To me exponent means "raise to the power of" but that makes little sense in the context the rule uses it since, if I'm reading it correctly, only a single die is rolled and for the MMC I have raising their firepower to the power of the exponent results in numbers well above six. Thus MMC can always place smoke but ends its MPh if it rolls a six. Is that true or have I completely misunderstood? Thirdly do people tend to use the IFT or IIFT?

List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 30 Oct 2003 19:26:27 -0000 I will answer a few of these questions: Infantry Smoke placement...if you look at the "exponent" as just being a number you have to roll on one D6 you will understand it better. So if the exponent is 3 then he has to roll 3 or less to get the smoke in his own hex, if the exponent is 1 he needs a one etc. IFT vs IIFT .....This will surely start an argument, but I have been playing about 1.5 years and have never played a single person and used the IIFT. I have only ever had one person I played even asked which chart to use. It is therefore my personal opinion that most people use the IFT. Cowering......I have never heard this question before. No one that I have ever played ignores cowering. Why would you think to ignore it since it is a rule like any other with its own little section in A7.9.

Hi, always glad = to see new players. Feel free to ask any questions, just sometimes we ask that = you read the rules. J

 

1. Best scenario? Try Gavin Take = – available for free download as one of the scenarios in the “ASL = Classic”.  See http://www.multi= manpublishing.com/downloads.php . This scenario is all infantry, one board, no hills, no sniper. Easy = and fun. If one of you is “newer” than the other, give him the = US – no = support weapons for the US<= font size=3D2 color=3Dnavy face=3DArial> either.

 

2. You have completely = misunderstood infantry smoke exponents… Its referred to as an exponent only = because it is printed so it “looks” like an exponent to the FP. So, a = 747 US para squad has a smoke exponent of 3 – not 7 to the third power or 21 = – 3. You roll one die if you roll 1, 2 or 3 you place smoke. It takes one = MP to place smoke in your own location or 2 Movement Points (MP) to place it = adjacent to your squad.

 

Note also that only squads have = smoke exponents. Once they become HS they lose all their smoke grenades. = J And remember = that it takes an extra MP to move INTO a location that has smoke. This can be = critical when trying to place smoke adjacent (say in a open street) and then move = into the street. Since it takes 2 MP to place the smoke (adjacent =3D 2 mp) = and 2 mp to enter the open ground / smoke hex that’s 4 MP. And that usually = means that you can’t do this as an assault move.

 

3. The IFT / IIFT choice is a = matter of preference. I use the IFT almost exclusively. Note that the IIFT is = “Optional” so can only be used if both players agree. That said, in some areas of = the country the IIFT is used a lot – southern California= for one.

 

4. The rules are enforced. I used = to no bother with snipers, thinking they couldn’t be important to the = game. Brother, I was wrong. Cowering is important and I will call you one it each and = every time. J

 

Personally, I don’t do PBEM, = but will play VASL live on the server – with anyone – even a = newbie.

Hi all,

I originally sent this to the old list but I don't think it ever got = through :(

I'm a complete newbie to ASL (something of a rarity these days I = believe) and will be pestering the list for questions to dumb questions on a regular = basis.

Hi Charles,

CCd this to both new and old ASLMLs.

I'm a complete newbie to ASL (something of a rarity these days I believe) and will be pestering the list for questions to dumb questions on a regular basis.

OK, check out the FAQ (someone will give the location though it's on the MMP site I think,) it has a lot of info that is great for newbies (and grogs.)

First off what is the best scenario for two absolute beginners to play in order to begin to get a working grasp of the rules?

On MMPs site you'll find 8 Steps to ASL and Classic ASL downloads. That's a pretty good way to start.

Secondly could someone explain infantry smoke placement in simple terms to me. I'm OK with the MF involved and the fact it takes place in the MPh but I'm mightly confused by the "exponent" part of A24.1. To me exponent means "raise to the power of" but that makes little sense in the context the rule uses it since, if I'm reading it correctly, only a single die is rolled and for the MMC I have raising their firepower to the power of the exponent results in numbers well above six. Thus MMC can always place smoke but ends its MPh if it rolls a six. Is that true or have I completely misunderstood?

No, the "exponent" is the smoke number, it isn't really an exponent at all. To place infantry smoke you must roll that number or less on 1 die.

Thirdly do people tend to use the IFT or IIFT? Personally I lean towards the IFT at the moment due to its simplicity but if the IIFT is in common use I guess we should use that.

You'll get many responses bordering on and beyond ignorant ranting. It's a preference, some prefer the IFT (many have it mostly or completely memorized) while others prefer the IIFT. There are arguments that each creates artificial stacking (primarily with German 3/5/7FP MGs) and tactics as well as arguments that each is more realistic. The only rule that matters is IIFT is an optional and both players must agree to it's use.

Fourthly is the "cowering" rule widely enforced or do folks tend to ignore it?

Enforced, if it's not in the optional rules (Chapter E), it's not optional.
One of the great moments in ASL is watching your opponent cheer for his snake-eyes on your 10-3 running in the open (-2DRM) and then collapse as he realizes it was his long range LMG shot without leader direction that now missed.

Good Luck in your games, hopefully we'll meet on VASL or FtF someday.

Wow, tough question, but there are several small all-infantry scenarios that might serve. Two suggestions: -Gavin Take (T1); awesome leaders for the Americans, but they have two separate groups that are hard to coordinate -Defiance On Hill 30 (ASL11); the Yanks have one Light Mortar, and this is an excellent all-infantry scenario; they have to be careful & not give too much ground, but not expose themselve to too much fire in the proces because their small force is somewhat brittle until the reinforcements arrive >Secondly could someone explain infantry smoke placement >in simple terms to >me.

Thus MMC can always place smoke but ends >its MPh if it rolls >a six. Is that true or have I completely misunderstood? You have misunderstood; the exponent is not related to the FP number in any way. So if a squad has a smoke grenade exponent of "3", that means it rolls one die and on a 1,2, or 3 it may throw smoke; a 4 or 5 is no result; a 6 means the squad has to end its MPh right where it is. >Thirdly do people tend to use the IFT or IIFT?

I would say most use the IFT for the same reason you do; but both tables are commonly used.

It's usage tends to be regional in that one table will be used more than the other almost to exclusion.

Check out the ASL FAQ for some good suggestions, as well as other answers to good questions: http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/mantis/ASLFAQ/ >Secondly could someone explain infantry smoke placement in simple >terms to me. Ok, an American 6-6-6 squad has a smoke "exponent" of 3--you can see it on the counter above and to the right of the first 6. To place smoke grenades, during its MPh, you declare your attempt, pay the MF cost (1 or 2) and the roll one die (a dr). If you roll 1-3 you may place the smoke (+1 drm if CX). If you roll 4-5 no smoke, but continue moving. If you roll an original 6, stop moving and go to the next moving unit. >Thirdly do people tend to use the IFT or IIFT? Personal choice. I would guess that the IFT is more common, but no idea by how much. >Fourthly is the "cowering" rule widely enforced or do folks tend to ignore it? Never seen it ignored, although I have heard that some people use a house rule that says that a snake eyes (DR2) never cowers.
