Front Toward Enemy
 Front Toward Enemy is a game of tactical firefights during the Vietnam War, with rules for everything from helicopter gunships to tunnels to medics. The heart of the game is the activation phase, which is determined by random chit pull. Once a chit a drawn a player can activate units in a hex, or a leader and his nearby units, and all perform an action. These actions include Move, Fire, Assault, Search, Recover, Destroy Cache, Request Medevac, and Request Fire Mission.    One of the unique features of the game is that when a unit takes a KIA or WIA result, the unit needs to be transported off the board (or the player may lose Victory Points). The most common method for the American player to do this is by making a Medevac request, which will bring in a helicopter to help remove the KIA/WIA from the game.
Front Toward Enemy puts you in the middle of the toughest fighting of the longest war of the 20th Century.
Front Toward Enemy will contain:

Chas’ ASL Corner
Two core module updates-the Italians and the French-are now also in preliminary layout. Chas is working on an updated version of Chapter F (North Africa) that will be included with the Italian module along with Soldiers of the Negus, the remake of the Ethiopian conflict, and all the desert material. We are also working with Dan Dolan and his crew to include their Dinant HASL in the updated French module. As usual, each module will also include a large collection of relevant scenarios, updated with any errata and balance adjustments. Chas would like to acknowledge all of the people who answered last year’s call for more ASL proofreaders and who have volunteered their time, eyes, and energy to making our releases that much better. These include: Jon Bays, Michael Brollini, Jeremy Busby, Alain Chabot, Michael Dorosh, Nadir Elfarra, Terence Gray, Tom Halliday, Chris Hart, Mike Johnston, Rob Keehn, Jackson Kwan, J.P. Laurio, Chad Mekash, Jose Tomas Balaguer Monferrer, Tom Morin, Jeff Myers, Steve Nicewarner, Stance Nixon, Joseph Pellam, Dave Reinking, John Richards, Michael Rodgers, Hennie van der Salm, Danny Secary, Mark Sockwell, Jan Spoor, Stephen Stewart, Paul Suderman, Daniel Takai, James Thompson, William Willow, Paul Ybarrondo, and Peter Young. Thank you to all; this work would be far more difficult without you! |

In The Pipeline
In no particular order, we expect the following titles to move into production soon. As usual, this list is subject to change.
Panzer Battles (SCS)
Panzer Battles takes the SCS system used in the ground breaking games Bastogne, It Never Snows, and Day of Daysto the Eastern Front. This Standard Combat Series game allows players a fast playing look at the classic ‘fire brigade’ battles along the Chir River in December 1942 as the Germans manage to turn back the additional pincers trying to close around the Stalingrad Pocket.
  The Last StandMasahiro Yamazaki is busy finishing up the art for The Last Stand. Mas’ games traditionally have a great classic look and feel and The Last Stand lives up to that tradition. Mas feels this is his best work ever in 20 years of designing, so you can expect a game you will be very happy to have in your library. This should be going out to gamers shortly! Operation Mercury

Coming to Pre-Order Soon!
Kasserine (BCS)
The second game in the Battalion Combat Series series will contain two maps covering the first serious ground fighting by US forces against Nazi Germany, Feb 14 through 23, 1943. While this is undeniably a US loss, popular ideas of how ‘easy’ it was are mistaken. The loss, as it was, was more the product of bad leadership at the corps level, than it was with the troops. The Axis attack has difficult goals… ones they were not able to accomplish.
Monocacy/Ft. Stevens (LoB)
The third game in the Line of Battle Series covering Jubal Early’s campaign in the summer of 1864 to either take Washington DC or to threaten it sufficiently that forces would be stripped from Grant’s efforts to advance against Richmond. The two battles (one on two maps the other on one) can be fought as a campaign where the player’s success (or lack of it) at Monocacy affects his chances at the gates of Washington.
ASL
Chas is keeping his lips sealed on details, but we expect some ASL products will also be coming soon!
