ASL
Before WBC
Sat., July 29 through Mon.,
July 31, 2006
Lancaster Host, Lancaster,
PA
Welcome
to the third Recon mini-con which features dedicated play of Advanced
Squad Leader in five rounds of swiss-elimination format.
Not actually part of WBC proper, Recon is sort of an opening
skirmish for those who can’t get enough of a good thing. Is Centurion
status in your future? Send out a patrol to Recon for an early
start to your gaming Campaign week.
WBC
attendees have long lamented the many conflicts between their favorite
WBC events. So many games, so little time…No event
has been harder hit by the urge to experience more of WBC than ASL—once
the undisputed king of Avaloncon with fields regularly drawing
in triple digits. In recent years, those ranks have dropped precipitately
so with encouragement from the good folks at Multi-man Publications,
we’ve decided to lure some of the faithful back by scheduling ASL the
weekend before WBC so you can still lead squads for three days
without missing all the other enticements that WBC has to offer
later in the week…thus putting to the test the often espoused
theory that those ASL players are still at WBC…they’re
just playing something less time intensive so they can sample
more games.
With play in a Pre-Con, those making the pilgrimmage to WBC can
get more bang for their travel buck while increasing the number
of events they can play during a glorious nine day stint of uninterrupted
gaming if they so choose. Valhalla for gamers…here on Earth
and only at WBC.
