SASL Campaign. Mission- Cautious Advance. June ’41. 1.1

After the first two turns, I felt like I was in a good spot. My company was split into two groups. The first was to move on board and secure the first VPO location. The second was to move up the middle, take the multi-level building in the center of the map and turn right … Continue reading SASL Campaign. Mission- Cautious Advance. June ’41. 1.1

Hatten in Flames CG1: 9 & 10 Jan, 1945

      Like virtually everyone else who plays Advanced Squad Leader, I pre-ordered Hatten in Flames when the opportunity arose.  When I had it my grubby hands, I was astonished.  Two campaigns, a single beautiful map, and one double sided page of rules.  No new terrain and no new unit types.  Just down and … Continue reading Hatten in Flames CG1: 9 & 10 Jan, 1945

Festung Budapest CGIII: City of Eternal Heroes. To the End

  Mike and I sat down to slug it out in the streets of Budapest for day 2 of our CG.  As recounted in my last blog entry on this CG, I had made fairly solid progress in the north (the Russian right) against some less than eager Hungarian troops, and while they put up … Continue reading Festung Budapest.

Festung Budapest. CGIII City of Eternal Heroes: 2 Feb, 1945

    After a preliminary scenario to get the feel of Festung Budapest, and for Mike to get the ASL feel back, we embarked upon Campaign Game III: City of Eternal Heroes. The Russian juggernaut in 1945 rolled into Buda and Pest to finish the Hungarian and German forces holding the city.  Our campaign takes … Continue reading Festung Budapest.

Festung Budapest CG III and Valor of the Guards CG IV. I like BIG ASL.

             It's no secret to the people I play regularly that if I can choose, I would rather play big ASL. By which I mean big, meaty scenarios, lots of units and lots of stuff going on, perhaps not completable in a single day.  These kind of games have a different feel … Continue reading Festung Budapest CG III and Valor of the Guards CG IV.
