Lock down continues. The Skype recording is a little sketchy on Dave's end but acceptable. Since we recorded this show the ASL Open has canceled as have most of our tournaments. The Texas ASL tourney is still on as of now. It is not scheduled to happen for several months yet. We open the most excellent New England Volunteers Pack as well as an interesting gift from Dennis. Subsequent First Fire is the topic of our rules section today, and we are joined by a special quest for said segment.

The enthusiasm of Derek Ritter is contagious and it makes for a wonderful interview even though Jeff and Dave were not in the broadcast foxhole together for the first time. Skype seems to suffice as Derek calls in to tell us all about the gaming stuff happening in North Carolina area, the tournament there, and all the new products that have hit the ASL market lately. There is a lot to hear here so have a listen. Let Derek's fire get you fired up for some Advanced Squad Leader play during your Coronavirus lock down!

Episode 241: Konigsberg and Korea

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.
