NYS ASL News from the Front Dateline May 11, 2025
Our team is currently working on the scenarios for the Main Tournament (Although the round themes have been published). This should be published in August 2025 (although more likely September....you know how things work).? One round I am very excited about is the Best of Tom Morin. Tom as you know has done a lot for our game and is well known for his scenario designs and campaign games like Valour of the Guards and Operation Turnscrew. I asked him to pick some of his personal favorite scenarios that he designed and he came up with a ¡°greatest hits¡± collection of very good scenarios. Truth be told I am hoping to entice him to come to the tourney this year! We added a new page to the website highlighting Joe Leoce¡¯s build of this year¡¯s main tournament trophy. In each News from the Front I will post a few pictures of Joe¡¯s progress; as you know he does exceptional work and I know we would all like to have one of his pieces in our war rooms. Paul Sidhu will be running an ASL Bingo game in rounds 1-4. The first player to achieve bingo in each round will receive an addition raffle ticket free of charge. More on this at the tourney.? For those who arrive Wednesday I am arranging a special tour of the USS Slater, the last Destroyer Escort afloat in the United States. She is remarkably well preserved (I know first hand) and all proceeds from this tour go towards the continued maintenance of this amazing piece of history. ?As always please check out our sponsor page and please support them!

Re: An ASL friend has passed...
You bet Mike, I loved Kiri, even when dice went wizzing by my head!
I played Kiri man times but was lucky to beat him 1 out of 3 or 4 times, he was better than me and usually at least as good with the dice but if they kept abusing him, watch out, they might be flying by!
We all miss him and yes, be happy when you play anyone still. I got to play Tom Morin (VASL), Steve Johns (ftf) and Steve Anderson (VASL) this week and have the same lineup for next week. My ASL cup runneth over, I have played as much, if not more, ASL since I got sick and retired in 2018 than from 1985 - 2017 combined. I never throw my precision dice, no matter what they are doing to me, Vic.? 
My condolences to my Bunker Friends.
I didn't play Kiri many times, but I do know that I never beat him.
As already noted, Kiri opened his home to many ASLers.? And other games, as my first ever game of Catan was at his place, probably after he sliced me up in record time in an ASL match.
If I may add a humorous story, I do recall that he used to fire up the grill for burgers and dogs while hosting.? He did this even though he must not have been a big burger/dog fan himself. How did I know he wasn't a burger/dog fan?? Because when I went to put ketchup on mine, I noticed the ketchup was not a normal ketchup color; it was so old that it was even before "best by" dates, old enough to change color.? Actually, I should rephrase, Kiri may have liked to grill, he just didn't use ketchup on them.? And I declined the ketchup.? :-)
And well said, Vic, we should treasure anytime that we can play together.

Hello everyone, Vic from Dispatches and the western Mass chapter of New England ASL, I'm sorry to report that Joe Gochinski texted me and the Bunker Crew that Kiri Naiman, 67, had passed away this past Monday. Anyone who got to play with him in the 1990s and 2000s found a very tough opponent, he and Allen Loiselle knew the rulebook inside and out and were our in house rules experts. We had a great RB campaign with him and it was very sad that he let the dice get to him over time, he left ASL around 15 years ago but was still hosting gaming Saturdays a few years after he stopped playing ASL. He was a good friend who I had not seen in over a decade and just so sad to hear he is gone.?
Joe Gochinski is gettting info on if there will be a wake for anyone interested, I'll let Joe chime in when he gets any concrete info. I'm 70 now so this is quite sobering to me but I'm doing OK and hope to roll many dice in the coming years.?
I hope to see some of you out this way at some point, I'll be hosting a game day in Pittsfield sometime soon. I also plan to get out to Chuck Tewksbury's garage for gaming before Summer's heat. I hope to see you and we all need to treasure anytime we play together. Have a good Thursday, Vic.?

Re: An ASL friend has passed...
Please let me know how you make out Joe. Thanks, Carl

Best Joe? ? Have you heard from Al at all? Carl
You bet Ralph, Kiri was awesome at making SSRs as close to following the rulebook as possible, along with being able to understand it. With him and Allen in the club, we had an answer for just about anything ASL. Before I had experts like Steve Pleva and Paul Sidhu for rules questions and strategy tips, we had Kiri and Allen. I miss them both!
I will make a game date here in Pittsfield soon and look forward to visiting you this Summer as well. See you at some point, roll low, Vic.?

He was a good friend who I had not seen in over a decade and just so sad to hear he is gone.?
Joe Gochinski is gettting info on if there will be a wake for anyone interested, I'll let Joe chime in when he gets any concrete info. I'm 70 now so this is quite sobering to me but I'm doing OK and hope to roll many dice in the coming years.?
I hope to see some of you out this way at some point, I'll be hosting a game day in Pittsfield sometime soon. I also plan to get out to Chuck Tewksbury's garage for gaming before Summer's heat. I hope to see you and we all need to treasure anytime we play together. Have a good Thursday, Vic.?

Re: An ASL friend has passed...
Very sad. Hang in there Vic. I will pray for Kiri and his family.

Hello everyone, Vic from Dispatches and the western Mass chapter of New England ASL, I'm sorry to report that Joe Gochinski texted me and the Bunker Crew that Kiri Naiman, 67, had passed away this past Monday. Anyone who got to play with him in the 1990s and 2000s found a very tough opponent, he and Allen Loiselle knew the rulebook inside and out and were our in house rules experts. We had a great RB campaign with him and it was very sad that he let the dice get to him over time, he left ASL around 15 years ago but was still hosting gaming Saturdays a few years after he stopped playing ASL. He was a good friend who I had not seen in over a decade and just so sad to hear he is gone.?
