Name and Rank:Conscript Third Class Jim Mehl
Reason for Rank:Top Three Tourney Placement
Club Honors:2005 Style Point Champion, 2004 and 2005 Club Tournament Second Place, 50 Scenario Oak Cluster, 100 Scenario Silver Star
Favorite ASL Scenario(s):Sweep for Bordj Toum Bridge and The Citadel. Sweeping, kitchen-sink scenarios. Way cool.
Most Hated ASL Scenario(s):Skirmish in the Snow and Lee's Charge. Boring, pointless crapola.
Best ASL Moment:Stopping by Winter Offensive 2001 to see if I might be interested in buying the new rulebook and getting into ASL and seeing Curt Schilling pushing a baggage trolley full of rulebook boxes into the ballroom. The goofy, shinola-eating grin on his face told me this could have definite possibilities.
Favorite Non-ASL Game(s):Advanced 3rd Reich/A World at War, Panzergruppe Guderian, Solomon's Campaign
Pet Peeve:Players that won't play un 'unbalanced' scenario because they're petrified they might get the underdog on a random pick. Fine, take whichever side you want. I'll even take the Dutch in Piercing the Peel. You don't think I will, but I will.
Favorite ASL Rule:Rate of Fire for mortars. Ask Bill Stoppel.
Favorite Attack/Defender:Americans. Total basket-cases. Manic. Depressive. Like me. Yeehah!
Likes:Players who don't put winning first. See Pet Peeves above.
Dislikes:Slow players.
Playing Since:Wargames since January 1974; ASL since February 2001
