Puzzle #126:
It is the German Turn 5 of 5 end of Advance Fire Phase in a 5 Turn Scenario. To win, the Americans must have at least 7 CVP worth of Friendly Infantry within 2 hexes of G10. The German player says it’s impossible, the American says there is a way. What is the American player thinking?
Solution to Puzzle #125:
Here is an ASL Classic for you: The poor Italians, finding themselves in yet another jar of pickles deep inside the Soviet Union, are facing down a terrifying Human wave of “Oorah” yelling Mongol hordes sporting PPSH’s. Unfortunately after the first MF impulse of the wave, the HMG fires and Cowers, yet as a saving grace they manage to break one entire stack. Although the right move would be to hold fire until Adjacent or in hex, the leaders panic and give the command to fire now. They did however use a classic trick that increased the odds of survival substantially (hints: there are two subtle clues, one in the previous sentence and one you have to be an ASL fanatic to spot).
The Solution lies in the fact that multiple small attacks have a greater chance of having an effect where the DRM is low (in this case -2) than one large attack. According to the odds charts found in the Classic ASL Magazine, if each Italian stack would split their inherent and MG firepower between the two Russian stacks, they would have a slight advantage. So instead of one stack attacking one opposing stack with a 8 down 2, if each squad attacked one Russian stack and each machine gun attacked the other stack they would have 4 x 4 down 2 attacks. The odds difference is:
2 x 8FP attacks have a 59% chance of a Breaking each unit in a stack
4 x 4FP attacks have a 66% chance of Breaking each unit in a stack
Farewell to Rodger B. MacGowan. Feb 21st, 2025
As a middle schooler, I used to walk down St. Catherine st. to Alexis Neon Plaza, a large three story mall/apartment building across the street from the Montreal Forum. In the mall was a small hobby store (Kangaroo Hobbies; back in the days when we had the right to have an English named store) that I would stop at almost every day before hopping on the subway to get home. This is where I saw my first Macintosh computer loaded with the original Castle Wolfenstein, all the model kits I would one day build, and of course Wargames. I would stare at the box art for over an hour per visit without ever having the money to buy anything. Back in those days of first generation wargames the interior graphics of the components were as horrible as the box art was great. I honestly don’t think I ever would have gotten hooked into the hobby of wargaming had it not been for Rodger’s incredible artwork which threw me right into the battle. I owe him countless hours of fun and friends since then. Thank you and I hope you are watching from above as many of us still stare timelessly at your creations.
