I laughed a lot, had a really good time listening to you both and even learned a few things. However, after two days and 9 episodes, back to back, I had to admit to that it wouldn't bother me if I didn't hear your voices for a while. No disrespect intended but I now hear your voices in my dreams.

I have an old brain and will just have to get used to that fact (partially true, partially kidding). Bottom line is Joe is a great addition to the show, and your feedback is always valuable.

We will have a lot of strategy suggestions in the next episode, and in plain english. I am seriously thinking about a logo and a T-shirt but need some time to get it done. Glad to hear you might be interested. Dave (of Dave and Jeff) Mark, Thanks for the suggestions! We will have a lot of strategy suggestions in the next episode, and in plain english.

Kudos! As an ASL beginner i'd appreciate: - segments on ASL tactics - segments explaining rules sections in plain english (routing for example) - an introduction to armor in ASL Also, where can I order a 2 Half-Squads T-shirt? (hint, hint) :-) Great show, 2HS is my favorite podcast. Kudos!

You are wrong about Joe having more experience. I have the most. I think the difference might be that Joe is careful to prepare in advance and Jeff and I enjoy the informal banter. I realize I say I think a lot even when I am sure, so I will try to stop doing that. I don't perceive myself as struggling with anything really. The hits do include the itunes downloads cause I looked at the hits stats yesterday and it clearly said itunes on some of the hits. Dave (of Jeff and Dave) You are right about the level thing.

Writing to say that, in the episode 9 ‘cast, you confirmed something I’ve always suspected: The building level rules are easier for us Brits to handle than for you in the US. Over here we refer to the level 0 (at ground level ) as the ‘ground floor’ in real life buildings. For us the ‘first floor’ is the first floor above ground level. You can see therefore that the ‘1st level’ in ASL equates to our real-world ‘first floor,’ and so on. Lucky us. I think 9 was possibly the best episode yet. Continuing to enjoy the podcast and particularly so when you have your more experienced friend Joe in there with you. I hope you’re not offended if I point out that he brings something to the podcast which the less experienced presenters struggle. As a very experienced player myself I do like to hear another experienced player on the podcast. I’d be interested to know whether the ‘hits’ you talk about are for the site only or whether they include the people like myself who have iTunes (or other podcast client software), which download the podcasts automatically for us to listen to where and when we like.

We have been trying to develop a chip of the ASLRB that can be implanted in your head. Our aging brains need it. Sounds like your technique is the next best thing.

Nice to hear Joe again. I really enjoy your podcast and I hope you guys have as much fun making it as it sounds like. I confess I have made some audio readings of the ASLRB and put them on my ipod. I have a job where I have lots of listening time and its nice to pound those ASL rules into my brain. Yes, it's dry as toast, but every once and a while it's fun and you catch little things each time you listen. Keep up the good work! Great show! Nice to hear Joe again.

Jeff will probably want to so I hope he doesn't see your comment. We don't do a lot of history segments so you won't hear it very often. I suppose it is a little long but I love that kind of stuff, with the speeches and the war sound effects. It fires my imagination. Does anyone else out there like the speech collage? I ordered a set of the thin boards so I'll have doubles. Jeff should look into it . Thanks for the input.

Loved it the first time but now i just fast forward past it. MMP reprinting paper/card maps....... looks good for completing your collection.

I have Action Pack 4 but haven't played anything out of it yet. You guys really made it sound interesting. In the "Apples to Apples" scenario, I would be afraid of entering on the open field board because of the awaiting hidden Panther. I would take my chances with the board filled with bocage. (I guess the halftracks full of squads would come in last in either case). This scenario definitely sounds like one to try. Good episode.
