[ASLML] AOO Status

[Wynn]

Al;

I avoided PTO for at least a decade out of fear of rules, and because I was
captivated by the ETO where my family had fought, and where my country
(Canada) was much more involved.

I also know people who do not play ASL often enough to remain familiar with
night/caves/air support/desert/amphib landings/etc.so that they tend to wish
to stick to the meat an potatoes scenarios and leave the exotic ones in the
'too spicy' jar.

I will never forget the day(s) in shich I decided to leap into a
Gavutu-Tabambogo CG, with night amphib landings, air support, Japanes, PTO,
caves all wrapped into one monster, when neither I nor my opponent was very
familiar with any of those rules sets.  As an illustration, he had a cave
set up with no entrance/exit, a half squad buried alive.  For us, both
reasonably expereinced ETO ASLers, it was just TOO d*$# HARD.

Sigh.  Being pigheaded, I've since learned most of those rules.  But that
was just too much at once.
