Thanks for swinging by, @buggeroff – do you still have that Team Yankee army? You might have to teach @brucelea and his VVS Soviets a lesson one of these days. 😀
Actually yes, @grimwolfuk – someone sent me a .pdf of Fistful of TOWs. Definitely an in-depth rule set, and richly detailed.
Awesome Leopard, @bloodstrike – right, I forgot this was the newer A5s, one of the variants with new moduklar “arrowhead” armor fittings. Damn, at 28mm this thing is gonna be a BEAST!! I swear I put my 15mm Leopard 2s for Team Yankee on the table and they almost look like 1:72 models. Thanks very much for swinging by the stream and sticking with us the whole way. 😀 That was a helluva game.
@gladesrunner – just the good ones. (Awww, just kidding) 😀 😀 😀
@suetoniuspaullinus – well, if that matt varnish works for you, I’ll give it a shot. Sometimes my Vallejo washes come out very shiny. I have Vallejo matt but sometimes it clouds up (might be a humidity thing).
And on man! Dien Bien Phu! I hope you don’t start making Viet Minh for this battle, you’ll be at it for years! 😀
Hey, if you’re a fan of ASL but a little hung up on the rules or can’t find people who are interested, I seriously suggest Barry S. Doyle’s Valor & Victory.
This guys was a huge ASL fan back in the day, and came up with his own game that tries to capture the spirit of ASL, but is much easier to get into.
The game is free, print and play, available here.
Download some documents, print some maps, cut a few dozen counters, and you could be playing later that same day.
It’s actually a great little system, perhaps best characterized as “ASL-lite.”
