KV Scenarios

Klementi Voroshilov Scenarios


Red Sisters  A favorite of NKVD military police, the Krasny Krym is back--landing troops at Grigor'evka to save the day for Odessa, or not.

Wretched  Learn parachuting with the 8th Airborne Brigade of the Red Army!  But wear a coat.  It's cold...

Raus' Sour Krauts...winner of the KV scenario design contest.  Well playtested.

Red Crimea  The Soviet Light Cruiser Krasny Krym provides support for a Marine attack that is foundering.  UNPLAYTESTED!

Fight for the Fjords  There are literally NO scenarios for the fight at Narvik, an important early war campaign featuring five nationalities.  So I made this one up.  UNPLAYTESTED!  Scenario Setup File.  (Right click and download.)

Burning Bjerkvik  Another Narvik scenario featuring land-legged sailors on MG duty.  For the pyromaniac in all of us.  UNPLAYTESTED!  Scenario Setup File.  (Right click and download.)

Middle East Collection  (All Well Playtested):
Golden Square  Iraqi nationalists attempt to seize a British airfield during 1940 coup.

Namesake  Operation Countenance begins with a Soviet amphibious attack across the Caspian Sea.  The amphibious rules are dumbed down.

Persian Carpet  The Red Army races through the shattered remnants of the Shah's army, betrayed by their leaders.

Dangerous Pai Tak Pass  Operation Countenance from the south.  The British invade.

Kurdish Way  After the war, the Iranians drive into the Kurdish heartland for one of the first proxy battles of the Cold War.  *NEW better layout from VFTT.

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 the 37L.  Let's ex
