I had this quad way back in the day, it disappeared during one of my many moves[along with a lot of other stuff!]. Korsun and Operation Star were the ones that got played the most.

we have the other one, tank on tank on eastern front, love the game, like the chits and even Ashley likes it . nice to see you play it McMurray

Thanks McMurray. Good to see this one again.

How big are the hexes? 1"¿??

Great format. No endless die rolling. You get to the point. Explain the outcome. Done! :)

The old stuff still looks great. Thanks for bringing this one out Hexy.

Watched the rest of this that I missed last night. Looking forward to the rest of your plays.

Hi Hex2hex, I'm not sure it's mandatory to use Bragg corps AM only, it seems you can use his 2 divisions AM don't you think? Can't you choose one or the other? It's much easier to use one division AM after the other and certainly very cumbersome to use both of the those in the same activation. (BTW I try to download Vassal but my PC refuses it. Too bad).

Did you clip the counters while in basic training Hexy? That map is not bad at all for its age. I like how the forests are depicted.

I remember buying ASL modules at the Camp Lejeune MCX. The good ol’ days. 🥹

Have not played since last century. I think need to get it and it's Brothers to the table.

Korsun is a decent game, probably the second best game behind Operation Star in the AGS quad. However, when I play, I cannot get the Soviets to obtain a breakthrough and subsequent victory. I think the key is in the German intial set-up. I know the guidelines hamper where the German units are placed, but a careful deployment can severly stymie the Soviets. Also, careful exploitation of the bends in the rivers during the game allow the Germans to establish nearly unassailable positions. But, the game is still interesting and fun.

Seems very similar to the World at War 85 system. Lock N Load Tactical is great though, but a different beast entitely in terms of rules

I never quite liked the green russian counters.

Excellent a fairly simple but accurate simulation from SPI basic rules little chrome equals fun in wargaming thanx

Ah SPI, great games horrible colour palette 😊

Nice

Nothing so warming on a cold winter’s day as an SPI Quad game!😊

This needs a reprint and some different shades of color so not all the Russians are the same green and the German is the same color so you can or letter in a corner for the four games for easy separation in case accidentally getting mixed

I have a solo copy of Korsun I got last century. I played it once and Russians won. I have since got the quad but the counters were mostly unpunched and I just haven't gotten around to playing the games yet. Maybe this year

I likenhow younger the points ,but not from objective. Interesting

Haven't seen this game in quite a while! Great to see these older games being played. Great AAR

Very odd counter color choice for the Russians. For an older game this does not look bad at all. Are you having fun with this one Hexy? I am in the process of punching and clipping my first OCS game Hungarian Rhapsody.

Good Friday afternoon sir. Looks good. How available is it?

Nice play Hexy. I remember this was a good quick play, few warts like AT morters but I believe that was worked out.

I am so ashamed. I forgot to ring the bell. :(

Wow, te żetony i mapa wyglądają tak pięknie

Been awhile since I’ve played NaW.

That is one fine lookin' map!

Ithulu!

👍👍

What a wonderful intro! Thanks Hexy!

McMurray!!!

Hi Hex2hex, you are right, any wargamer player makes mistakes with the rules. At the moment I'm doing the same scenario of Into the woods as you, first day of Pittsburgh landing, same 9 AM, and I realized that during a few activations I completely forget to give a -1 DRM for all green units firing... Oups and oups! In fact, this is not harming the system at all. Just play it and learn in playing, nobody would jdge you if you make mistakes. And have fun.

this is great - looking forward to continued playthrough

Japanese tanks suck but man do they have some awesome camouflage patterns. This is probably the one ASLSK I would want to get but I can't see myself getting fully into ASL to be honest.

Good late Friday morning.

6:08 a tank setting fire to the grass nearby is a possibility in full asl.

2:59 the scenarios are designed with the SK limitations in mind.

I do like that map

Great Video. Intense repetitiveness is how most ASLers recall the overwhelming myriad of rules. Remember, Combined Arms rue's the day. 🙂

ASL is a great system I wish I still had all my ASL . I’m looking at old school tactical I know the Stalingrad KS starts this month

Hauptmann Wollschläger was in command in January 43. Good stuff Hexy. Still haven't taken the plunge into ASLSK.

Thanks for this one Hexy. Bounding Fire from tanks is the reason I go with Panzer when I want a good tank game, but like the infantry squad action with ASL/SL. Good that it is going well for you.

Looks like fun. I still need to organize n clean up my SL counters. Loose n mixed in baggies😢

Great video. I've considered dabbling in ASL. Recently set up a Squad Leader scenario and had some fun. I own ASLSK 1 & 2 but have yet to break the shrink.

Just to clarify why Band of Brothers doesn't include vehicle wrecks: each hex represents 40 yards across, and a smashed, wrecked vehicle adds nothing much but counter clutter on the mapboard, and little in the way of real cover. Some tactical WWII games include wrecks and they often give more cover than they really should, and can be used in gamey ways (like moving a truck into a field of fire just to have it shot up to create a vehicle wreck). Keep in mind that and a wrecked, burning vehicle was often a hazard to infantry as it may contain exploding ammunition, so they tended to stay clear of them. Hence, the designer, Jim Krohn, opted to leave vehicle wrecks out of the BoB system.

nice!

Oh, here we go.

Great video Hexy. Now you go me inspired, thinking of this old scenario played in a different game that is focused on tanks. And now you are inspiring me.
