Virtual Nor’easter XXV announcement

Announcement:

The Yankee ASL group () announces the virtual Nor’easter XXV tournament! Due to the continuing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic the 25th version of our Nor’easter ASL tournament will be held virtually via VASL. This will be a “live” event on the same weekend as already planned for Nor’easter XXV: March 18th-21st 2021. Full details and descriptions are below.

Description:

The YASL Nor'easter is New England's regional ASL championships. It is normally held annually near Boston, MA. In 2021 it will be held virtually via VASL. It is a yearly get-together of people in the New England area, and now worldwide, that play Advanced Squad Leader (ASL) and Advanced Squad Leader Starter Kit (SK). The Nor'easter is hosted and directed by the boys from The Bunker and the Yankee ASL Group.

Since we are virtual this year there are some changes from the usual setup. First, the tournament is 100% free! No hotel means no registration fee! But there will still be prizes for the top 3 finishers in the Main Tournament. As of this writing, we do not have any mini tournaments planned but if that changes we will post an update.

For up to date announcements and friendly banter we recommend you join our mailing list on groups.io either from our main website at or at /g/yasl.

The sign up page and information is always available at

Schedule and Tournament:

Currently we only have the Main Tournament scheduled with Carl Nogueira as the Tournament Director. Being a virtual tournament we expect players from many time zones so our usual round times have changed.

Thursday March 18th is reserved for open gaming. We have a list of recommended Thursday scenarios available for download at . If you are interested in Thursday play, we recommend you join our mailing list (as described above) and request a matchup.

The Main Tournament will be held as follows:

Round 1 Friday March 19 11AM EST-4PM EST

Round 2 Friday March 19 5PM EST-until you finish

Round 3 Saturday March 20 11AM EST-4PM EST

Round 4 Saturday March 20 5PM-until you finish

Round 5 Sunday March 21 11AM EST- until you finish

Full Main Tournament rules are available at . Please note we will post updates on how the rules function in a virtual environment.

As of this writing, we will require players to use VASSAL 3.2.17 running VASL 6.5.1 as that appears to be the most stable version for the most players (). This too may be subject to change as we draw closer to the start date.

The full scenario list has already been published at with scenario downloads. You will see some new YASL scenarios that have not been published yet. Around the same time as Nor’easter XXV we will be releasing the YASL pack 2 with more great scenarios and 3 new boards. Thank your LFT for helping us with this production!

Please head on over and sign up. Check here, on our website or mailing list for more information and updates.

Thank you,

Yankee ASL and the Bunker Crew
