In October 1935, nine Japanese and thirty-two Manchukuoan border guards were engaged in setting up a post, about 20 kilometers north of Suifenho, when they were attacked by a force of fifty Soviet soldiers.
This is a popcorn scenario - the dice will have an impact - our game was over fairly quickly, I couldn't cause casualties and John just rolled over the top of me. I think the Japanese have to setup and be used immediately otherwise their impact is wasted. This is Throwaway ASL - it can be great fun but in the grand scheme of things it's not a stand out. What it is, is a great introduction to mounted movement and Arid Desert. Don't take it too seriously just play it and enjoy the social aspects of ASL.

Fast playing game. The machine guns are key to the defenders. Dan's Japanese Banzai Charged me twice and KIA'd two of my four Russian 4-4-7's. So remember that, the Banzai charge was devastating in this game. Despite my losses, my Russians were able to clear the huts of all but one squad. That squad was then broken in Defensive Fire of Turn 5 for the Russian win.
