I agree withn you in general, but in the case of ASL, it just comes
down to I want ASL on the computer. I want to play the same scens with
the same pieces and the same rules. I enjoyed Steel Panthers and
Combat Mission, etc., but they didn't cure the jones for ASL on my PC.

I agree. I'd happily contribute with issues I have that they don't if
it was more of a "let's see if we can put the entire collection
together and then let everyone download them for free". Hell, I'd host
it. I could probably make enough on google ads or somesuch to offset

Quite easily. Some of the best classic CCAW scenarios were Atlantic /

And there were piles of other scenarios. Indian Ocean what-ifs, Force

You can't invade Norway until Denmark falls since no naval moves from the
Baltic to the North Sea are allowed until you own Copenhagen. You'll need
every German ship you have in the north sea if you want to try and invade
Norway.
Save up for a Para Division right away, and you can simply drop on the

Sounds like he's copying the "Clash of Steel" model *too* closely. In
COS, you could only move into Denmark if you declare war on Norway
(don't ask me why) and then after that there was no real reason to
even move in there as there was no ports or cities.

I'd certainly be very interested in a scenario pack for the existing
game. A comprehensive enough list of RN-related scenarios could see me
part with twenty pound quite easily.

read all the manual.
No land crossing to copenhagen so Denmark remains. They didn't have to
invade did they?

True, but tiles force what can be in any particular location. This makes it
easy to write rules for what happens on a particular tile. Without tiles,
the artists get free reign and it can be a little harder to code stuff
supporting a non tiled environment.
The current wargame I'm working on is completely vector based and allows
