As you all might have noticed the ASL2CM site has been closed down some days ago. I decided to take this drastic move for a number of reasons. The most important one is that the site contained material that is copyrighted. Hasbro is the copyrightholder of it and they are not pleased to see the spreading of their material in that way. This issue has been brought up before and I have tried to change the site to not violate this. The problem has however remained. Now other things of personal nature did sped up my decision to do something about it, and it turned out this way. With a little hindsight I would have done it differently, I know that now. The site expanded beyond what I could have imagined it could have done. I've read that there is a wish or plans for republishing the battles on the net. I however fear that spreading them further might hit back on the community, MMP, BTS or whoever publish them. One could have differing opinions about that, but the fact remains that the situation has changed. The ones who own the original material has reacted. I suppose that it's perfectly legal to convert a board at home and do whatever one wish with it, but publishing it over the net is another thing. ASL scenarios is for many nostalgia and thesedays look like abandoned material but definitely is not. MMP is publishing it and taking the game ahead and even publish new material. Combat Mission is following it's own path and despite their similarity they are very different games. I of course hope they will both flourish, but the combination just didn't work. Thanks for the help I've got from everyone with everything, it has definitely been a fun period. I've learnt alot along the way, not least about scenario designing and webmastering. Now I will move on to whatever endeavours lie ahead. Col. Klotz

Yeah, that's correct. But I have had help on some of them when I started all this when CM was released many moons ago Also, thanks to all those ASL scenario converters out there, great work!! There are now well over 50 scenarios converted. Col. Klotz

The ASL/CM site has been updated and I have added some Market-Garden scenarios from ASL Annual '91. They are a series of battles that should be played as a campaign in head-to-head games. I've converted the campaign rules there as well. The total campaign consists of 7 scenarios and so far the first 3 are ready. The rest is close to be finished. For those who haven't been there in a while: there's a LOT of new scenarios online. Go take a look and give them a try! For anyone having opinions about TCP/IP online play there's a new poll as well! http://www.asl2cm.com Col. Klotz

The database is online NOW! It has been reorganized and display all the data in less space and the pictures show up right in Excel! I'm sure the 1.04 data will be in there soon and can easily imagine the tremendous time and work to update it. Great work Guachi! Welcome and download it at: http://asl2cm.cjb.net/ Col. Klotz

Download the database that Guachi is working on. It's in Excel format and includes every little detail of the units. It even includes pictures of the units. Also two new scenario submissions added today: Close Order Driel: An SS assault on Polish Airborne in Driel, Holland. Regalbuto Ridge: A meeting engagement of British and German forces in Italy '43. All found at: http://asl2cm.cjb.net/ Enjoy! Col. Klotz

I'd say I've never seen a game as close (or better) as this. When I started to make the geomorphic maps and scenarios I was amazed at how similar they became to the original. Now I just can't stop converting these maps. I'm addicted. Take a look here if you haven't been there: http://asl2cm.cjb.net/ Col. Klotz

Yeah, quite another dimension when they are "real size". I hope you don't setup any infantry inside that factory, because they'll never get out Col. Klotz

OK, new zip upped. Klink, Schultz and the others ready for action. For the ASLers and others, take look at this Hogan scenario: http://home.earthlink.net/~brianwilliams/ Col.Klotz

Oops, now added;) Thanks Sinpoet

It's not ASL, but it's fun. I've put 58 commander pictures made by SinPoet on the site. Replace those boring standard pictures with some known faces from movies such as Kelley's Heroes, A Bridge too Far, Saving Private Ryan and more. Get them at: http://asl2cm.cjb.net/ and at the same time grab some converted ASL scenarios. Col. Klotz

Today I have added a new scenario. Lt. John Dolan is faced by obsolete French tanks near La Fiere. It's no better place to die. Go get it at: http://asl2cm.cjb.net/ Col. Klotz

As Freebox is having trouble I've switched to a new, and I hope permanent home. http://asl2cm.cjb.net Also, check out the two new scenarios added yesterday. Col. Klotz

I think the problem in "Buchholz Station" is that it is a meeting engagement AND a breakthrough. The Germans are also in minority which further makes it difficult. I think you're right Chrisl. The Germans should head for the village. I tweaked it like this: I placed a flag in the road junction north of the village to make the German AI go for a western route. Also I increased the experience for the Germans and decreased it for the Americans. This also reflect the shock of being surprised. The Germans were surprised too but they were already on the move and probably more alerted. Col. Klotz
