The 2 Half-Squads

We are super excited to bring back one of Advanced Squad Leader's best contributors, Jim Bishop.  Jim will discuss the current status of his blog, his thoughts on the process of scenario design and his part in holding tournaments with Fortenberry. He will return on the next show for an in-depth look at his newest article on Tanks in the latest Journal. 

First, we have some banter about Space Food Sticks and Tang and other oddities while giving a sneak peek at some Swag from the next Grumbler Jones Tourney.

If you are ever in the Chicago area, you might want to lunch at Big Ange's. We love their BBQ.  Letters includes the usual variety of topics including VASL help, historical facts, compliments and criticism. 

Mike Ryzy joins us for part of the show (recorded last time).  What we have been playing lately are Scenario BFP-161 Red Ice and BFP-169 Last Minute Heroics.

Martin is in the wonderful suit.

Time to get back to an in depth interview with a famous Advanced Squad Leader player. That player is the marvelous and mighty Martin Vicca! He gives us a view from Aberdeen Scotland all about ASL, his history, his thoughts and opinions and his contributions to the Greatest Game in the World!
