The 2 Half-Squads

Summer is passing quickly and we are celebrating the 250th celebration of the birth of the United States of America!   We read some letters and are glad to welcome Mike Ryzy back into the Broadcast Foxhole. What we have been playing lately covers Mike's cow scenarios, and Dave and Dave's playing of Scenario BFP-174 The Castle of Onega. In the rules segment we cover the ever important rules D12 and D15 (part one, to be continued in episode 390). Did you know that sledges have reindeer pulling them?  How cool is that!?!  We think that you need to learn to drive your motorcycle like Steve McQueen in the Great Escape!  So have a listen to this show. You will be glad
that you did. How about that comedy bit? Thank you to Dennis, once again!

Once again, we are super excited to bring back one of Advanced Squad Leader's best contributors, Jim Bishop.  Jim will discuss the in-depth look at his newest article on Tanks in the latest Journal. You will learn how to use tanks to sleeze freeze other tanks, how to win the gun duel, what factors to check before the game to help secure your well deserved victory, and many other things about armored warfare in ASL.  

No banter today. Well it is at the end.

If you are ever in the Chicago area, you might want to lunch at Big Ange's. We love their BBQ.  Letters includes the usual variety of topics including VASL help, historical facts, compliments and criticism. 

Mike Ryzy joins us for part of the show (recorded last time).  What we have been playing lately are Scenario BFP-161 Red Ice and BFP-169 Last Minute Heroics.

Mr. Donovan has provided the opening song and we would like to thank him for it!  Where is that rule??

In our rules segment we cover rule D8: Immobilization and Bog. Break out your beanies, we broke ours. Listen to the rules. It might help you remember.  In the Box is Winter Offensive Bonus Pack 17.

Martin is in the wonderful suit.

Time to get back to an in depth interview with a famous Advanced Squad Leader player. That player is the marvelous and mighty Martin Vicca! He gives us a view from Aberdeen Scotland all about ASL, his history, his thoughts and opinions and his contributions to the Greatest Game in the World!
