Subject: [yasl] Question on board NP3 Hey Folks,
I was looking at board NP3 and has some questions on terrain features. Not sure if groups.io allows attachments but I'll try. :)
In hex V8 and W9 there is a contour.?? Is this a hill?? Y4, Y5, Z4 and FF6 is another example.
In hexes S3-S5 there is another contour with a greenish color. Is this a valley?
Thanks!

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

Re: Virtual Nor'easter XXV announcement
Thanks Mike for the kind words, Ted came up with a nice design and though tough on the Americans to start, once they get their reinforcements it is the German going back on Defense. Nice back and forth action, we had a ball playtesting it, Vic.

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

Hey guys,
I was going to try to plan to attend. I started playing quite
a while ago but am back after a long hiatus. I still need to
pass my WTC (wife task check), but I think I have a couple good
DRMs. I consider myself an intermediate player, and I’ll play
anything except night, so I’m open to match up with just about
anyone. I’d be glad to play a trial scenario beforehand if you
want to kick the tires. I’m going to help organize and
participate in Human Wave, so I thought this would be a good
learning experience. By the way, I’ve played Tom Morin a couple
times (I helped play test VotG) if that’s a positive reference!?

You know Tom? Well, we're desperate. You'll do. All kidding aside, if you are in, please sign up on the website. Strictly live VASL this year. I can pair you with an opponent once you are signed up. Please let me know. Thanks, Carl?
