Still have SL and ASL, actually I have 4-5 ASL games in total, I liked HUGE battles!! Bought the solitaire system and used to lay out monsters on a ping-pong tabel, and play them, cool times....

The old ping pong table...I used to set up a mix of SL and ASL boards for the summer in the garage and just play a monster game. If someone wanted to play that was fine but most of the time it was solitaire. Aside from the investment in boards and game pieces the hundred bucks for that ping pong table was well worth it

We had a game store in town where the guys gathered to play SL. The greatest game was a double blind 5x5 (yes, complete with two sets of maps and a wall between the players) where the GM used to put out a blank piece and say "you see the enemy here but you cannot get a read on just what they are".
The wall was just short of eye level so that you can see your opponent's eyes when you stood up. That was an added bonus to game. We laughed at each other when we saw the fear and frustration. Until those BT's turned into SU 152's.
Ah, those were the days. :bow:
Switched to miniatures until it got too time consuming. And, I found CS.:smoke:
