Looking for articles about NIGHT
8
?Hi Folks, I¡¯m looking for any analysis/tutorial articles about ASL Night rules. Specifically any that talk about the differences between NVR and Illumination, with regards to rules E1.101 and E1.9. The following two rules are absolutely essential in order to play any night scenario properly. E1.101: ¡°The NVR of all units in an Illuminated Location is limited to Illuminated areas only [EXC: Gunflashes as seen per 1.8]". E1.9: ¡°Illumination can occur via Starshell/IR of Fires - none of which create daylight conditions. Night rules remain in effect in an Illuminated Location [EXC:..; Illuminated units can see only Gunflashes and into Illuminated Locations; 1.101]¡±. Q1: Based on these two rules; if a Starshell/IR illuminates your location, does this limit your unit(s) within that Illuminated Location from seeing anything other than gun flashes or other Illuminated Locations regardless of their NVR? Meaning they are now restricted from seeing (no LOS) to non-Illuminated Locations even within their NVR. Q2: Is there a clear distinction between hexes visible within the NVR, and those same hexes if they become Illuminated Locations (E1.9). Meaning, that hexes within its NVR are not considered Illuminate Locations, unless a Starshell/IR or Fire illuminates them. Q3: If a unit is not ¡®within¡¯ an Illuminated Location, can it see out to its NVR and any Illuminated Locations/gunflash (even if there is a gap between NVR and that Illuminated Location/gunflash)? The reason I am asking, is whether these rules can be utilized to blind a defender by firing a Starshells/IR into his positions, so the he might only be able to shoot out (of his Illuminate Location) at gunflashs and other Illuminated Locations. This might allow an attacker to safely move without being seen by avoiding movement through Illuminated Locations. Of course during his Defensive First Fire Phase he could fire Starshells/IR on your advancing units and the gig could be up, but it isn¡¯t guaranteed. Thanks, ¡ªPaul

Drop Dead Date for Reservation of rooms at the Nor'easter
2
Guys, The dropdead date for Reservations at the La Quinta inn in Springfield for the Nor'easter is: 2/26/2025. The Roomblock code is: Room Block 032725ASL. Phone Number is: 1-800-753-3757. IMPORTANT: The drop dead date is of significance because the hotel has notified me that due to construction in the hotel, they won't guarantee a room booked past the drop dead date. After 2/26/25 it becomes first come/first serve and that would lead to a room outside the hotel, with all the obvious inconvenience and cost that would incur. Nor'easter Registration and main Tourney Scenario List is here: https://www.yankeegamers.org/noreaster/noreaster2025.php Please register prior to the 26th if you are coming. Thanks, Carl
