HUMAN WAVE 2024 Wrap-up

Conscripts and Fellow Travelers,

We had another great tournament this weekend. Thanks to everyone for coming and having fun leading your cardboard warriors to victory (or defeat). Here’s a quick recap:

  • Our own John Gorkowski won the tournament with a 3-0 record, narrowly defeating Neil Stanhagen ASL 171 Possl’s Posse, in the early morning hours Saturday night / Sunday morning.
  • Neil earned a second place finish, winning as the Germans in WO33 One-Eyed Jacques and as the Russians in ASL275 Village of the Damned.
  • Brian Youse and Curt Schilling from MMP made an appearance to playtest some upcoming releases.
  • Our honorary “toast” and raffle was another success.
  • We had players come in from as far as Wisconsin, Kentucky and the Carolinas to play with us. And curiously enough, an ASL player from Britain happened to be staying the hotel this weekend and came by to say hello. Phil — next time you’re in town you’ll have to set aside some time to play with us! Thank you to all the visitors for joining!
  • We received positive feedback about the new venue and location and hope to play at Fair Oaks again next year.
  • A special thanks goes out to all those who helped make this year’s tournament possible: John Stadick, our Tournament Director, and to Dave Wiesenhahn, John Gorkowski, Stephen Frum and others for helping out behind the scenes to make the event a success.

See you next year!

Scenario List is Up

The Human Wave is only five weeks away! As the excitement builds, we have posted the Scenario List, so be sure to take a look.

Some of the Proletariat have asked about swag for this year — yes, our very popular t-shirts are being requested through official channels. We’ll put the order page up shortly. Still working on the glasses. Due to the need for advanced optics for the front, I am not entirely sure the glass factory will have our order ready in time, but we’ll see.

Have you registered yet?

New Feature!

Thanks to Conscript John G.’s suggestion, we are now going to post the win/loss record for tournament participants at ASL-Ratings.org . This way you will be able to see how you compare to other ASL players, globally. And it’s a great way to ‘give back’ to the ASL community.

To participate, make sure you complete the Player Information Form after registering.
