Tag: ASL Boot Camp

In the 10th Boot Camp I show you the four important points of routing and go through some examples using German and Russian units. I cover rout principles and what you can do with your units after their morale breaks.

In the 9th Boot Camp I re-iterate the Defensive Fire Principles outlined in Boot Camp #8 showing more movement and fire examples.

In the 8th Boot Camp I go through all four types of defensive fire, and how the mechanics of simultaneous movement and fire works in ASL. Just to re-enforce how defensive fire works, I will be doing another video of a short skirmish between moving and defending units.

This 7th Boot Camp covers infantry fire mechanics, how to add up and manage firepower, how to calculate die roll modifiers (DRMs), how to use the Infantry Fire Table (IFT), and how to interpret results on that table.

This sixth Boot Camp summarizes (nearly) all the ASL terrain listed in chapter B, showing high level characteristics of each terrain as well as photos representative of the terrain seen during World War 2.

This fifth Boot Camp covers basic line of sight (LOS) mechanics, the difference between obstacles and hindrances, and sprinkles in a little terrain effect modifier information. At the end I show how I attempt to visualize LOS during play.

I discuss the mechanics of bypass movement, LOS implications, and...

ASL Boot Camp by: Neal Ulen This second Advanced Squad Leader Boot Camp focuses primarily on the characteristics and capabilities of single man counters (SMC), multi-man counters (squads, MMC), and machine gun support weapons. I do this in prelude of diving into movement and fire principles.

This is the first Exercise (yet not really an exercise) simply presenting ASL at a high level for new (and future!) players, Starter Kit players, and veteran players.
