We apologize for the bad audio quality in the first 8 minutes. Dave attended the ASL Open, even though he didn't play, he had a great time (surprisingly) watching Rich Spilky and Wes Vaughn play ASL 21 The Professionals. You can hear a discussion of it during banter. The winner of Critical Hit's Arnhem: The Third Bridge is announced. Terrain Time teaches you how to place and avoid anti-tank mines as you play with armored fighting vehicles.

Greetings Advanced Squad Leader Fanatics! Welcome to the show. Loose ends get tied up as we finish our review of LFT 14. Achtung Minen! Yes, learn your mine rules right here and right now but watch your step, we don't want you to go Kablooey. Terrain Time in a nice quiz type format covers those rules as well as wire rules.

Greetings Brothers of the ASL Rule Book,
We hope you are doing well and that you will enjoy the wonderful opening song performed 100% (and we mean it when we say it this time) by Jeff Hallett. We remind our listeners of our contest to win Arnhem: The Third Bridge by Critical Hit. Enter by April first, and no, we are not fooling. The majority of this effort centers on Le Franc Tireur's newest magazine, issue #14. Inside you will find the history of the Italians in WWII and in ASL. It includes a full set of Italian counters with additional paratroops as well as many scenarios. In the What's in the Box portion of the show, Jeff discusses the card type game Mighty Little Defenders and Dave discusses, ASL Scenario SV3 Absolute Markajarvi.

Interesting listeners want to know. Is it Dave and Jeff, or Jeff and Dave? Well everyone knows that these things are done alphabetically. That would make Dave and Jeff the official way of addressing the hosts of The Two Half-Squads, the one and only podcast dedicated 100% to the greatest game in the world: Advanced Squad Leader.
In this episode lot's o' lovely letters from our lucky listeners cover such topics as tournament announcements and other things of ASL interest. We review Arnhem: The Third Bridge by Critical Hit and offer it up as the perfect prize in for our newest contest. To win this CH product simply send us an email with "Dave and Jeff" in the subject line, or "Jeff and Dave", but putting "Dave and Jeff" will get you entered into the contest TWICE. You will need to pay part of the shipping unless you live in the continental U.S.
Our What's in the Box segment also includes a look at Broken Ground Design's full compliment of full color Axis Minor counters for use with Advanced Squad Leader.

Nadir Elfarra of Advanced Squad Leader Fame |
We actually never discuss the ASL Ladder. We just put it into the title because it rhymes with Nadir, our guest. Nadir Elfarra has been a long time contributor to the world of Advanced Squads Leader. He was with the players around Los Angeles, Mark Neukom Steve Dethlefson and Eddie Zeman and many others who were all producing ASL stuff.
He has worked on Parkers Crossroads, done lot's of art for various publications. Operation Watchtower was his design and his original map can be found here at Desperation Morale, Nadir has been a play tester and proof reader for Decision Games as well as Multi-Man Publishing.
The quality of the audio varies but shouldn't be too distracting.
This interview is loaded. Enjoy.
