The 2 Half-Squads

Episode 5

In Episode 5 we interview Robert (Bob) Holmstrom, one of our favorite local ASL masters. Bob chats about his ASL history, discusses tournaments, helps us with the "What's in the Box" segment (it's Valor of the Guards!) and more. We hope you like it.

Episode 4

It's our first show since going public. We've had nearly a thousand listeners and have received some very positive and encouraging responses. A special "thank you" to all of you who took the time to write a comment or send us an email. Your input and support is very important to us. We love hearing from you! In this episode, we read some of the listener feedback. Then, in our Favorite Scenarios segment, Dave picks a battle with an extra dimension of excitement from the "Partisan" module, while Jeff continues with updates from the "Blood Reef: Tarawa" campaign (we'll be posting pictures on this soon). Dave tells us "What's in the Box?", we play the ASL Quiz Show, and Dave gives an interesting history lesson. And, of course, we have lots of fun. We hope you enjoy this episode! As always, thanks to Penmachine.com for providing our theme music.

Episode 2

Undaunted by the mistakes and problems in Episode 1, we plunge ahead for 78 thrill-packed minutes.. This time we talk about the release of the long-awaited “Valor of the Guards”. We wonder about how many ASL players there are in the world. Jeff whips out the “Top Ten” list: “Why You Should Play ASL”. Of course we play “What’s in the Box?” and discuss a favorite scenario. Then Dave reveals a short list of rules that he used to forget and gives a little WW II history lesson.

Episode 1

Here we go with our first episode. This is our first experience with podcasting, too. We’ve scraped together some equipment, loaded up some software and popped open a couple of cool beers. We learned a lot and discovered some better ways of doing things, but rather than re-record the show, we’re publishing it as is and you can expect much better production values in future episodes. We had some technical difficulties with the audio on this web site. The embedded player does not work for this episode. You will have to download this episode.
