Episode 241: Konigsberg and Korea
Sunday Mar 01, 2020
Sunday Mar 01, 2020
Learning often happens best by repetition, so why not give our past shows a listen while you wait for
the latest one to drop?
Tolkien's Letters, 1917, and The Witcher are the core of the discussion in the 0% ASL part of the show. Take a look, along with us, at the new game by Lone Canuck. It is The Battle of Konigsberg: The Bear's Revenge. Wow! The maps in this game are surely a step up from most of the maps you see produced for Advanced Squad Leader. We end the show with a discussion/after action report of our playing of Scenario 203: Hard ROK from MMP's Forgotten War.
Roll low and rally well, but not when you're playing us!
End of turn 3 maybe |

Episode 240: Game of the Rising Sun
Monday Feb 17, 2020
Monday Feb 17, 2020
Our banter includes a little bit about long range guns and such in WWI and buzz bombs in WWII. Some random thoughts occur on systems of government; their meaning and intent. If you are going for broke on the Broken Ground Design British counters, please note that your entry is due by March 15th at the latest. Listen closely for the specific instructions to get into the drawing. Jeff takes us on a walk through Spilky chart #11. We round out the hour with Dave K, Mike R, Dave T, and Chris W discussing their first impressions of their first Korean scenario in a round table type format. Roll low and rally well, but not when you're playing us!

You may want to listen to our Banter in this show, we discuss our various medical problems so.....yeah....on second thought......maybe you won't want to....too much information.
If you came here for ASL all the time, you came to the mostly right place. The good news is that you can learn a lot about defensive fire in our rules segment. Listen along and see what you know about the rules, and what you can learn about the rules of the greatest game in the world, Advanced Squad Leader. Woof, Woof.

Buon Giormo, O e la sera dove sei?
We are happy to bring you the tale of Jeff's Italian Trip. Sadly he could not meet up with the gentlemen from the new Italian game company Advancing Fire. Get over there and pre-order Brevity Assault and Biazza Ridge. Our "Letters" segment provides a delizioso distraction and Advanced Squad Leader talk.
In case you are wondering after you listen, those are not actually the sounds from the Victory at Sea album. Did you know that there are a ton of ezines published by the Texas ASL guys? The mag is called Banzai!!; and we review volume 24 issue 2 in this show. It has a great article for making a Banzai charge in ASL Starter Kit.
Caio!

Tuesday Dec 17, 2019
Greetings Cheery Holiday Listeners,
We believe you will forgive our slightly longer than usual banter, when you hear the heartfelt sharing that is included therein. Please remember to see your doctor. In our Rules segment we cover First Fire rules and marvel that it took us nearly eleven years to get to them. Learn all about First Fire in our usual kind of quiz show format. You get to see what you know as you try to guess the answers along with us. Review those FFMO and FFNAM modifiers while you listen.
Get over to the new Italian ASL company and pre-order Brevity Assault and Biazza Ridge.
