Bob Joins us again and we open with some BEARS talk, and since that will appeal to very few of you we also have a discussion about Peter Jackson's The Hobbit Trilogy and Russians in general. What we have been playing lately includes scenario ASL 173: Father Sunshine, and WO 20 Sealing Their Fate. What's in the box? gives us an opportunity to review the Russian counters from Broken Ground Design as well as the new Multi Man Publishing product for the Advanced Squad Leader game system, Hatten in Flames. While we have that game out in front of those the Muses spoke and asked us to do a Box Art Review. So we did.

LYRICS to "An Overun"
Lyrics by Dennis Donovan, Performed by Megan Kleinschmidt and The 2 Half Squad Singers
I saw him at the open and my heart stood still
I’ll do one one-one, an over run?
I needed some CVPs and it fit the bill
I’ll do one-one-one, an over run
Yeah, he’s on a hill , Yeah, an easy kill
Went into hex G1 one-one-one, an over run
Knew not what I was doing, but I had to try
I’ll do one-one-one, an over run
The con-cept seemed easy, but my-oh-my .
I’ll do one-one-one, an over run
Yeah, I had to try ... Yeah, it’s do-or-die ... Yeah, I love this rule.
To do one-one-one, an over run
I declared one-one, an over run
I’ll do one-one-one, an over run
I attacked with 7 FP and I rolled a 5
I did one-one-one, an over run
Rolls like that are gonna get his guys
I did one-one-one, an over run
Yeah, it went just fine ....Yeah, ‘till I hit that mine .....Yeah, if ya get immob’d
It’s half FP on, an over run
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
An over run run
I did one-one-one, an over run

A very Happy New Year to you all! We wish all of you the best for a wonderful 2019 and many
more. The power goes out on was while recording which proves to be a fortuitous event, because when we resume recording weeks later we are graced by a visit from Bob Holmstrom as he makes a return to the broadcast foxhole. During What's In The Box?, we look at many of Broken Ground's new counters for ASL, including the panzerfaust counters, the IIIFT residual and fire lane counters. There are also FFE counters that have the firepower of the OBA right on them. And if you are tired of using those motorcycle counters for your bicycles you will be thrilled to find these new bicycle counters that include pertinent information like the fact that bicycles gain movement when heading downhill. To wrap up this episode we play Quiz Show. So grab your bell and play along with us!

Holiday greetings listeners. We hope this yuletide season finds you all cheery and staying warm by the fire. What better time than this to have a cup of hot coco and have a listen to the one and only podcast dedicated nearly 100% to the greatest game in the world....Advanced Squad Leader. In this episode Dave compiles a set of recordings he had hanging around on his computer, including a look at a scenario or two with local ASLer's Mark Woods, Doug Gries, Bob Holmstrom, and Dave Timonen, and the guys from St. Louis, Jeff Ital and Jim Burris. Megan joins us to read some letters in Jeff's absence. We finish up with a look at Broken Ground Designs Berserk counters and a reading of the footnotes to Tarawa. Listen while you drive and enjoy.

SMC's A Goner
Concept: D. Wallick
Lyrics: D. Wallick, D. Donovan
Vocals: Stephen Stewart Mixing/Technical: Jim, the Mix-Master Bera Sung to The Smiths' song "Girlfriend In A Coma"
Leader blew morale check, oh no!
I know, it’s serious
He was already broken, ya know
I know, it’s really serious
And do I want him to roll a wound check? No!
‘Cuz ya know, I would hate anything to happen to him
No, I don’t want to lose him
Do you really think he'll survive?
Do you think he’ll roll less than ‘5’?
Duuuuuuu-uuuuuuuude.
SMC’s a goner, ya know
I know it’s serious
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, my buddy
Goodbye
There were times when I could have rallied him
‘Cuz you know, it’s not like he’s a 10-2 and he just got
Got a field promotion
Now he's taking the check, time to fret
And he rolled a ‘5’ and he died.
Doooooo’oooooh!
Let me whisper a few bad words
I know it's serious

Hear the dulcet tones of Dave's nose flute, as well as Jeff's new flute provided to The 2 Half-Squads courtesy of Bill Forg and his amazing 3-D printer.
Many of you have been waiting a long time for the return of Box Art Review. The fine art chosen this episode is from Winter Offensive Pack #9. Pull up an image from your google search and have a gander. Beware, it is quite frightening......and just in time for Halloween!
Dave covers a playing of scenario WO11 Across The Issel and scenario ASL172 The Last Attack. We also have a wonderful interview with Chris Garret from the ASL Open.
The contest for the free copy of YANKS ends November 22nd. We already have tons of entries. Good luck to all you Yankee Devils.
