Simply put, ASL is an abstraction, not a simulation. ToTH is the closest that the ASL rules have been translated to computer code, but is not complete. The makers of ASL wanted a game that gave you the feel of being at squad level without the tedious accounting of single men, rounds, grenades, who's...

I am glad that you are getting better. Welcome back!

Hi Rico,

I know that Heroes of Stalingrad has an editor, but it's not in the new LNLTD that came out this year. I am only stating what the developer has said is that an editor/ scenario generator is in the works.

<t> I feel the whole STUN mechanic is broke in the game. I can't take a tank, let alone a halftrack anywhere unbuttoned, and hope to actually use it. Never in tabletop ASL do I get so many STUNs. If this is following ASL rules, one fire attack should not be able to STUN, only stun. <br/> <br/> I hav...

<t> Just as in ASL, you may fire a squad on its own, or with a support weapon, or just the support weapon. A crew or half-squad can only fire on its own, or the support weapon. So, if you are talking about looking at the enemy, the size of the unit may be a factor in why you are seeing differences. ...

<r> From the manual:<br/> <br/> First Fire:<br/> A personnel unit that is not marked First/Final marker fires at full potential. Personnel units (Squad/HS/Crew) once they fire are marked with First Fire marker. If a weapon that has ROF fires and maintains ROF, it can fire again. A weapon that loses ...

<t> The trick to this game is to get your opponent(AI or human) to take bad shots to open up maneuver opportunities for your other units. I find that in most situations, the AI will take the first shot that presents itself and will continue until it has run out of shots, or the unit is broken/elimin...

<t> I agree with everything wholeheartedly. Adding passengers would greatly expand on this great game.<br/> <br/> I can live without crews that bailed out. It's another layer of complexity that can be filtered out.<br/> <br/> In regards to a circumstance where a crew came back to their vehicle, I am...

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

Now get out there and shoot some pixels! Or, melee some pixels, or rally, or repair. Do what you want. Have fun!

<t> In the scenario as posted, I only have the AI controlled units set to defend the hex with the AI special command defend.<br/> <br/> I just adjusted the scenario locally to have more units set to defend the hex, namely the top leader. He did not set up in the hex, and it only led to him getting c...

<t> I am certainly glad that those that played it have liked it. It took awhile to get the NK set up so that they would primarily defend 16,24, the 20 point hex. In first couple iterations, they would set up way in the back and leave 16,24 wide open. I truly dislike forcing pieces to specific hexes....

<t> Seoul Brothers<br/> <br/> Gun Duel 2001 GD6<br/> <br/> Seoul, S. Korea, 26 September 1950: <br/> Days earlier the 1st Marine Division combined 2 of the most difficult military operations, an amphibious<br/> landing and urban warfare, in theri successful assault landing at the city of Inchon on K...

<r> My gosh, Rico is industrious. It's hard to keep up just playing them all, let alone trying to keep up with new scenarios to post. <br/> <br/> I have converted one I found that I liked. In anticipation of MMP's release of their Korean war module, this one takes place in Seoul, SK. <br/> <br/> It'...

<t> Thank you for the kind words, Rico.<br/> <br/> In answer to your first question, I don't find much advantage to a hill in TotH. It should give the same TEM as a woods hex (+1) if LOS crosses a crest line. In ASL, the big advantage is being able to go hull down for tanks. This mechanic is not pre...

<t> If ToTH follows the ASL model, there is usually about a 1 in 4 chance of apcr, and about 50-50 for he and heat. Once a roll results in no special ammo, it's lost to that unit for the rest of the battle. These numbers are vehicle specific and may vary. RNG may grace you with 3 apcr shots in a gam...

<t> If TOTH follows ASL's example, most MG's and ordinance have about a 3% chance(rolling 12 on 2die6) to malfunction per firing. Some MG's and ordinance may have an approximate 8%(11 or 12 on 2d6) or 17%(10, 11 or 12 on 2d6) chance to malfunction. Though it feels like it happens more often than tha...

I am glad to hear that the Italians and the French are being added. Since that is happening, can the British get some love? I would love to see some Matildas, Cruisers and a few other early war vehicles.

The mods are for the skins only. They only give the look of SL or ASL. Game play cannot be modded. Just the skins for the units. Maps can be made.

<r> Yeah, it choked on the size of the original file. Then the next thing I knew, I had posted with no attachment.<SM sm="00000055.gif">[sm=00000055.gif]</SM><br/> <br/> <br/> But anyhows, here is Rico's collection, consolidated to a single zip file.<br/> <br/> Thanks for playing!<br/> <br/> </r>
