The preparations for the 2017 Edition of the Scandinavian Open are well under way. It will be our 20th anniversary. 20 years and still going strong. The tournament will again be held at Danhostel Amager, the location that has served us so well in recent years.
We will continue the extended format that we introduced in 2016. The Tournament will once again be a 5 day event with Friendly gaming Wednesday and Thursday and the classic 5 round ASO main tournament starting friday running through sunday. There will also be mini tournaments saturday and sunday.
The friendly gaming Wednesday and Thursday will take place at the same venue as the main tournament, so you can see it as a chance to warm up for the main tournament or just a chance to play some new opponents in a friendly atmosphere. We will also set up a mini tournament on thursday for those yearning for more competitive gaming.
We have been able to negotiate a very good price with our Tournament Venue:
(Exact prices to be confirmed, but expected to be along these lines again)
Wednesday through Sunday (Full monty) - 275 Euros
Thursday through Sunday - 250 Euros
Friday through Sunday (Main ASO Tournament) - 190 Euros
These price covers the Tournament fee, linnen and towels (10 Euros) as well as breakfast, lunch and dinners for the duration of your stay. In addition you will have to pay for a room to sleep in. The cost of that depends on how many you are willing to share a room with (rooms include shower and bathroom).
1-person room, Approximately 70 Euros per night per person
2-person room, Approximately 38 Euros per night per person
3-person room, Approximately 30 Euros per night per person
4-person room, Approximately 27 Euros per night per person
Contact Michael Hastrup-Leth (hastrupleth@gmail.com) for registration and a specific price for your stay.
Updates with regards to registered players, scenarios, ABS etc. will be made available on our website leading up to the tournament. Updates will be announced in the Gamesquad forums.

See you in February

The final game between Mr.Falk and Mr.Tournemire was won by Melvin Falk. In a game of "Best think again" Melvin had thought really well about how to defend against the aggressive russian and with a couple of turns still left Mr.Tournemire conceded game. With that Melvin claimed his 6th tournament win at Scandinavian Open. Congratulations and well done !
After a couple of late cancelations we had 38 players in the main tournament and 9 players who played friendly games for a total of 47 participants over the 5 day period that ASO lastet. The first players started showing up on monday and Tuesday. The first dice started rolling wednesday when there was about 10 people were there. By thursday there was about 20 people. We therefore consider the extended tournament a succes and we expect to offer something similar next year.
Thanks to everybody who participated and helped make it another succesful edition of Scandinavian Open. We hope you enjoyed it as much as Michael and I did ourselves and we hope to see you all and many more back for ASO 2017.

AP86 - Milling about
J116 - Brigade Hill -
The preparations for the 2014 Edition of the Scandinavian Open are well under way. The date remain unchanged - February 21-23 2014.
We have decided to change venues for the 2014 Tournament. We have found an affordable youthhostel in the Copenhagen Area which can offer us an excellent playing area, affordable lodging and good service. The tournament format will remain the same as in past years. There will be 5 rounds and there will be a round with secret scenarios, ready to be published, from quality designers. It will most likely be the 3rd round in 2014 and not the 4th round like it was in 2013.
More details at our website:
The Scenario pack is in the works and we expect to release it December 1st.
Details with regards to registered players, scenarios, ABS etc. will be made available on our website leading up to the tournament. Updates will be announced in the Gamesquad forums in this thread:
You may of course contact us with any questions regarding the tournament.
Best Regards
/ASO Tournament Directors

Då måste den definitivt skrivas om, för jag skulle tro att det bara finns en rimlig tolkning att göra,
och det låter minst sagt konstigt att han som skrev VCs måste tolka vad han själv skrivit om andras tolkning
ej duger.
Du tolkade dem fel förut det har vi förstått, vad som blir av detta speltest scenario lär vi få se, men förslagsvis så är det väl bäst att släppa scenariot med dess orginaltryckta VCs, om du nu tror, som det tycks framgå, att det bara finns ett sätt att läsa dem på.
Nej, Mej, jeg siger ikke at det kun kan læses på en måde. Jeg er enig i at de var dårligt beskrevet. Men det må vel designers intentioner der er afgørende. Det var det jeg beskrev. Og det forstod du ikke. Istedet skrev du din egen version af hvad jeg mente.
Men, pyt nu med det Mel, jeg har forstået hvad det egentlig handler om for dig.

Det tror jag inte ens att Klas själv tror att han har, om du noterar så står FRU i slutet och då åsyftas all föregående text
i VCs.
In essence a destroyed German AFV and the exit of two Ami AFVs counts as one building controlled (FRU).
Gary håller nog med Scotts tolkning:
Jeg har det fra Fortenberry direkte. Ikke andres fortolkning.
Gary håller nog med Scotts tolkning:
Og det er vel essentielt også det jeg siger.
Bortset fra at jeg kalder det "VP" i stedet for "counts as one building controlled"
Men det er vel også ligegyldigt, for den VC bliver mig bekendt ændret lidt når scenariet bliver submitted til MMP.
-
Så som jag tolkar denna så räknas varje tysk AFV som ett hus kontrollerat.
Samt att för varje två (FRU) US AFV som kör av brädet så räknas det som ett hus kontrollerat.
Mao:
1-2 AFV kör av brädet = 1 hus kontrollerat
3-4 AFV kör av brädet = 2 hus kontrollerat
5 AFV kör av brädet = 3 hus kontrollerat
Personligen har jag lite svårt att förstå varför det står "(FRU)" på slutet - om min tolkning är korrekt (vilket givetvis inte är säkert ),
så tycker jag att "(FRU)" borde ha stått så här istället, "Every two (FRU) US AFV..."
Klas har ret.
Original VC gav mulighed for 6 VP via afv exit/afv destruction. ASO VC gav mulighed for 4 VC via AFV exit/AFV destruction.
ORIGINAL
5 AFV exit (FRU) = 3 VP
3 AFV destroyed = 3VP
ASO VC
ORIGINAL
5 AFV exit + 3 AFV destroyed (FRU) = 4 VP maximum
-
7a som kommer i nästa Action Pack om Gary Fortenberry får till VCs så att de lätt kan missuppfattas av andra och Tournament directors i synnerhet - de ändrade VCs så att de blev lättare att vinna för britten men enligt Bo så blev det lättare för tysken han måst ha fått det om bakfoten.
Really ?
Original vc were - ONE vp for the brits per af german afv destroyed. Aso vc were 0,5 vp for the brits per german afv destroyed (fru). that seems to benefit the germans.
It wouldn't be ASO if Mel wasnt unhappy about something.

The ASO Website has been further updated:
- Added new ASO SSR
(In all scenarios, with building control, building hex control or building location control rubbled building hexes still counts for Victory Condition purposes. Note, falling rubble outside original building hexes does not count for Victory Condition Purposes. )
- Updated page for Friendly gaming with regards to equipment needed to be able to play the Fog of War scenarios
- Updated list of registered players. 49 total now.
-

Notera att det finns fel i scenario-listningen på: http://www.asl-so.dk/scenarios.htm
Tre av Journal 10 scenarion står listade med fel scenario-nummer:
J151 Messenger Boys
J155 Margeret Mixer
J160 Squeeze Play
Skall vara:
J152 Messenger Boys
J156 Margeret Mixer
J151 Squeeze Play
Dom hade andra nummer ett tag men numrerades om senare i tidsordning. Det kan även ha införts andra ändringar efter om-numreringen så har
ASO skickat ut scenario-filer med dom gamal numren så kanske inte som scenariona är "up-to-date" med dom slutgiltiga som kom i Journal 10.
Thanks Klas
There are no changes to the scenarios other than the added SSR to Squeeze Play (Crews may not abandon AFV's voluntarily). It was posted on the ASO website.
And
The ASO Website has been further updated:
- Added ABS for ASO 2013 to website
- Added ASO SSR to Squeeze play
- List of registered players has been updated.

Vad ska vi nu prata om då?
The good old days,
when the IIFT 3.5 column disrupted all fair tournament scenarios ... ah, those were the days ...
The website has been further updated.
Now include a list of ASL gear needed to play all the scenarios. And another clarification.
-
Thanks for the update Bo!
NP
Notice the big rule change ?
-
Jag gillar att ha allt på ett ställe, därför har jag kompilerat en sammanställning i bifogad PDF. Den saknar tyvärr scenario/runda, men det får man lösa på annat sätt.
Kommer kanske att uppdateras, och är kanske till glädje för nån...
We have added a pair of clarifications. And updated the rules section.

ASO 2011 - Results
The 14th edition of the ASL Scandinavian Open is in the books. 44 active players participated in the tournament stretching from Friday February 25th through Sunday February 27th 2011. The tournament was also visited by a handful of inactive players who did not participate in the tournament, including Christian Heerde from Germany who wandered the streets of Copenhagen for hours and hours on Friday trying to find the tournament venue.
In a highly competitive field the tournament found a new winner - Martin Svärd. The 7th player to win in Scandinavian Open history. Martin has been an ASO regular and solid performer since 2003. In the final game Martin defeated 3 time winner and 9 time finalist Melvin Falk after a memorable last turn. Martin and Melvin were playing DB083 "Block to Bataan" and in fairness things were looking very promising from Melvin (Japs), until ... and here's the story as I have heard it ... Martin was down to his last (broken) HS and it had to do the following in order to turn the game around :
1) Self Rally - check
2) CX and run across the open ground - check
3) Survive the defensive fire from multiple Japanese AFV's and squads without even pinning - check
4) Check for Battlehardening under fire without going beserk - check
5) Succeed a PAATC and advance into close combat against the Jap AFV's - check
6) Infiltrate the AFV's by rolling Snakeeyes - check
7) Withdraw from the CC into a vacant hex in the Victory Area - check
8) Stand in the street victorious - check
With that achieved, Martin claimed his first ASL Scandinavian Open Trophy. There's a lesson there boys and girls, don't stop playing until the game is technically unwinnable.
Melvin, finished 2nd in the standings. Klas Malmstrom (SW), Bjarne Marell (DK), Peter Struijf (NL) and Mattias Rönnblom (SW) also finished the tournament with 4-1 records.
The tournament was not only the 14th Edition of the ASL Scandinavian Open held in the National Arms Museum in Copenhagen - it was also the last. The venue which has served us well for so long is being rebuilt soon and will no longer be available for the tournament. But fear not, we will find a different tournament site for 2012.

The tournament also included 2 minitournaments on Saturday+Sunday, with 8 players participating. One Mini had 3 scenarios from the newly released Journal 9 and was won by Jes Touvdal (DK) as he swept through the 4 player round robin tournament. The other Mini had 3 carefully chosen scenarios from the Main Tournament. This Mini tournament was won by Patrik Manlig (SWE).
Other Competitions
Snakeeyes - Martin Houmøller (DK) 21. Interesting story, Martin used 3 of the 21 sets of Snakeeyes to get KIA's against 3 of his own SS Squads (+ a leader) as he paraded through his own minefield in Schloss Hemingstein. Unusual strategy.
Boxcars - Paolo Cariolato (IT) 30. With 30 boxcars in the tournament Paolo had 10 more than number 2 in this competition.
Close Combat VP - Bo Siemsen (DK) +29. Slaughtering conscripts, Greenies - and reckless Marines to perfection.
All results will be submitted to the European Rating list.
From ASO we thank you for your participation, and hope to see you all (and many more) show up again in 2012.
