Onslaught to Orsha 2: Bounding Fire

Ugggg....  low production values.  The lowest.  But arriving home from ASL Scandinavian Open I found the long awaited Onslaught to Orsha 2 from Bounding Fire Productions.

So I opened it up and filmed it for you!!!



Ignore the part where I drop the phone.

I've played a couple of the scenarios when I went to Bounding Fire at Blackpool.  Like all the scenarios you get from Bounding Fire, they were both really good.

There are 32 scenarios, 2 double wide geomorphic maps, a historical map, three and a half pages of counters, a CAMPAIGN GAME and a couple of Solo missions.

The campaign game is a new twist and it fits the formula of a Red Barricades campaign.

By The Numbers How were the three arguably most important numbers in ASL generated and why is there virtually no conversation about whether they are real? You can tell an ASL grognard 1 when you mention 666 and he immediately thinks of a first line US squad rather than the mark of the devil. Virtually all ASL players will know exactly what you are talking about if you give the three digits of its firepower, range and morale. Maybe less so of, for example, second line Italian squads. And, to be sure, there is a lot of overlap, for example, 447 squads. However, it is this defining characteristic that identifies units. How did these characteristics come about? Why are they so universally accepted and virtually never debated? Perhaps most importantly: Why do we go on adding squads (especially by third party producers) without laying down a basic understanding of what goes on in the composition of these factors? I propose a short exercise to help us understand...

Doesn't Add Up

It's fair to say that I have a bias when it comes to ASL.  I am a Red Army man. I also like to have a little bit of fun poking the game designers over slights to the Red Army.  So why is it that the PTRD is so inferior to the Lahti ATR? The Soviet PTRD (Anti-Tank Rifle Degtyarov) was deployed in the Summer of 1941 as a cheap and quick replacement for the scads of anti-tank equipment the Red Army lost in the early phases of the war.  It used a powerful 14.5mm round that could penetrate 40mm of rolled plate armor at 100m--at 90 degrees.  Around 160,000 were produced before they became hopelessly outdated in 1942.  However, even afterward many units kept them available because they remained effective vs. halftracks and reconnaissance vehicles. This compares quite favorably to the penetration of the 37mm Pak deployed by the Wehrmacht which could penetrate 60mm of rolled plate at 100mm--again at 90 degrees. Yet, in ASL, the BTK numbers are 6 for the PTRD and 9 for th...
