Basic Training Issue One Unboxing

It’s finally here. Basic Training Issue One has been a long time coming. I remember the call for articles going out close to 5 years ago. We submitted an article for it in the summer of 2020. For years, I’d completely forgotten about it, then I was sent a PDF to proofread the magazine, so I knew it was finally coming out. But it’s finally done, and shipping (see order link below).

The magazine is catered to new and existing ASL Starter Kit players, and includes a mix of articles to appeal to the entire spectrum of SK players. It also includes 12 new scenarios. Let’s hope there are more issues in the future, but that’s dependent on SK players being proactive and submitting content to MMP so future magazines can be put together.
