The Texas-ASL tournament starts tomorrow through Sunday. I'll snap some pictures and post a few of them here.  Almost 70 people have signed up so it looks to be another large turn-out.

S&T #61: October War. There was a set available for a tenner at BGG marketplace, too good to pass. A mere tenner, you ask? Yes, as it was missing the magazine. I was able to get my hands on a PDF copy though, and printed a booklet out of it at the office.



First, I thought it was missing just a single BMD counter, but even that was there, hiding under the mag printout, the sneaky b*st*rd

Plexiglass to cover the map?

Here's a few pics from the 24th Annual Texas ASL Tournament.




The tournament occupies two conference rooms this year.  This is the view from the back of one of them.




"3D" ASL.  He had a collection of these that he made and brought along.





Somebody' "ASL Kit".  A trunk on wheels with several counter trays/RAACO's and storage for the maps in the drawers.  It just needs a small engine so that it can be self-propelled next year.





This is in the other conference room - Team ASL...Omaha Beach.  You very well may need a full bobbin of thread in order to check LOS from one end to the other.





"DASL" (Deluxe ASL)





This years trophies and awards (to be handed out Sunday)





And on my table tonight was a little 4-player ASL scenario.  Me and another veteran player helping a new (returning) ASL player and a player that has only previously played a few SK scenarios solitaire.  By turn 3 he was running and gunning a couple of T-34/85's that we had.  Of course he had a little bit of a learning experience as well when he left one of the said '34's in the LOS of a 9-2 armor leader equipped Panther that was on overwatch on a distant hill.  Learned a lesson myself - always keep track of where you last saw that 'shrek and don't let it sneak up on your AFV's.  Burning wreck on that one.


Back at it at 0800 tomorrow.  I won't bore you guys with more pics unless it's something totally unique that you all might enjoy.  My competitive play begins tomorrow - wish me luck!

Looks like fun!


I wanted to buy (and paint) minis for use with my C&C Ancients collection. 

Then again, there are at least a couple other games that also call for some.  My wishlist grows, it never shrinks.

In fact I noticed I was making mortar/artillery sounds a lot more than usually.

ASL game day yesterday (no pics but the King Tiger charging over a stone wall into a graveyard to attempt an overrun was classic).  A weekend late, but I started a Gettysburg campaign.  This is using The Gamers CWBS (Thunder at the Crossroads II) with Rick Barber's "Summer Storm" maps.  Beautiful rendition of the battlefield I think.  I'm playing the hypothetical full-campaign scenario that has Stonewall Jackson alive and present with his Corps.  Should be interesting.  As per usual, sorry for the crappy phone pic.

Wish I had the patience to paint up my C&C: TGW pieces. They sure look nice on the board!

Even without reading GJK's comment, I could totally tell that it was a Rick Barber map.  I've been around wargaming waaaaaaay too long.
