Nor'easter Advanced Squad Leader Tournament

 

The ASL Nor'easter is New England's regional ASL championships.  It is held annually near Boston, MA.  It is a yearly get-together of people in the New England area that play Advanced Squad Leader (ASL). The Nor'easter is hosted and directed by the boys from the Bunker and the Yankee ASL Group.

Main Tournament
The tournament is a swiss format, with prizes for first, second, third and third place. Players choose from seven scenarios per round. Five or six rounds of play are required to select the winners. There is one round Friday, three Saturday, and one or two on Sunday.

Armor Mini Tournament
This two-round armor mini starts Friday at noon and ends Friday evening. Registration is limited to four participants, and lasts three rounds. This mini-is for you if you enjoy lots of hardware but still want to participate in the main tournament on Saturday and Sunday.

Big Mo-Fo Tournament
This three round tournament lasts for the entire weekend. Rather than playing those "wimpy" short scenarios you see in the main tournament you are challenged to play big, beefy scenarios. Each day of the convention you will play a different, large scenario. This tournament is limited to eight participants.

Mini Tournament
Starts Satuday morning at 8:00am, ending Saturday evening. Registration is limited to eight participants, and lasts three rounds. This tournament is for you if you're an experienced ASL player and are only going to attend on Saturday!

Visitors are very welcome, and you'll probably be able to play a game if you want to learn. Have a look at the archived web sites for previous Nor'easters to see what the event is like.
