[ASLML] Beginner blues.

[Pete Shelling]

Umm... maybe a newbie oughtta learn about fire groups and close combat
first. Also, since GC has a predetermined set up (partially), said newb
won't be at such a loss for things like LOS. The plethora and variety of
leaders in GC also provides a better learning opportunity for that most
important part of the game.

I think we agree that either of these would be fine. After all, finding time
to play is actually the most difficult part, no?
Heck, if you have all day, why not both?

This is right on the money. Also, there is a tremendous amount if intricacy
to *Urban Combat* in ASL which is impossible grasp immediately. GC is a
terrible choice for a newbie. So all you groggies who think you're helping
by playing it with a newb-pick another scenario!!
