, we had to move.

Because Neil had organised them, the first 2IF had been held at the Royal College ofMiltary Science in Shrivenham where he hadbeen based, but in 1997 he was posted toDorset so a new venue was required. Withsome help from Bournemouth local DavidSchofield a new venue was found at theEmbassy Hotel in Bournemouth.

When we arrived on Friday afternoonthere were few tables ready, so some of us

I lost all four of my games, what anawful performance. Just shows us all thedifference between FTF and Email andthe fact that we have so much time inwhich to think of our moves. It was a lotof fun and I look forward to next year.”

Steve Cocks.

The scenarios were chosen to keep the firstIntensive Fire relatively easy, so that it would beopen to as many players as possible.

A number of unofficial friendly gameswere also played in the spare time that playershad in the evenings, particularly on Friday.Nobody tried to play a HASL scenario, althoughone or two people were tempted.

THE RESULTSThe Swedish team, consisting of Patrik

Manlig, Bernt Ribom, Nils-Gunnar Nilsson andKlas Malmstrom, were the clear winners of thetournament, winning 13 of the 15 matches they

were able to complete. For their superbperformance they were rewarded with a set ofengraved glass tankards.

Bernt Ribom of Sweden won all fivematches he played and was awarded with thePlayer of the Tournament trophy, a Britishparatrooper mounted on a stand. Other notableperformances were put in by Patrik Manlig(Sweden) and Ralf Krusat (Germany) with 5 winsand 1 loss each, Nils-Gunnar Nilsson (Sweden)and Derek Tocher (England) with 4 wins and 1loss each, and Alan Smee (Australia), NickEdelston, Bob Eburne, and Mike Rudd (England)who all won the 4 matches they played. As thetop English player, Derek Tocher walked awaywith a copy of Critical Hit! 3.

“The best thing is the friends Imade, both on my team and amongst nearneighbours who I did not know existed.There are three guys who play inBlackpool (where I work) and are realeager to get it on for some serious dicetime in the near future.”

Trevor Edwards.

Mention must also be made of Christian

time the top team was British, consisting ofToby Pilling, Mike Rudd and Joe Arthur.Brits also won the First Division thanks tothe team of Chris Coutiour, Chris Littlejohnand Kevin Beard. Both Mike Rudd and CarlSizmur went 7-0 over the weekend, leadingto our first tie for top player.

The Crusaders Open ASL Ladder wasalso published for the first time after IF97,with Mike Rudd, Carl Sizmur and PeteBennett occupying the top three spots.

this time to the Kiwi Hotel in Bournemouth,a location we have occupied every since.

IF98 saw the first late night at the bar;even though the clocks had gone back someof us still there at 4 in the morning :-) Butbefore that, at 2 in the morning, me and KeithBristow decided to play Aachen’s Pall.Between us we had a rulebook, but wemanaged to Scrounge (A20.) mapboards andunit counters. But our Scrounging DR forSystem counters failed so we found a barand ended up using a beer mat to makesystem counters!

And for some reason I was in a FireTeam a couple of hours later that was in witha chance of winning the Elite division.Thankfully I had to play fellow serious ASLerIain ‘Mad Vet’ MacKay, so it was all overby 11 am and we were able to hit the bar! Acoupe of hours later Iain’s team mates endedup as the winning Fire Team for the weekend.

Simon Strevens took top playerhonours with a 7-1 record, beating off BjarneHansen who had a similar score but who beatslightly inferior opponents based on theirCrusader ladder ratings.

the hotel until 8pm Sunday night!It was also the year that me and David

Schofield stepped into Neil’s shoes toorganise IF. Due to divorce Neil hadtemporarily dropped out of the UK ASLscene, and volunteered us to do his job forhim. Funnily enough he never asked for thejob back when he rejoined the scene a coupleof years later!!

IF98 took place over the sameweekend as the Rugby World Cup semi-finals. This involved Australia, NewZealand, South Africa and France and bycoincidence we had players from those fournations also in attendance. Unfortunately wewere not able to get them to play against eachother over the weekend.

For some reason I only managed toplay twice all weekend. Some say it wasbecause I was too busy organising to play.Others than I was too drunk to play! Theworse thing was it probably was because ofthe former :-(

Bjarne Hansen improved on his IF98to become tournament champion, posting an8-0 record in the process. The 1997 winning

Koppmeyer who managed to play seven gamesduring the tournament (winning 2, losing 5) andMichael Rhodes who managed to lose all fivegames he played. Never mind Michael. A CriticalHit consolation prize is on its way from theorganisers!

“I played 7 matches, lost 5 and won2. It was this convention that showed methe difference between a good player andme. I thought if I had played ASL for fouryears then I would know the game.Wrong, Wrong, Wrong !!! So I came backat home not only with new ideas but withnew aims too.”

Christian Koppmeyer.

AFTERMATHTo Neil, William, Jon, and Duncan;

congratulations on a job well done. For all thetime and effort you put in to organise theconvention, you are all hereby promoted to 7-0’s!

“That was a great weekend. If theydo it again next year I sure will be there.”

Look for news about Intensive Fire ’96(tentatively scheduled for November 15th - 17th)in forthcoming issues of VFTT.

“Games without frontiers. Warwithout tears.”

Neil Stevens, quoting from PeterGabriel.

Intensive Fire ’95 was organised byNeil Stevens, Jon Williams, William Robertsand Duncan Spencer. They wish to expresstheir deepest gratitude to Ray Tapio andCritical Hit!; the authors of God Save theKing!; Time On Target’s Mark Neukom; andPhilippe “ASL News, Kampfgruppe Peiper,Support ASL in Europe” Leonard for thesupport they gave. They would also like toespecially thank Melissa Schaaf, “whotravelled all the way from the States to end uphelping us out by doing the odd jobs nobodyelse wanted to do!”

Fire Team kinda repeated their efforts,although David Schofield had had to stepinto Mike Rudd’s shoes during thetournament. Level with 12 points each at theend of the tournament in the First Division,the prize was awarded to the team of KeithBristow, Justin Key and Tim Macaire whohad beaten the team of Bob Eburn, RussellGough and Paul Kettlewell in the finalround!

��&'''��&'''��&'''��&'''��&'''The seventh IF saw the lowest

attendance, with just 37 players turning up.This year we also decided to start pickingrandom Fire Teams, to stop all the goodplayers getting together with each other!

This year we also decided to haveseveral mini tournaments running on Friday.Thankfully Shaun Carter, Iain Mckay andDerek Tocher volunteered (or werevolunteered!) to run them, thus easing thescenario selection burden.

Aaron Cleavin took the best playerprize back to New Zealand with him. He hadalso won the Aussie-themed mini-tournament on Friday rather appropriately.Paul Case managed to walk away with awinner prize for once, having won the desertmini-! Separating the Elite fire teams proveddifficult, as three ended the tournament withthe same number of points! Two of them hadeven beaten the same level of CrusaderLadder ratings in the process. As it was thosetwo teams have played each other in the finalround, with the team of Derek Tocher,

Dominic McGrath and Bill Hensby winning2-1 to claim the prize. In the other divisionthe team of Shaun Carter, John Kennedy andTim Macaire took away the prizes. Bill alsotook away the prize for worst performanceof the weekend, going 0-7!

On the Sunday night southernEngland was hit by the worse storms sincethe hurricane of 1987, leaving the railnetwork in chaos and me stuck for anothernight in the hotel. With no-one o play againstall I could do was drink beer in the eveningwhile an OAP party held a WW2-themneddisco downstairs!

Late in 2000, Toby Pilling hadproduced an article on the worst scenariosin ASL. In it he bemoaned the lack ofplaytesting in third party scenarios comparedto AH/MMP, while discussing the Heat OfBattle scenario ‘NQNG4 Noble Craft OfWarfare’. This led to a rebuttal a few monthslater from Steve Linton, who had helpedplaytest the scenario - he ended his replychallenging Toby to a game at IF01 as hewas coming over from Australia to attend.Unfortunately the eagerly anticipated grudgematch did not happen, for some mysteriousreason. With both due to be at IF04, maybethis time they can determine who was right!

“Great turn out, fantastic fun,great bunch of lads. Always remindsme of Norm of the Boston comedy onTV - ‘Cheers’, everybody knowsyour name and when you walk inyou get a great welcome.”

The winners of IF98.Late night action from the bar at IF98.

It had gone midnight when a group ofus were in the bar drinking and talking about“It’s A Knockout”. Somehow we talkedourselves into an “It’s A Knockout” scenario.Board 7, five players, each with a raft andhero trying to cross the rover and back towin. With a HS manning a LMG from eachplayer on the other side. Then we decidedthat it would be fun to try and sink the raftsso on getting back you had to find a FT andsink rafts. We added resurrection DRs, talkedabout DR for Jaws, Piranhas, Croc Dundee.It got a bit silly but we didn’t care. Don’texpect to see this scenario in the ASL Journalany time soon! We finished about 3, leavingMichael Hastrup-Leth and David Tye tofinish off their game of ‘SP84 VonBodenhausen’s Ride’. For the record the sillyones were Pete Phillipps, Iain ‘Mad Vet’Mackay, Patrick Dale, Ruarigh Dale and PaulCase.

It was my first-ever tournamentand I had a ball, 0-5 combat recordnotwithstanding. As well as thegaming, I liked the whole relaxedatmosphere of the place, the way thehotel looked after us, and the factthat we could spread ourselvesaround the hotel without disturbinganyone else or being disturbed bythem. And picking the weekend withthe extra hour on Saturday was astroke of genius. “Aaah’ll be baack”.

Graham Smith

Both divisions were close this year,but Ruarigh Dale, Steve Linton and SimonStrevens just sneaked a victory in the EliteDivision, while Steve Crowley, Shaun Carterand Brian Hooper did the same in the FirstDivision.

Awarding the best player was a bitmore problematic. Fermin Retamero hadmanaged to go 7-0 by Sunday morning, onlyto lose his final game by forgetting to usethe Bog rules in ‘J62 Lee’s Charge’, whichallowed his opponent’s Shermans to freelyroam the snow-covered battlefield. This leftnewcomer Michael Essex as the onlyunbeaten player, with a 5-0 record, thusgiving us a bit of a dilemma – is 7-1 better

than 5-0? Answers on the back of a postcardto the usual address please. Thankfully AndyAshton from Second Chance Games gave usa £25 voucher for Second Chance Games soNeil and me decided to let Fermin have themain prize and Michael the voucher.

��&''&��&''&��&''&��&''&��&''&For some reason I can’t think of much

that happened at IF02, except for the Heroesevent which Ben Jones ran on the Saturdaynight.

The only other thing that sticks in themind is that we had to adjudicate the finalgame between Russell Gough and DavidSchofield. The frustrating thing about it wasthat deciding the winner would determineboth the winning Elite fire team and the topplayer. In the end we decided that with bothplayers having a stack in melee, the gamewould be won by the player who won themelee. After several rounds of CC, Russellemerged victorious to allow him, PauloFerreira, and Luis Calcada to be the winningFire Team. The defeat meant that Scofey wasnow 6-1 over the weekend, allowing DerekTocher to be proclaimed top player with his5-0 record. The First Division was won byTim Bunce, Paul Kettlewell and GrahamSmith who managed to amass 24 out of apossible 27 points, the best score any teamhas managed so far.

��&'')��&'')��&'')��&'')��&'')Despite there being about two dozen

ASLers in attendance by Thursday eveningonly three games of ASL were recorded forthe day – mainly because everyone elseseemed to be at the bar! This may well havebeen the fault of one of the organisers forgetting people to report in at the CommandHQ, which was located by the bar – no prizesfor guessing whose idea that was :-) Not thatwe spent the whole day in the bar – we wentout to the pub in the evening for somethingto eat and drink!

While in the pub the Heroes event forthe weekend was designed. Between IraqAnd A Hard Place – The Search ForWeapons Of Mass Destruction was inspiredby countless desert movies and the situationin Iraq at the time and ended up with theGerman UNteam capturing Saddam Husseinwhile another UN team captured Osama Bin-Laden, only to lose him when the camel hewas strapped to ran away!

If you ain’t been to a Tourney, getoff your arse and get yourself to one.You do not need to be as good asToby (hell, I ain’t!), but what you do

need is a sense of humour (that isVITAL!!), and a willingness to learna bit of this game. Of course, beertokens help a lot, but if you do notdrink beer, that’s OK, I’ll drinkyours.Paul Case

In a more serious vein, DominicMcGrath, Bob Eburne and Derek Tochertook the Elite Division prize, while WilliamHanson, James Crosfield and Patrick Daletook home the First Division prize. And forthe first time ever, Toby Pilling was the IFchampion! Despite unbeaten performancesin the past, Toby has rarely played more thanhis three tournament games at IF and thusbeen muscled out by players who haveplayed a lot more games!

��*��*��*��*��*��The main thing that makes IF different

to most other ASL tournaments is the FireTeam structure. Neil’s original idea was touse it to encourage everyone to talk to eachother, because no-one really knew anyoneelse there. Even today, when many of usknow each other, we still use the same formatto encourage everyone talks to each other -it also helps the newbies feel part of thefamily, as they get treated just like anyoneelse who has been there for many years.

For me the hardest part of the lastcouple of IF has been making sure I am stillawake at 4 in the morning to sort out theSunday rounds! In fact putting this articletogether has made me remember how manyUK ASL tournaments have been a drunkenblur to me :-) Thank god for the reports inVFTT, Britain’s Premier ASL Journal!

Oh, and in case you were wonderingthe other members of The Intensive Few arePaul Case, Ian Daglish, Dominic McGrath,and Toby Pilling (assuming they all turn upthis year!).

Read 3.4 Defensive Fire Phase.Read 3.5 Advancing Fire Phase.Set up Scenario S1.Start scenario by moving Germans. The

first time you contemplate engaging in defensivefirst fire, defensive final fire, or advancing fire,read 3.2 Prep Fire Phase and Fire Attacks and3.2.1 Effects.

The first time you reach the Rout Phaseand have at least one broken unit, read 3.6 RoutPhase

When you reach the advance phase, read3.7 Advance Phase.

The first time you think you need to ad-vance into an enemy occupied hex, read 3.8 CloseCombat Phase.

When you reach the end of a player turn,read 3.9 Turn Record Chart.

When you reach the start of the first Ameri-can player turn, read 3.1 Rally Phase.

After you’ve played Scenario S1, you canread sections 4 and 5 on support weapons, expe-rience level rating, and unit distinctions. Then playScenario S2, where you can apply those final rules.The ASL Starter Kit rules are a subset of ASL rules.Everything you learn in the ASLSK, you can trans-fer to ASL.

Squad-level tactical combat presents anumber of challenges and contradictions you’llbecome comfortable with over time. Maneuver,concentration of fire, and dispersal of units areall important and at odds with each other. Youhave to concentrate units under a leader to gain amovement bonus that facilitates maneuver or togain a firing bonus to make concentrated fire moreeffective. Yet you need to disperse your units toavoid enemy fire from affecting multiple unitswith one attack. You want to move quickly tomaneuver, but you need to move slowly and care-fully (assault movement) to avoid FFNAM andFFMO modifiers when fired upon. Coping withall of these variables and more is what makes ASLso engaging to so many players.

Clarifications and UnofficalErrata

Despite the excellent job MMP did in pre-paring ASLSK#1, there are a few potential in-stances of confusion that arise from either omis-sion or form of presentation. References to ASLRBin these clarfications refer to sections in the ASLRule Book.

Counter Exhaustion (CX)CX is not defined in the glossary. CX

stands for Counter Exhaustion (ASLRB 4.51).A CX counter is removed at the next Move-

ment Phase of the unit’s player, not the opponent’sMovement Phase.

CX units do not add a DRM for moralechecks or pin task checks. ASLRB 4.51 makes itclear that CX units add one to labor tasks andattacks. Morale checks and Pin Task Checks arenot labor tasks or attacks.

Fire Group (FG) ModifiersFire groups are subject to the worst pen-

alty incurred by any unit in the fire group (seeASLRB 7.52). Therefore, if you have a fire groupwith one unit that is CX, then the entire fire groupis subjected to a +1 modifier when firing.

Leader Breaking and Pin TaskCheck (PTC)

The wording in Section 3.2.1 about per-forming a PTC for Good Order units when a leaderbreaks is ambiguous. Perform a PTC for only unitsthat are in Good Order after attack resolution (seeASLRB 7.8). Units that are broken after attackresolution do not perform a PTC if their leaderfailed his morale check.

Residual FirepowerIf you don’t read the illustrated examples,

you may not know which countersyou’re supposed to use to designateResidual Firepower. Use the countersthat look like the one pictured to theright.

Machine guns maintaining multiple Rateof Fire do not leave Residual Firepower (ASLRB8.23).

Residual Firepower left in a Location isreduced by an IFT column shift to the left for everypositive DRM in effect during the attack that cre-ated the Residual Firepower (ASLRB 8.26).

PinningIt’s easy to miss, but you should remove

Pin counters at the end of the Close Combat Phase.This is stated at the end of 3.8 Close CombatPhase.

Pinned leaders can’t rout with broken units(ASLRB 10.711).

A Brief HistoryAdvanced Squad Leader (ASL) is a board

wargame that simulates squad-level tactical com-bat during the Second World War. Its predeces-sor, Squad Leader, was released in the 1970s and,through expansion modules, gradually becomemore complex. ASL revamped the entire systemin the 1980s at the expense of creating a difficultto digest mega-compendium of rules. The size ofthe rules and the cost to get started with the sys-tem discouraged the uninitiated from trying ASL.

For years, there has been talk of providinga simplified version of ASL to make it easier fornew players to grasp the game. The original SquadLeader featured a programmed instruction sys-tem, whereby rules were presented in chunks re-quired to play a given scenario. You’d read somerules, play a scenario, read some more, play an-other, and so on until you’d mastered all of therules.

In 2004, Multi-Man Publishing (MMP)produced the Advanced Squad Leader Starter Kit(ASLSK) to make it easier for new players to mas-ter the game. The ASLSK is a proper subset ofASL. Each game will introduce additional rulesfrom the ASL system. Even though it doesn’t ex-plicitly use programmed instruction, each gamein the ASLSK series is, in a sense, a programmedinstruction unit. The ASLSK harkens back to thedays of Squad Leader, even sporting an afford-able $24.00 price tag.

Getting StartedThe first ASL Starter Kit contains 12 pages

of rules, but after you factor in the introduction,glossary, illustrated examples, and back cover, therules are more like 5 or 6 pages long. Still, theyare densely written and can turn off the novicewargamer. If you’re new to wargaming, don’t readthem all. Plan on playing Scenario S1 first andread only the rules you need to start playing it.Also, refer to the Section 2 glossary any time youencounter an abbreviation you do not recognize.Then read the additional rules you need as youplay the scenario. You can skip Section 4 entirelybecause no support weapons are used in ScenarioS1. Also, don’t use the rules in Section 5 becausethey aren’t critical for Scenario S1. You can usethem the second time you play the scenario or inother scenarios.

A Suggested Start OrderSkim Section 1 since the terrain modifiers

are listed on the quick reference chart. Instead,focus on the counter descriptions in 1.2 Counters.

Read 3.3 Movement Phase rules, includ-ing 3.31 Defensive First Fire.

��Zeke Crater

Pyro sleazeThe act of setting fire to key areas to deny

movement and rout paths. While deliberatelykindled fires cause control of the burning locationsto be forfeited to the non-kindling player (A26.16)kindling is still popular for channeling attacks.This infamous sleaze forced some new scenariosto carry the “kindling is NA” sleaze stopper SSR.

Disappearing tank sleazeThe act of using platoon movement even

with radio equipped AFVs in order to start, turn,and possibly even exit LOS before the enemy candeclare first fire. See D14.2, 2nd sentence andD2.17, 1st sentence. Now you see him, now youdon’t.

Backblast avoidance sleazeUsing opportunity fire to avoid backblast

penalties yet still AFPh fire that Bazooka from abuilding hex (C13.8).

Self inflicted wound sleazeThe act of deliberately intensive firing your

MA all the time trying to disable it and invokerecall. Used to rid yourself of crappy tanks in VPscenarios before your enemy can destroy them forpoints. Particularly sleazy players could evenargue that it’s legal to spike the MAs (A9.73).

Berserk truck sleazeThe various ways of using unarmed trucks

or empty carriers to annoy your opponent / denyrout paths after they have unloaded theirpassengers/guns, or trying to get them destroyedfor wreck TEM / hindrance. Unarmed truckscarrying a half squad or SMC are Known armedenemy units.

VCA change sleazeRotating a TCA or VCA by simply firing

your MG or, if all MG have already fired, yourMA. The extreme sleaze is to rotate by taking anAAMG shot with an AFV which has “AAMG:VCA only” like some of the STGs. This alonecan be reason enough to leave them CE.

Special ammo = 2 x To Hitsleaze

Using your AFV’s or gun’s special ammo(usually APCR / APDS C8.1) to get two to hitattempts. This sleaze is often used when the tohit needed is low and the special ammo’s depletionnumber (C8.9) is as low or lower.

Ammo shortage double shotsleaze

Taking two shots from the same location

at the same target. When under Ammo Shortagemandatory firegrouping does not apply. Given anegative DRM shot opportunity it typically paysthat a squad with a MG should fire just its inherentfirepower first and then fire the MG separately atthat same target on the same MF expenditure onlyif the moving unit is not effected. Saving the MGsthis way will extend their Ammo Shortaged life.See A7.55 (Mandatory FG applies to Good Orderunits/weapons) and the Index (a MG under AmmoShortage is not a Good Order weapon).

Unload the riders for 0 MPsleaze

D6.21 says in part “A Rider on a turretedAFV must Bail Out if the AFV changes its TCA.”Although this does entail a NMC Riders who havehigh morale or are easily rallied can besuccessfully unloaded with this sleaze. Drivingthe tank through an orchard without using a roadis another way to force riders to Bail Out for nocost.

CC double advance sleazeAdvancing into close combat with the

objective to win the ambush and perform ambushwithdrawal (A11.41) to gain one more hex ofmovement. Often used to exit a stack who can’tquite make it off board on that last turn to fulfillsome victory condition.

I’m still good order CC sleazeChoosing not to drop concealment when

the enemy advances in for CC on the last turn ofthe game, avoiding the possibility of Melee andloss of good order status. Often used by that lastHIP GO HS in the VC area.

Route phase attack sleazeSelf breaking a unit to use its rout to

actually progress further along the attack route ortoward a victory condition or exit destination.Somewhat nullified by errata which requires self-break to occur within LOS and Normal Range ofa KEU but still quite effective for units whichstand a very good chance of rallying before theirnext MPh.

Prep fire smoker’s sleazeSet up a kill stack in a building with an

AFV out of LOS behind the building in bypass.After the kill stack fires in Prep Fire the AFVsets off its smoke dispenser in Movement Phasebefore moving on, giving the kill stack smokecover during DF.

Unload PRC for cheap in VBMsleaze

Unload PRC “behind” an obstacle inBypass but without the MF to move into it. This

Working definition of sleaze: somethingthe ASL rules allow that feels or seems wrong.

Another definition of ASL sleaze:something your opponent thought of before youdid.

Disclaimer: ASL is a game. ASL is notreality. As a game ASL allows a few actions whichsome consider ahistorical, unrealistic, or “sleazy.”For each of the following “sleazes” there arepeople who will argue vehemently that the“sleaze” in question is a perfectly valid tactic witha sound basis in reality used repeatedly duringthe Second World War by many nationalities. Donot email me with such arguments. I am notendorsing or criticizing any of these “sleazes”.The Big Black Book of ASL Sleaze is forentertainment purposes only, not to encouragecheating.

The original Black Book of Sleaze waswritten by Jack Jones and posted to the ASLMLback on June 11, 1998. Jack’s revamped BlackBook of Sleaze appeared in the most excellentView From The Trenches 20 back in July 1998.

While I may not be a good ASL player Ican plagarize as well as the next man. Over thepast few years I have been adding sleaze thatappeared on the ASLML to Jack’s original,stealing from the best, if you will. It was onlyafter I secured Jack’s kind permission that Ipublished my updated Big Black Book of ASLSleaze.

VBM sleazeThe act of ending a vehicle’s movement

phase in VBM (usually staying in motion) toprevent the enemy units in that hex from firingout of the hex. Also called VBM freeze. A7.212says that if an enemy unit [EXC: unarmoredvehicles without PRC] is in the same Location asyou are, you cannot fire at any enemy unit not inyour Location. The VBM sleaze’s usual aim is toplace AFVs in bypass of defensive locations toprevent those locations from firing at units movingup behind the AFV. A vehicle ending its MPh inbypass also strips the concealment of any units inthat location (A12.42).

Skulking sleazeThe act of moving out of enemy LOS

during the MPh, often using assault movement,then advancing back into the original hex duringthe APh.

Crew control sleazeThe act of abandoning perfectly good

AFVs in order to use the crews to control victoryhexes and such. This infamous sleaze forced somenew scenarios to carry the “vehicular crews maynot voluntarily abandon their vehicles” sleazestopper SSR.

15��

will prevent DFF in the obstacle hex as well asget the PRC into the obstacle for free - withoutany MF, even if pinned. The unloaded (or Pinned)in bypass unit is placed in the obstacle after itsMPh is over

Control by tank sleazeDriving an AFV into a Victory Condition

hex to gain Control. While an AFV Controledlocation is only “temporarily” Controled (A26.12),if the location is devoid of armed enemy units, isnot a building, and is the only location in the hexthe AFV does Control the hex.

Car bomb sleazeThe act of moving an ammo vehicle or

Goliath near an enemy unit and then setting it offwith friendly fire. You must use OBA or AreaTarget Type to kill your own units.

Prisoner deployment sleazeTransfering prisoners from unit to unit

enabling the Guarding unit to freely deploy.Especially useful for Russians and others whocannot freely deploy.

Foregone support weaponsleaze

Refusing to use a machine gun (and riskMG malfunction) in an attack because the MGwill not move the attack to a higher IFT column.

It’s broken but I don’t caresleaze

Refusing to attempt repair of a MA toavoid possible MA disablement and Recall of theAFV.

Sit ‘n spin sleazeHaving a fully tracked AFV enter a wire

location and change covered arc repeatedly untilthe Bog check dice roll clears the wire (B26.53).

Double attack by WP sleazeGetting an additional NMC “attack”

against a position by placing WP smoke grenadesduring the MPh (also strips concealment).Normally followed up with advancing fire toprovide the double whammy.

Firing into melee sleazeFiring into a melee hoping to break the

other side without particularly caring whathappens to your own unit. Especially prone tobeing used by the Japanese and when one sidehas a morale advantage over the other.

Half squad recon sleazeMoving a half squad into a location

containing concealed enemy units to stripconcealment of at least one of those concealedunits (A12.15). This can be enhanced by markingseveral friendly units with opportunity fire in PFPhso as to fire at full strength at the soon-to-beunconcealed unit(s) in the AFPh.

Appendix A - Illegal sleaze-

wanna-be’sThese sleaze-wanna-be’s are illegal. While

sleaze is legal, these rules violations are not.

Halftrack gegen Tiger violationDriving a half track or weak MAed tracked

AFV into a hex with an enemy AFV and thenrolling for maximum allowed ESB once in thehex hoping to fail ESB and Immobilize in the hex,thereby disallowing the enemy AFV to fire outsideits hex. Illegal by Q&A: D2.6 In the last line, after“5”, add “(using a non-Depletable ammo typeavailable to the vehicle). A vehicle thus barredfrom remaining in an AFV’s hex may not attemptESB in that hex”. {93b}

CX ruse violationThe CX ruse of declaring CX and then

deliberately halting movement before expendingall bonus MFs, thereby avoiding the DFF thedefender was “holding” for use against theATTACKER in that final location. Illegal byQ&A: A8.11 If the DEFENDER declines to useDefensive First Fire versus a unit after it movesinto a certain hex and the ATTACKERsubsequently announces that he had finishedmoving that unit, can the DEFENDER thenchange his mind and use Defensive First Fire(before another unit has physically moved)? A.Yes. {89}

Shot while attempting escapeviolation

The act of abandoning prisoners thengunning them down to unburden one’s self of theprisoners without incurring No Quarter. Illegal byA20.52: ...an abandoned prisoner subsequentlyeliminated by the side that abandoned it causesthe No Quarter rule to take immediate effect.

Fire lane yatzeeDriving a BU fully armored AFV up and

down a firelane trying to get the MG tomalfunction thus nullifying the firelane. Illegalby Q&A: A9.223 Must a Fire Lane attack be rolledeven when the attack cannot get any result vs themoving enemy unit (e.g., a BU fully-armored AFVor an attack which receives too many positiveDRM)? A. No. {97}

The CX/TI switcherooGoing CX and then Searching on the last

MF to make the unit TI to remove the CX status.Illegal by Q&A: A4.51 Are all five of the listedconditions (in the penultimate sentence) forremoval of the CX counter (other than “if a unitbreaks”) only effective “in the next player turn”?A. Yes. {J1} [if you become TI while CX youwill only lose the CX status the next turn (unlessyou break before that)]

Appendix B - Non-rulerelated sleaze“If you don’t like it show me therule” sleaze

The act of deliberately breaking the rules,figuring some of it will get past your opponent.Most players consider this cheating. A few argue

that cheating is something done on the sly, likeloading your dice or moving counters whennobody is looking and thus this sleaze is notcheating. These sad folks should seek professionalhelp.

Mis-remembered SL rule sleazePerforming an action against the ASL rules

then attempting to cover up the violation by saying“I must be remembering an SL rule,” usually aftermaking a show of leafing through the ASL rulebook.

Distraction sleazeThe practice of using loud music, annoying

throat noises, tapping a pencil, nudie posters, pornplaying in the game room, too much free beer,gloating, berating, personal odor or flatulance,amorous leg humping dog, or physically assaultingyour opponent to throw him off his game.

Look the other way sleazeFailure to remind / inform an opponent

when he forgets a rule or DRM that would be tohis advantage (but a SAN must be announcedwhen either player notices).

What is the largest amount of IFTfirepower that can be applied from aSINGLE, NON-OVERSTACKEDLOCATION, by INFANTRY and any ½”SW they possess at a range of 2 hexes,without a TH roll, and what DRMs, if any,apply?

Since 5 SMC = 1HS (A5.5), and onelocation can contain 3 squads/equivalents +4 SMCs maximum (A5.1), then a singlelocation can contain 34 Heroes. Those 34Heroes can operate 34 .50 cal HMGs, eachworth 8FP with an IFT DRM of +1, offsetby the Heroic -1 DRM (A15.23). 34 x 8 =272FP, DRM 0. And no cowering. Golly.
