The first concept to understand and how it interacts with the game, is control. Of course, there may be any combination of any of the above And the first thing is to know that there are several types of conditions. Much care goes into writing these and this is the single most important part of the card to read. The next part of the Scenario Card to consider is the Victory Conditions. Finally, gentlemen, please note that grain is plowed fields Is it 1945 and you’re doing a Panzerfaust check? Don’t forget your -1 die roll modifier (drm). There are many other rules that are date-dependent however, most are tied to terrain.
Is it November 1942 and you want to replace some of your leaders with commissars? Sorry, but that’s no longer an option.
There are also many rules that change with the year. As an example, a scenario set in April or May means that grain is out of season and is replaced with plowed fields. When it comes to knowing how to win, the first thing to do is to read the Scenario Card in order, starting with the introduction. Good news, lads! We’re in a HASL! No need to focus on Victory Conditions! As such, scenarios in Historical ASL campaigns won’t be examined here – the focus will be on the individual scenario. That said, anything the successful player does will put his force that much closer to victory. As such, the player may decide that for the upcoming scenario that he will win by preserving his force, taking a number of buildings, or even just killing as many enemy as possible. In any case, the ultimate aim will be to achieve final victory. The players will decide what their conditions are for winning. These will have conditions on how to win the campaign however, every scenario is pretty much a free-range affair.
In this case, the main exception is in any Historical Campaign. As in all things ASL, there are exceptions. “OK, one more time, here are the Victory Conditions”Įvery scenario of Advanced Squad Leader – there are – will have as part of its scenario card clearly defined Victory Conditions. This article will discuss what players ought to do in order to ensure a complete understanding of how to win their scenario. One point that kept coming up was that in about one-third of all games, one side or the other will have an incorrect idea of how to win. A of mine here on No Dice, No Glory led to some great discussion out on the internet. Or, more accurately, misunderstanding them. I have done many egregious errors.īut none have been as bad as misreading the victory conditions for a scenario. I have miscalculated the Dice Roll Modifiers (DRM) of an attack. I have set up some units illegally, only to have them removed upon discovery. Many of these lessons were learned the hard way. I have discussed elsewhere some of my education in gaming, especially in Advanced Squad Leader. There are many people who are much better gamers than I.
