Then let's do it, I've seen so many "Let's do a forum <x> game" which then don't actually go ahead!

IncredibleIgloo posted:Does anyone know a good YouTube channel for ASL? I am learning from this Polish guy with a good set up, but I want to see a game played at high complexity end of the system. I don't actively play ASL but I have an interest in it, and have been watching some videos by a channel called Advanced Squad Leader Academy lately. Seems fine?

I’d love to read along a EotS thread. It’s a game I’ve never gotten to the table, and I’d like to see it played in small, digestible chunks. On another note, Triumph and Tragedy just charged for p500! If it ships in time, I might be able to get it to the table over the holidays.

I'm down for EotS as a staff officer. I live in the EST and afternoons are best for me. Question: If we disagree with another member of the staff are we allowed to assassinate them?

So, i'm willing to moderate the game or play as the Allies. We'll need someone who's knowledgable in the rules(probably me or Tekopo) to take the moderator and Allied roles. If we end up in a situation where the Japanese end up in a passive role, we can always switch the sides if need be. The moderator would be there to give advice and do the Vassal module stuff. A few other options: 1941 or 1942 start? The 1941 start consists of a largely solitaire set of Japanese moves that form the initial invasions, it can be much more optimized than how the 1942 start does but, perhaps it wouldn't be so bad to give the IJN/IJA staff a bit of a boost given their lack of game knowledge. Historical Hand or no? The second turn(first third of 1942) in the historical hand setup has three powerful military events to help the Japanese launch large scale invasions in the opening phase of the game. There are still four additional random events to go with it.

Historical Hand seems to be the default as per Herman now. Can also do the moderator role if required to make it so that you/Tek can concentrate on being the evil American Imperialists.

I'm currently trying to learn MBT and I was wondering if there's a guide out there for how I should progress through adding the advanced rules to the game as I play more games. For instance, one of the first things I think I'd want to add is the full AP weapon rules, and at some point I'd want to add GP weapons and infantry. But there are a lot of rules and I don't yet have the experience to know which other ones I'd want to add and in which order, and which sections in the rulebook cover them.

i only got into this thing maybe 6 7 years ago? so in a lot of ways i am spoilt in terms of choice and modern designs. it was seriously pretty sobering to look up wargame stuff outside of SA. i mean like sometimes you create an edge case and so you end up on Consimworld or BGG chasing an answer then do the  as you decide whether or not to necro a 6 year old thread to either ask a new question or flame the gently caress out of everyone in it

Beware the factions with the lowest VP requirement. The League only needs to operate in a few spaces, and may get lucky with the cards to establish states there at no expense. The Revolutionaries can blow poo poo up and immediately go back underground.

I've only played Fire in the Lake before and it's been a few years. The way the Revolutionaries are described sounds like the VC in Fire--do all the COIN games have 4 similar faction roles like that? I blinked my eyes and there's apparently almost a dozen COIN games with a non historic sci-fi one in the works.

The answer is yes and no. Ghandi especially doesn't really have the same roles as FiTL because it doesn't have two distinct sides. The basis of the game was Andean Abyss, which set the framework for the four standard sides: Government, Revolutionaries (in AA's case, FARC), Counter-Insurgents (AUC) and a money faction of some kind (the cartels). Although a lot of games use that framework, many have shifted/modified it for their own conflict.
