Episode 234: Hooked on the Swedish

What a great opening song, thanks to Dennis and Steve again! Speaking of the Swedish Volunteer pack Dave discusses his latest game from said pack, SV9 Mexico and Morocco.  A new segment about books premieres in this episode. You may be saying to yourself...."self, haven't the Half-Squads always talked about WWII books?" And you would be correct, however Dave's review of Brackman's book about the Tokyo War Trails, titled The Other Nuremberg, goes into more detail than the normal banter.

We finally get to taking a gander at Advanced Squad Leader Starter Kit #4 thanks to Ritterkrieg.com.

Hooked on the Swedish

 

Concept:  The2HalfSquads

 

Lyrics:  Dennis Donovan

I just played the Swedish
Versus the Ruskis
Somewhere in North Finland
1943

Yeah, I saw those
Counters blue on white
For the first time
Earlier tonight, now..

 

I…, I’m hooked on the Swedish
And I don’t mean IKEA
I mean the Volunteers

 

The Swede pack’s sweet as candy
But it’s hard to find
It runs about one thirty
From an auction house on-line

It’s quite the smorgasbord:
14 scenarios
One hundred plus counters
Historical notes

Chapter H and
Chapter A updates
Give it a whirl
It will turn you on

I..., I’m hooked on the Swedish
And I don’t mean IKEA
I mean the Volunteers

 

Go and get one
Before they’re all gone
Give it a whirl
Get your ASL game on!

I, I’m hooked on the Swedish
And I don’t mean IKEA
I mean the Volunteers

I’m hooked on the Swedish
And I don’t mean IKEA
mean the Volunteers

Said I’m hooked on the Swedish
And I don’t mean IKEA
I mean that ABBA band...
