I am more fired up for ASL than ever - if I can only find time to play (June - August is my busiest time at work...)! It was great fun to pull out the map, scenario sheet, and charts and follow along. I can't wait to listen to Raff's Dilemma again now that I received the Normandy Action Pack for Father's Day. More SK playthroughs for us newbies. I hope to set S23 up solo this week and see how differently it plays without the benefit of HIP setup. I am sure that changes things a great deal, but I want to try a solo run before venturing out to VASL to try it for real (no local ftf opponents). As a newbie, I was pleased to identify the firing lanes offered by the hilltop orchard in E8, although I must admit I would have been reluctant to place a gun there since I thought it lacked a terrain modifier. I have since realized it would have benefitted from the +1 height advantage. Since this was the first time I had been able to pull out the gear and follow along, I was amazed to be able to pick up ideas and rules here and there as it went along. I did have to pause the .mp3 player at times in order to look. You guys can talk quickly when you are excited. Thanks again for another great show. Great show guys!
