The 2 Half-Squads

We announce the winner of the last contest and give details about our newest one. If you want to win these Schwerepunkt scenario packs you might have to break out of your comfort zone. But you can do so anonymously. Dave recounts his second spill while Kayaking. He definitely did not want more of that, eh?  We finish covering Rule 19: Unit Substitution. Then take an in depth look at the scenarios from March Madness 2019 Close Combat Pack. We received copies of the latest from The Kansas City gents and will cover those on a future show.

Wow, yet another product to review. In the Box is Drop Zone Sainte-Mere-Eglise.  Check out that whopping, over seven foot long, full color, kind of kinky, map board. Do you like hedgerows? We like hedgerows. The cows in France are not holy, they may even be....unholy!  At least when they die they do take on a Salvador Dali look. 

 

We introduce a new segment where we search Advanced Squad Leader topics on ChaGPT and see what we get. Let us know what you think. 

Some letters topics include the ASL Periodic Table by Dennis Donovan. Take a look, it's a whole lot of fun.

We titled this one "deuxiem partie" to make us seem smart. Did it work? 

No matter your answer, we present the rest of the Advanced Squad Leader Journal #13. You probably have noticed that the cover of said journal is unique among ASL Art.  You are, most likely, therefore hoping for a BAR - Box Art Review. It is your lucky day. Box Art Review returns.  

Some banter topics include ChatGPT, the Second Front Computer game, and the wonderful ASL Players.Net.  Cool stuff.
