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!

| Banozic, Emberton and Forg |
What a treasure trove of an interview! We've got it right here for ya brothers and sisters. It is the legendary and lyrical Robert Banozic. He is joined by Will Forg, and Zach Emberton, Together they reminisce and pontificate on all things ASL. Robert was one of the first names that early Advanced Squad Leader players recognize from his days in the early Chicago scene and his writings in many prominent publications, Backblast, The General and the Annual among others.
We forgot our ads in this one so thanks to our sponsors, Bounding Fire Productions, Ritterkrieg and Broken Ground Designs.

Dave, Jeff and guess who? Listener Mark Kraatz at Gen Con |
Did you know at Gen Con we were just walking down the street and someone yelled "Is that Dave and Jeff?" Would you believe it was listener Mark Kratz? We also discuss the longest ASL scenario ever played. MMP's Messenger Boys. It took well over a year and a half. Lets see you take that long to play a scenario. In the box is Winter Offensive Pack #9 . We snagged a nice interview at the ASL Open with Wes Vaughn and Doug Kirk. Cople of real great guys. Two finer gentlemen you could not meet.

Fall is fast approaching and so is the next episode.
We just can't believe how fast time flies. Or how long this episode is. It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating #200 together. In this show Dave confesses his big mistake in tracking what we have covered and have not covered in the rules so far, he apologizes for covering the infantry fire rules again. Therefore, we cover the rules from opportunity fire to rule 7.32. Our goal is to cover the entire Advanced Squad Leader rule book before we conclude this show. After that Dave presents the first eight or so of the scenarios from the Forgotten War module. Boy, they look neat! To steal a pun from Donovon. They ROK!
How about that opening song? The lyrics were provided by Rob Banozic and the song was performed by The 2 Half Squad Singers.

REALLY HOT SNAKE-EYES
(to the tune of "Bette Davis Eyes"
Lyrics by Rob Banozic)
His rolls are always low
I've never seen 'em high
His dice are never cold
He's got really hot snake-eyes
He'll turn the MGs on you
You won't pass a check twice
It's cold as East Front snow
He's got really hot snake-eyes
And they'll break you, they'll crit-hit you
They're the bones that will defeat you
They're atrocious, 'cause he always gets the
Rolls that make the stacks crush
God! why do I always roll so high, he's got really hot snake-eyes
You like your +3 stone
The place to stand and fight
But all you do is moan
He's got really hot snake-eyes
He'll take a '1' shot on you
And roll those wicked dice
Until you give up, too
He's got really hot snake-eyes
They'll DM you, when he plays you
Trash your plan with the dice he loans you
They're ferocious 'cause he always gets the
Rolls that make the stacks crush
All the boys think it's just fine, to get really hot snake-eyes
And they'll break you, they'll crit-hit you
They're the bones that will defeat you
They're atrocious, 'cause he always gets the
Rolls that make the stacks crush
All the boys think it's just fine, to get really hot snake-eyes
