The ASL Mailing List is devoted to discussion of Advanced Squad Leader, and. FT S4 Dilemma at Ma Po Boulevard After Action Report (AAR) Advanced Squad Leader scenario Scenario Backgroundhung-over. Most scenarios give each player, generally speaking, enough simulated men to make up a company, though order of battle is not precise and most scenarios only give a flavour of what the. The squad leaders in Squad Leader are actually 'factored in' to the squad counters, and only exceptional leaders are portrayed separately, by their own counter.The North Koreans can stop the game when they kill or immobilise two out of three AFVs. This is followed by 10+ squads, a M26A1 Pershing, a M4A3 Tank Dozer and a POA-CWS-H5 Flamethrower tank that I was last playing with in Okinawa scenarios!The Americans have 7.5 turns to take one Roadblock and exit 12 VP (4 squads) or take two Roadblocks and exit 9 VP (3 squads) or take three Roadblocks. They have an ATR, 6 Minefield factors and 2 Fortified Locations.Against this the Marines have a forward team of 3 squad equivalents (one being an Assault Engineer with a Smoke Factor of 5). There are 15 NK squad equivalents of various descriptions, managed by 2 commissars and 2 other leaders. The North Korean player gets a choice between a second 45LL AT Gun or a 76L ART.
The tankdozer has a blade that adds a +2 on a Hull Hit. The NK’s can also stop an USMC victory by taking out 19 CVP, which in this case is 6 squads + 1 fire team.Having said all that, the BBQ tank doesn’t have to stop moving. The confining terrain in this scenario definitely doesn’t make it tank country. The AFVs rolled down the road but the higher level Burning Wreck that’s there on setup made it a little hazardous to roll up in front of a ROF3 AT gun. The E Company came up from behind and a bit more than half went for the right of the map. After Action ReportFrom the left of the map, F Company immediately started to setup their MMG and got their fire teams to probe NK concealments. The left side met some initial set backs but were able make better progress. The BBQ tank and the tank dozer lend their support on the left and found they could safely sneak shots into the boulevard. A large number of broken fireteams routed towards the rear. By Turn 4 it’s evident that the NK’s were very effective there. I thought the right of the map would be a more straightforward travel but it’s confining nature made it easier for the NK defenders and didn’t facilitate armour support. Motorbad til salgUnderstanding this section of the flowchart is key to placing and converting a SR effectively. Continue reading →For this article I have excerpted a section of the OBA flowchart I will be referring to throughout the article. The strategy was to try to flank the NK’s down both sides while putting AFV fire to defenders down along the boulevard. There are a couple of crucial conditions which must be met before a SR can be successfully converted to a FFE.We will first consider bubble A. You are now ready to convert it to a FFE.It is not enough to simply announce your intention to convert a SR as some players presume. Also recall the errata posted in Journal 11 changing AR to SR in bubble B.For our purposes, we will assume you have successfully navigated the flowchart to the point where you maintained Radio Contact, announced your intention to convert, rolled for accuracy, and corrected the SR if needed. To make ourDiscussion clearer I have labeled two of the bubbles, one called A and one called B. Because the blast of an SR is visible two levels above the Base Level of a hex, it is possible for an Observer to see a SR in an otherwise Blind Hex. The Observer has an LOS to the Blast Height of the SR (C1.32) AND a Known Enemy Unit in or adjacent to the SR’s hex. Normal LOS rules apply (Blind hexes, LOS Obstacles, LOS Hindrances, etc). The Observer has an LOS to the Base Level of the SR hex. If the answer is yes, we must ask a second question: are all of them Unknown to the Observer. If the answer is no, the SR is converted and resolved using the “No” path. Again, we have to ask if there are enemy units in or adjacent to the SR hex. Here we will be following the paths from bubble B. If the draw is instead Red, the card is again shuffled back into the deck and follow the “Red” path resulting in Access Lost and removal of the SR.Keep in mind the special case of Harassing Fire. If the xdraw is black, the card is shuffled back into the draw pile and we follow the “Black” path converting the SR into a FFE. All enemy units in or adjacent to the SR hex are unknown to the Observer) then an extra chit draw must be made from the existing OBA pile. If the answer is yes (i.e. At least one of the units is known to the observer) then the SR converts to a FFE using the “No” path. Knowing the flowchart is essential to effectively attacking with OBA.Examples: For this section please refer to the illustration. An enemy skulking in a woods line can be mauled pretty badly with Harassing Fire even If it drifts to a hex where you have LOS to the BaseLevel of the SR’s hex and there are only unknown enemy units in or adjacent to the SR’sHex you could be forcing an extra chit draw. Be careful where you place your SR. Knowing the flowchart is essential to effectively defending against OBA If you can force an extra chit draw it is possible you can negate the mission and makeHim start over again with a new card draw.

Three SRs are on the labeled SR — A, SR — B, and SR — C. If the draw is a black chit we follow the “Black” path and convert the SR to an FFE and resolve the attack. We would flow from bubble B via the “Yes” path and make an extra chit draw. In that case, there are units in or adjacent to the SR’s hex and they are unknown to the Observer. As such, it is a KEU meaning we flow from bubble B via the “No” path and convert the SR to an FFE and resolve it.Were the 4-6-7 Concealed the situation would be entirely different. The unit is un-Concealed and in the LOS of the Observer. We leave bubble A via the “Yes” path. In this case the Observer has LOS to the Base Level of the SR. As such, we leave bubble A via the “No” path and the SR remains in place unconverted.SR — C: For this one, the Observer is trying to convert the SR to an FFE Harassing Fire. In this case, there are two units Adjacent to the SR, but both are out of LOS of the Observer and do not meet the requirements of bubble A to leave via the “Yes” path. Looking in bubble A, when the Observer has LOS to the Blast Height, we need to determine if the Observer has LOS to KEUs in or adjacent to the SR’s hex.
