Status: offline 		good question ! One I remember well is the Citadel (with the russians moving first in a SPWAW version to let the russians redeploy a bit in a PBEM game) Will take a look at my archives and dig out some other suggestions

Some ASL (or SL) scenarios have already made it into SPWAW (Chateau de Quesnoy and Here We Stay, for example). The Citadel is another good choice.

Status: offline 		Never got to play much ASL, but I still play the original SL games quite a bit; a couple have already been converted, and I think with the new smaller maps, I might try my hand at one or two when 3.0 becomes available, time permitting. Anyway, my favorites are: Guards Counterattack Tractor Factory Hill 621 Escape From Velikiye Luki Paw of the Tiger Hube's Pocket A Winter Melee Silent Death Swatting at Tigers The last one is one of the best, I think, featuring a bunch of scattered American paratroopers in Italy, whose only AT weapons are bazookas and a mountain howitzer, defending two ridges from a full platoon of Tiger tanks with infantry support from the Herman Goering Division. Regarding victory conditions and conversions: I think that Matrix will be providing new types of victory hexes which will broaden the victory spectrum a bit, I think, in 3.0. That change, along with an option (as WB suggested in another thread) for variable placement (should be on a unit-by-unit basis, so that some are free setup and some not) would go a long way toward capturing the SL/ASL experience.

Status: offline 		Thor, it's true what you say to some degree, especially as regards battlefield integrity. SPWAW allows the battle to go to the last man standing..a concession to playability, I guess. But the ASL (and SL) scenarios have the map and OOB somewhat in shape, a major plus for those of us with limited time. While not as creative as doing it from scratch, some of those scenarios are very good battles. I'd love to see 'Hube's Pocket'-I always loved that one.

Status: offline 		Thanks for the Imput as this helps refine Ideas I have for the SP Arsenal Page new scenarios. IO hope to convert ASL scenarios into SPwaw Format. Hubes Pocket was one of my all time Favorite ASL games. During an ASL Local Tourney, as the Russain side, I sent a lone T'34 to block the road: it did and withstood everything the SS thru at it. Thanks for the ideas. Keep 'em coming! ------------------ MarauderMel

Status: offline 		Three other scens I would like to see converted is The Battle for Rome (a rare fight of Germans against Italians and featuring some partisans too), the Schoolhouse (dense street fighting during Kursk from Deluxe ASL) and Jungle Citadel (Japanese vs Chinese). About Hill 621: once when playing the Germans the pre-game bombardment triggered a sniper check killing the 9-2 which in turn triggered a MC to its stack which again triggered a sniper check which killed another leader etc etc... till I had no leader left and almost no good-order squad.
