I wish I had the time to clip counters these days.  I'm just hoping I can make the ASL tourney in Kansas City later this spring.

I'm going to hit the Texas ASL tournament this year.  I was signed up for it last year but events came up that weekend and I couldn't participate.

The Canadian ASL Open is here in Ottawa this year. Am working when it's scheduled so won't be attending. I had the chance to playtest one of the scenarios for the tournament and thought it was great fun.

I probably would have booked off if I wasn't working the night shift (I have a tough time switching from nights to days). Honestly though, the fast paced (two matches a day) competitive play does not appeal to me that much.

My second ASL session coming up tonight! Excited!

It was grand again!
Now beginning to get a grasp of how infantry works. :)
We have had some good firefights, Causing units to ELR.

What scenario(s) did you guys play?

One (of the many) things that I've yet to do in ASL is play a campaign game.  My dream is to get involved in a long, multiday/week campaign of Red Barricades.  I get brain-drain just thinking about it.

Just the second part of S1 .
We started last week and continued it yesterday in a sort of programmed training fashion. Very nice and great fun!

Here's a good article on the Vierville (S1) scenario that should be of interest to you:

Since last time I have now found two (!) face to face opponents living just a mile away.
We had a session planned for tomorrow night, but work got in the way so we moved it to next week.

I have a solid grip on SK Infantry rules now. Special Weapons are pretty normal to play too, but I haven't played any guns or vehicles yet.

My collection now consists of SK1, 3 and Decision at Elst. Beyond Valor and the 2nd Ed. Rulebook. Just a few days ago I found a mint copy of Valor of the Guards for a decent price, so I guess my jump into full ASL has been secured once I am ready.

Still trying to find a copy of SK2, SK Exp 1 and SK Bonus pack. But I believe SK2 is due for a reprint this year.

Totally in love with ASL thanks to GJK's pointers to get me started!
Pat Ireland has been a great help as well. We try to meet weekly for ASLSK instruction.

Welcome to the dark side.   >:D

I had taken a break from ASL for a good bit but had fun at the annual Texas Tournament a couple of weeks ago and I'm set to attend ASL Game day with the Central Texas group this weekend. 

Patrick Ireland is the man when it comes to teaching the world how to play ASL.  Great guy.

Valor of the Guards is simply awesome.

A round of the campaign game is high on my bucket list.

I have every intention of progressing towards full ASL, but Pat keeps his feet squarely on the brake.
We will first run through ASLSK and then 'graduate'  to full ASL later on.
I did take a look at the training chapter in the rulebook, but it mentions Paratrooper -a module I do not own-.
Perhaps the needed counters are also found inside one of the SK boxes? Haven't checked yet.

I think that I may already have pdf's of the scenarios for Paratrooper but if not I could scan them.  You could at least play it via VASL.  You may have all the units that it would take to play the scenarios but you wouldn't have board 24 that it came with if you were wanting to set it up on your table. 

By the way, here's some very well done powerpoint presentations for full ASL instruction in 12 lessons:

Thanks!
I think you have mentioned them before, but I forgot.
Thanks for the pointer again.  O0

Just received a new ASL SK 2 box! They had been unavailable for the longest time.

Operation Counter Storage is progressing slowly. Clipping them all is becoming a life's work. But I do find it rather Zen! ;)

One of the reasons I started doing it is it's a nice break from the digital world and being summertime now, I can sit out on the porch with my radio and cup of coffee and relax while clipping.
