[ASLML] ASL Heroes 2004

[Pete Phillipps]

HEROES 2004
ADVANCED SQUAD LEADER TOURNAMENT
26th - 28th March (Friday through Sunday) 2004
Hotel Skye, South Promenade, Blackpool, England


2004 sees the organisers of BERSERK! take a well earned break so HEROES
moves from its normal slot at Birmingham’s ManorCon gaming convention to
fill the gap for ASL action in the first half of the year. Like BERSERK! the
action starts on Thursday and continues through to Sunday so you can play in
an ASL tournament and/or play friendly games (or even try your hand at a
campaign game if you can find an opponent). The focus of the weekend will be
the main tournament,in which players of like record are paired off to allow
us to determine the winners - depending on numbers attending there will be
four or five rounds. The first round will start on Friday afternoon and each
round sees players choose from three carefully selected scenarios. Main
tournament entrants are to be familiar with the rules through to the first
half of Chapter G.

Don’t worry if you are a new player (someone who hase only ever played five
or fewer games against a live opponent), as a special tournament featuring
scenarios with easy to handle units and manageable forces will be  available
on Friday. You can learn the game with an experienced player nearby to offer
advice on rules. There will never be a better time to try your hand at ASL!

Remember, you can also drop in just for part of a day if you can't make it
for the full weekend.


The Hotel Skye is familar to those who have attended BERSERK! in the past
and offers plenty of gaming room for the whole weekend, Meals and good beer
are also available in the hotel, and numerous alternative food outlets are
close by. The hotel is easily accessible from the M55 and the train station
is a 5 minute walk away. Bed and breakfast is just £22.00 per person for a
shared room or £28.00 for a single room.


The weekend, whether you enter a tournament or just play games with the
people you will meet, is fantastic value at only £7.00!
