ASL Tactical Tip #9 – METT-TC: Applying Military Doctrine to ASL
Applying modern military doctrine (METT-TC) to help you develop a plan of attack/defense once you've picked an Advanced Squad Leader scenario to play.
ASL Tactical Tip #8 – Special Ammo Hack
Use the special ammo and ammo depletion rules (ASL: C8/C8.6, ASLSK: 6.2) to possibly get an extra shot in those critical situations when you really need another opportunity to get a hit versus a target.
ASL Tactical Tip #7 – Bore Sighting
Bore Sighting is an oft forgotten rule (too late after the scenario has started!) available to the Scenario Defender. The definition of "Scenario Defender" is critical to understand when Bore Sighting can be used. This rule is not available to ASL Starter Kit players.
ASL Tactical Tip #6 – Assault Fire
This ASL Tactical Tip is to remind both ASL and ASLSK players to use their unit's Assault Fire capability if they possess it!! Especially when squads possessing 5 FP and Assault Fire are in play. It's a very powerful, but simple, mechanic that can help attacking (assaulting) units quite a bit!!

I explain the differences for new players and give a few examples how to interpret the "Open Ground" mechanic and benefit from it during Concealment, Rout, and Interdiction circumstances.
ASL Tactical Tip #4 – Platoon Leader?!
In this Friday Tactical Tip I go over the historical platoon structure and formations used by the United States Army in WW2 and talk to how the system revolves around the tactics of the platoon formation because of the squad unit's inability to create tactics and formations.
ASL Tactical Tip #3 – Multiple Hits
Small caliber ordinance (and some larger ones) have the capability to get two To Kill DRs in certain circumstances. A powerful rule when it happens with high ROF Guns.
