ASL Scenario List
2011
As a break from in our continuing Federation and Empire game, Joe and I will be rolling dice in anger with ASL. Since we’ll be playing on June 27, I searched the ASL Scenario Database for all the scenarios set on June 27th.
AP7 - Directive Number Three is set near Dubno, Ukraine, on 27 June 1941. Just five days after the start of Operation Barbarossa, this scenario pits two advancing armored columns against each other over the flat farm land full of grain fields.
Not only is this almost perfect tank country, the setting in 1941 means there are loads of early war special tanks - including the T-35. This “land battleship” has four turrets, two with 76* guns and two with the MG armament. The way the mini-turrets are arranged, one 76* and one MG cover all firing arcs, but there is no place where both big guns fire in the same direction. The Russians also have a T-34 M40 with its 11 AF front will give Fritz the willies... They don’t have a gun that can crack that thick, sloped front armor.
For the Germans, there are plenty of the small Panzers, including two Czech Skoda tanks. The tanks are solid and reliable, which is more than most of those radioless death traps Ivan will be driving.
Right now, I don’t know who’s going to play which side, but it’ll be fun.
DOH! We weren’t able to meet up this week - maybe on July 4th?
41/ AP7 Directive Number Three
6/26/11
As a break during playing a Federation and Empire campaign, Joe (my Long Time Opponent) and I will be pulling out ASL again - and we’ll be playing a scenario with lots of early war tanks, both German and Soviet, including the T-35 Land Battleship (pictured).
