ASL AAR: The Sangshak Redemption (J150)
In March 1944 the Imperial Japanese Army invaded India from neighboring Burma. The small village of Sangshak was a northwest crossroad that led to the more significant target of Imphal only miles to the southwest, where Commonwealth forces had established defenses and supplies.
ASL AAR: A Quick Strike (WO18)
Back to the steamy jungles of the PTO … and A Quick Strike is a good one. It’s amazing how the ASL Pacific Theater terrain tweaks and Japanese nationality can give such a complex game system a completely different feel.

Yanks On Pre-order
Multi-Man Publishing has put Yanks up for preorder. This printing is essentially identical to the 2016 printing, so it is basically a straight re-print. If you don’t have a copy of the update Yanks I highly recommend that you preorder a copy as it likely won’t be available again for 5-10 years once this reprint actually begins to ship (likely a year from now).
ASL AAR: In Deadly Combat (J187)
John and I played Journal 12’s J187 In Deadly Combat from the deadly designers Mazzei & Struiff. This one has a horde of Russians with T-28s attacking the poor Germans defending a village in December 1941
