Episode 275: DC Dynamos

Episode 275?  Wow! Where did the time go?  We couldn't think of any better guests to bring on to such a momentous show than these two distinguished gents from the DC Conscripts; Andy Goldin and John Gorkowski.  It's a rollicking and rolling interview about all things ASL but especially about the East Coast gaming scene.  Enjoy.

Episode 274: Brevity Biazza Booyah!

We'd like to make a confession.... we incorrectly named the Bravo Biazza show.
We meant to call it the Bravo Brevity show.  So, while both shows are about two of the great new games from Advancing Fire, this show covers Brevity Assault. This system uses some colored lines to delineate the levels on the map. Fantastic touch!  Dave gives a run down of the scenarios contained therein. Join us!

Eoisode 273: You Bet Paul Works!

Paul Works is a contributor to the Advanced Squad Leader Hobby who has been doing so for a long time. He helped get the Kansas City March Madness Tournament going when Mike Reed (Episode 267) had to stop. Paul has a long and storied involvement with wargames and ASL in particular. He also works with the Navy and gets to play wargames there too.  What a job! What an ASL contributor!

 

It's another great interview that you will not want to miss.

Episode 272: Bravo Biazza!

This show opens with some lovely letters and then an in depth look at Biazza Ridge from Advancing Fire.  Our very special guest Mike Ryzy helps us to give a run down of how this new mini campaign works. It is more of a group of connected and related scenarios that can be traced on a large operational map. This fantastic new offering is sadly, sold out, at this point in time.  You can still get the 2nd game from Advancing Fire; Brevity Assault, from their website and other retail outlets. We will provide a look at that game a few shows from now. Look for it soon.

Episode 271: Editor Extraordinaire Klas Malmstrom

Two back to back amazing interviews. Wow! (If we do say so ourselves).  

Have you ever wondered how SSR's are written so that they have some consistency? Have you ever wondered if Advanced Squad Leader games could have been even more complex than they already are? Well, the answers to these fascinating questions can be found right here in our interview with the amazing Klas Malmstrom.
