The 2 Half-Squads

Episode 191: No Death Threats Please

YeeeeHaaa! Welcome y'all. Have you ever wondered what is going on in our crazy society today? We sure have. Fake news, rude behavior, random death threats. And after all that we get into the greatest game in the world, Advanced Squad Leader!  There is also a quick review of the Churchill film Darkest Hour. In the box is a game Jeff has long sought after and finally received thanks to listener Stephen Banks, Red Barricades. You can also get a sneak preview of Broken Ground's new and amazing counters for ASL, right here on this show. Pretty cool. And, if you ever wondered what would happen if you called the old Avalon Hill phone number, you can find out by listening.

Episode 190: A New Years' Potpourri

Dave fails to stop the Italian tanks.Happy New Years everyone!  This is a collection of recordings we have made throughout 2017 and never used in an episode. Then we added some new stuff today. You will find a little Tom Barkalow, Rick Hollander, Aaron Kleinschmidt, as well as a bit of Dave and Jeff and a lot of Advanced Squad Leader talk.  Aaron and Dave open with some letters. Tom and Dave share an in depth scenario analysis of Broken Grounds' scenario Pad 4: Iron Coffins. We gave the wrong scenario name in the audio.  Sorry.  There also is quite an inconsistent sound quality due to the variety of recording sources.  Quite a potpourri.

Happy Holidays All!  Jump into the Broadcast Foxhole with us and learn about......what else really? Foxholes! That's right, our Terrain Time Training brings you the foxhole rules. Did we tell you that Dave ordered a nice Christmas gift for himself from Ritterkrieg.  It included the U.S. Airborne! dice from Battle School and the amazing From the Cellar Pack 8 from Le Franc Tireur.  

 

We'd also like to thank our Patreon patrons for sticking with us and showing their superb support even through the recent snafu perpetrated by Patreon.  Remember that Patreon subscribers get special bonus material that currently consists of readings of Banzai Magazine from our friends in Texas. That way you can listen while you drive.... or paint miniatures.

Episode 188: Dave and Jeff Save the World

After the fantastic interview last show, we couldn't really follow it up with anything as great as that, so we decided to clean out some letters,  bring you what's new in the Advanced Squad Leader world with In The News, and talk about scenarios we have played lately.  Simple, yet beautiful.   Enjoy.

Episode 187: Cool Katz in Korea

When you can snag interviews with people the likes of Ken Katz, you've got an excellent show with The Forgotten War, Korea 1950-1953.  Ken does an outstanding job giving us the run down on the development, history, boards, counters and rules of this fascinating new module. We are really looking forward to this one. 

very little effort on the part of the interviewers.   You also don't need to edit a whole lot. Ken brings us the inside scoop on the soon to be released (well, soon is a relative term) Multi-Man ASL product

Episode 186: Very Scary Show

Happy Halloween All. We bring you a very scary show for this very scary season. Hear lot's of interesting ideas, thoughts and suggestions from our listeners as we share their letters. These letters also include some film suggestions and Advanced Squad Leader tournament announcements.  Listen closely as we determine the winners of the contest and see if you are one of the lucky ones.  Our contest participates answer the question "what would you like to see more of in ASL?".  They have some great ideas. Scenario designers listen up.
