This time of year, it's a Bulge scenario, so we started J142 Penny Packets. Quite a meaty scenario. As the American defender, I've had to make some tough decisions, some of which are hopefully correct. And here come some more German reinforcements! Yikes! @multimanpublishing.bsky.social

I got extremely busy earlier this year, but I'm back playing ASL. Just finished a great Ponyri scenario - SaP3 For The Fatherland. A wall of tough terrain and a stout fortification made the German advance slow, but they eventually broke the back of the Russians. @multimanpublishing.bsky.social

Playing RPT206 Muscled Out Of Town. End of turn 1. One burning Sherman, 2 MA MALFs.

I’ve been crazy busy lately but finally got to play a game this morning. Great scenario, and a tight match.

On the train, preparing for my next game.

The DC Conscripts will hold their next ASL game day at 8am in Fairfax Virginia. All levels are welcome. PM me for details.

If you're in the Washington DC area, join the DC Conscripts for our next game day on 26 July in Fairfax VA. Send me a DM for details. @multimanpublishing.bsky.social

Had a great Advanced Squad Leader game playing this Lone Canuck scenario.

Human Wave 2025 has begun!

We're a month away from Human Wave 2025, an ASL tournament held in Fairfax VA on 11-13 July. I've been playing some of the scenarios and they are great! Hope you can join us. @multimanpublishing.bsky.social humanwaveconscripts.com

The DC Conscripts will hold the next ASL game day on 28 June in Fairfax VA. All levels welcome. PM me for details. @multimanpublishing.bsky.social

Finished my game of 233 Failure To Communicate. The Germans couldn't pass their morale checks (average roll was 8.7), and the French held onto the last building for the victory. @multimanpublishing.bsky.social

Our DC Conscripts game day on Saturday started with a scenario analysis to help a newer player develop a strategy for a scenario that he chose. On the other table, a Sword and Fire scenario raged. Join us next month for our next ASL game day in northern Virginia. @multimanpublishing.bsky.social

The DC Conscripts will be holding our monthly ASL game day at 0800, Saturday, 17 May in Fairfax Virginia. Several games are already lined up. All levels are welcome. PM me for details.

We finished our long-running game of OS2 The Wolf's Howl last night. This was a larger scenario from Bounding Fire's Objective Schmidt, recreating battles in the Hurtgen Forest in November 1944. Both sides had OBA, and the Germans learned to respect the American artillery.

Today’s scenario looks like a fun early war matchup.

Fierce battle for the village during turn 4 of 233 Failure To Communicate. Stout French defenders have been slowing the German advance but they won't be able to hold out much longer.

I printed a tray to hold my BattleSchool ASL dice in an empty cigar box.

Getting near the end of our long-running game of OS2. Big strategy tip: pay attention to where OBA is and don't run into it, especially 150mm OBA. ☠️

Playing VASL tonight on the big screen.

Getting ready to play my first Mannerheim Cross scenario this weekend.

The DC Conscripts will be hosting our annual tournament in Fairfax Virginia on 11-13 July. We had a good turnout and a great time last year, so please join us again this year. humanwaveconscripts.com

Trying my first Forgotten War scenario today.

Playing Grebbe End tonight. So far, a fun little scenario.

Winter hiking in Virginia.

The DC Conscripts will be having games days on the 15th and the 29th of March in northern Virginia. All levels are welcome. Send me a PM for details or to be added to our email list.

Great game today playing this fun scenario. I felt sorry for my opponent, who kept breaking all his weapons.

Finally got a chance to play an Arnhem scenario which, surprisingly, had a hill. Even with flamethrower tanks, it was a tough challenge for the Germans, but nevertheless a fun game.

Continuing our long-running play of OS2. Germans are losing a lot of armor but are pushing hard into the village - just in time for ferocious OBA to start finding them.

To store my ASL dice, I designed and printed the grey trays, which will fit in an extra Raaco box like the A75 and A78 trays.

Played an oldie but goodie today.

The DC Conscripts will be having game days every Saturday in February in the Washington DC area. Our main game day will be the 22nd but we will have other opportunities to play. All levels are welcome. If you'd like to join us, send me a PM. Also check out our website at dc-conscripts.org

A few more photos from Winter Offensive 2025.

And so it begins.

Heading out to Winter Offensive in a few minutes.

Back to our Objective Schmidt scenario last night. I love the JagdPanthers but I do wish they had more HE.

Playtested a fun scenario last night. Tough decisions on both sides, and should have good replayability.

Playing some PTO today.

I'm having fun assembling one of my Christmas presents.

The next ASL game day for the DC Conscripts will be Saturday, 11 January 2025, in Fairfax VA. If you'd like to join us, send me a PM and I'll provide details. We also have an email list that I can add you to. After that, I'm looking forward to Winter Offensive.

While I wait for the grandkids to arrive, I’m going punch and clip the solitaire counters. I’m hoping to try this out while I’m on leave over the holidays.

Played a great late-war scenario today. Who doesn't enjoy tanks with flamethrowers? Well, my opponent didn't enjoy them when they were aimed at him.

Had a great visit to The Imperial War Museum today.

Another great museum day today, this time at the Churchill War Rooms.

Had an awesome visit to The Tank Museum in Bovington today. It was great to see the tanks in person, and the museum has done a fantastic job with the displays.

The DC Conscripts will be holding their next game day on 21 December in Fairfax VA. We play ASL, and all levels are welcome. If you'd like to join us, send me a PM for details.

My friend is starting to store his counters in Raaco, so I've been printing counter trays for him. Even when I'm not actually playing, there is something to do.

Setting up as the Swedes in AP155 Katyusha Variations. I've never faced 200mm+ rocket OBA before, and I'm not looking forward to it.

Getting ready for tomorrow’s PTO match, set in New Guinea
