I had a couple of games of Retro on my ASL Deluxe maps so I thought I'd put it on the blog.
I played DASL Scenario1 Guryev's Headquarters, here are some pics...
The hexes are about two inches across the flats so there is plenty of room for both counters and my clumsy fingers.
In this game the Germans could not get across this road but after heavy losses managed a wide outflanking move to bring them close to the objective.
After thinking the attacking Germans had no chance a couple of outrageous Close Combat/Melee results ensued.
The German squad takes out a whole platoon of Soviet Guards!!.
The last turn of the game sees the battle for the HQ building and once again the game comes down to the very last dice roll.
The Germans are not so lucky this time and the Russians hang on for the win, just!.
Another day, another brilliant game.
Love seeing the ASL counters and board art. I have only ever played ASL:SK, and it wasn't that long ago, but there's still something nostalgic about the aesthetic! I recall you used to play Company Commander quite a bit. I've been thinking about picking up Great War Commander to scratch my hex-and-counter itch.
ReplyDeleteCheers John, it was your blogposts that set me on the ASL path. I owe you a lot.
DeleteGreat War Commander looks very good, although personally I went off the card driven Combat Commander system where you are unable to act without the necessary card in your hand.
Thanks again John, it's always nice to hear from you.
