It's a rip roaring show that will give you cause to open up an investigation of this terribly illicit and nefarious episode. Our letters segment begins a bidding war between listener's who don't want Parody Songs, and those that do! Please send us your bid. We accept Cash, services, and Patreon Donations. 

We are highly recommending the two books, that we review. They are ANGEL DOWN and 60 DAYS IN COMBAT.  In the Box we find  Brick Works from Broken Ground and Drop Zone: Chef du Pont by MMP.

Counterstruck   

To AC-DC’s “ Thunderstruck”

Concept & Lyrics: Dennis Donovan

Vocals & Mixing:  Stephan Stewart

So I thought

In the middle of an ASL match (Counter!)

I looked ‘round

And I knew there was something I lacked (Counter!)

My mind raced,

And I thought what could I do? (Counter!)

And I knew

A named counter, I needed one too (Counter!)

One with MY name 

I figured out

Getting ones tough

That tore me apart

I’ve been

Counterstruck!

 

Well maybe someday?

Nah, forget it, but then this went down:

Went to the Texas, Team Tourney and I saw me some

They had counters 

Counter sheets with attendee’s names

They are so cool

They’re all 9-2s

Yeah, yeah they, they blew my mind

And I was shaking at the knees

I just could not believe

What an amazing find

I’ve been

Counterstruck

 

I was shaking at the knees

There was a counter of me!

 

Counter struck, Counterstruck, Counter struck, Counterstruck

It’s alright, I just got mine

It’s alright, I’m lookin’ fine, fine, fine……

 

 We polish off the last of the interviews from March Madness in Kansas City with Jerry James and Philip Wethington.  They discuss their gaming history, habits and favorite opponents among much more!

LYRICS to "An Overrun"
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
.....If ya get immobilized

It’s half FP on, an over run

We are so glad to have Richard Logan on the show today. He discusses being in the reserves, ASL as a training device, his gaming history, what he has been playing lately as well as his plans for designing scenarios. It is wonderful to hear from an "average" Advanced Squad Leader fan, who is anything but.
