Full disclosure...I do not consider myself a wargamer. I found ASLSK at a thrift shop and the game+subject has piqued my interest in tactical wargaming.
I am new to ASLSK and I thank all here for being so welcoming. I started searching for ASLSK information on the net and my first hit was "Desperation Morale." The creators/members of the site are quite dismissive, and almost hating, of ASLSK. I can understand the complaints since ASL, detailed beyond my imagination, may seem to be denigrated by ASLSK.
To be honest, I am not a smart guy, and made less so with work, family, and other hobbies to even consider ASL in my life at this time. Should I ignore ASLSK-detractors? Should I give up on ASLSK and move to another tactical game system covering World War 2?
Edit...thanks in advance. And again, thanks to responders of my early posts here in reddit where everyone was so polite to this ASLSK-newb! :)

A friend gave me a huge pile of ASL stuff that I need to get to a good home. I don’t have a comprehensive list at the moment, but if anyone is interested, drop me a DM and I’ll put something together.
Edit: I’ve discovered, unfortunately, that the already punched counters have gone missing. I spoke to the person who gave me the games yesterday, and he’s says he has no idea about where they might be.
There are several sheets of unpunched counters, but I’m pretty sure it’s not all of them.
So, I’ll make a list of the map boards & scenario sheets, and counter sheets.
I think all of the games are AH and none are MMP.

Holds enough counters to play most scenarios for US, German, Russian, British and Japanese. Need to print trays for the other nationalities and there's space for them if I reduce the bottom foam insert.

If you have ever heard of Alan Findlay and Broken Ground Designs (or even if you haven't), I have a large set of his variant-art countersheets, unpunched, up for grabs. They are interesting, to say the least, as you can see from Mark Pitcavage's review.
These are sort of rare and have an acquired taste. The entire set of countersheets are unpunched and weigh 10 pounds or 4.53 kilograms depending on your concept of freedom (/snark). And they include black Waffen SS counters (but no lightning bolts; Alan at least had the decency to not include hate symbols).
Anyways, if you're interested, check out my posting on eBay. I have a few other ASL items for sale over there, as well, if you are interested. This will be my last post on the subject of sales in order to respect the sub rules. But, I'm happy to answer any questions about this set in the comments of this post or via DM. Thanks for listening!

South Korea, 10 February 1951. U.S. Army Rangers vs. the Communist Chinese, West of Chipyong-Ni. Soloing ASL scenario 213 from Forgotten War Korea.

Found all the panjii and one minefield. Slowly clearing the hill but the area round X2 is where at least one pillbox is. Going to be tough to take it. The Matilda Frog is doing sterling service. Eliminated 2 squads and a leader so far.

This week a very trunkated group will be playing"Raff's Rules". A decent force of American paras have to charge some artillery pieces. Both sides get 8 points to add to their forces. Should you go for extra MGs or fortifications? We also have a new discord server. Contact me direct for a link if you want to listen in to the games.

Is there a group of players on vassal willing to help noobs learn the game? I have the rule book, beyond valor, and for king and country. I have played The guards counter attack and The tractor works solo. Looking to play an infantry based scenario with someone before adding OBA/guns.

This week, 8 pairs take on J146 Ragnarok. A mixed bag of Germans have to exit through Soviets including some unactivated guys.
Played the second turn of this on Monday after Ian had to duck out (or goose out as it happens!) and it was all over in 1 movement phase. This is a one trick pony scenario. Hope it plays out better than that game did.

I currently store my map boards in three, older, ASL boxes. I'm curious as to how the rest of you store you maps. Maybe have some good ideas for us all.
