Dave made it to March Madness and all Jeff got was a lousy T-Shirt. Actually it is a cool T-Shirt of the Korean design. Dave got the 2025 T from Kansas City ASL guys that has all participants on the back as various leader or Hero counters.
Opening song was a repeat from episode 204, DC Hero.

Playin’ ASL, in the P.T.O.
The Marines vs. Jappos, Code of Bushido
Read all the SSRs, and I started to scheme
Coming up with a plan, when I noticed something:
There is one DEMO, to blow stuff away
And with a gleam in my eyes, I knew I’d found the way:
There’s a Japanese private, in the Second World War
Wasn’t sure how to use one, but he knew for sure
That one DEMO, felt good in his hands
Didn’t take long, to understand
Just one DEMO, will beat the foe
But a one-way ticket, for DC heroes
So he did a banzai
No way he’d get dropped
With his H.E. man purse
Those Yankee Devils will be stopped!
By a DC Hero,
For Nippon he will die!
He’s a DC Hero
He’s got one DEMO,
DC Hero Yankees will die!
DC Hero
Yankees will die!
He won’t sur-vive this fight.
On a road without a name, out on Corregidor
There’s a Sherman Tank Dozer, stopped in hex G4
Yeah, this day is his last, filled with lots of pain
That one DEMO, gonna win the game
So he started chargin’
8 MF enough?
But if he gets wounded
Gettin to the target will be tough!
For a DC Hero
for Nippon he will die!
He’s a DC Hero
for Nippon he’ll die!
YEAH DC HERO
Nippon he’ll die!
That one DEMO,
Nippon he’ll die!
He’s gonna win
Gonna win tonight

So said the father to his son
“Cover the city on board one,
Same for the big hill to west
Whether in tournies or playtest.”
“Av’nues of approach you must scry
How else to make the en’my die?
Make sure to watch for fire lanes
And to play the bore sight game!”
“Cover the flanks
Against cavalry and tanks
Cover your front
With Fields of Fire!”
“Remember to pre-reg and deploy
Remember rout paths to destroy
Remember always play your best
Remember, ah, I forget the rest.”
