Episode 262: LC Not Elsie


Hope you enjoy the wonderful opening song by with lyrics by Chris Gammon and sung by The 2 Half Squads Singers. The lyrics are printed below. Some great ASLer's chime in like Alan Hume and Scott Mullins through the magic of voicemail. And that gave us the idea for our next contest. 

We have a contest ending January 15th. You need to call in using the button on the right side of the web page and give a "Shout Out"  to a cool alser that you know and would like to recognize in public. Then you will be entered into the contest and we will draw the winner on January 16th.   

We finish out the show with part one of an in depth look at the Landing Craft Rules from chapter G.

O' Gammon Bomb
Concept and Lyrics by Chris Gammon
Performed by The 2 Half Squad Singers 

Oh Gammon Bomb, Oh Gammon Bomb,
An SSR doth grant me.
Your like an ATMM thing
Just tossing one, pulls the ring.

Oh Gammon Bomb, Oh Gammon Bomb,
Your minus three enthralls me,
A low die roll is what it takes
Please no misses or PIN mistakes.

Oh Gammon Bomb, Oh Gammon Bomb,
Make toasty flame come easy.

Oh Gammon Bomb, Oh Gammon Bomb,
I need five more CVP
My opponnent did it again
He overan my best men. 

Oh Gammon Bomb, Oh Gammon Bomb,
Let my revenge come swiftly.

Episode 260: Heard of Elk

Dave recounts his vacation to The Great Smoky Mountains, The Shawnee National Forest and Belmont University during the intro talk, while Jeff recounts his recent Sword of Rome game. In the Box is the Starter Kit Expansion Pack #2.  This expansion includes the new Chinese, some new Japanese, and the first overlays for SK Advanced Squad Leader players. Two boards, eight scenarios, and some new weapons make it an interesting addition indeed. What we have been playin' lately is HS10 Chesty's Turn  from MMP's Operation Watchtower (we apologize for forgetting we are recording for an audio podcast and not referring to hex numbers enough).  We finish up with another look in the box at Swedish Volunteers original and Mult-man Publishing versions.

Episode 257: My Deer Friend

If you haven't gotten the new Rat Pack Charts from Le Franc Tireur, have a listen to our detailed look at them and see if you don't think you need them after all. We have a good time discussing the scenarios we have played lately, HS4 High Water Mark from Operation Watchtower. Dave and Jeff played that one. We also cover scenario HS27 Lawless Ways from Operation Veritable. Dave got a game in with his som Adam, scenario OB3 Brasche Encounter. By playing these games we realized that you get a whole lot of bang for your buck with Advanced Squad Leader games (especially the Bounding Fire Productions products). We bought them a while ago and are only now finishing them off. If you play them twice you can have twice as much fun. Why not three times?

Episode 256: Goldman's Gold

Todays show covers the terrain gems from Onslaught to Orsha II. That includes slopes, culverts, cupolas and a little bit more. We do apologize for the poor audio quality. Covid is taking it's tech toll.

We follow that up with an in depth report from David Goldman about the ASL Open's first fully remote tournament played on VASL.There is a lot of valuable information in this interview. It's golden. You can learn about the in's and out's of such an endevour. Did you know that players still have conflicts regarding available time when they play digitally, even though the schedule is expanded?  Did you know that some players don't play on VASL?  What Rubes!  We've been playin' on VASL since way back in....since....well...oh wait, yeah...nevermind.  We wouldn't want to call any newcomers names.  How rude would that be?

Chas’ Job (Sung to the Tune of Jessie' Girl) 
Lyrics: Dennis Donovan
Performed by: The 2 Half-Squad Singers. 

Chas he is this guy,
Yeah, I knows he plays a favorite game of mine
And he works for a company that’s always on my mind
Chas has got himself a job and I want to make it mine

'Cuz he gets free stuff all the time
And he gets paid to go to ASLOCK, I just know it
Yeah ‘n’ he’s designing stuff with the guys,
Late, late at night

You know, I wish that I had Chas’ job!
I wish that I had Chas’ job!
Where can I find employment like that?

Yes, ya know he has it made
He makes 600K a year, plus some change
You know, I feel so jealous ‘cuz his job’s A-S-L, dude
And he gets to go on Gamesquad forums and answer questions, too

‘Cause he’s playtesting with the guys
And he’s workin’ in the game industry, don’t ya know it
And he’s taking it by storm
You got that right

You know, I wish that I had Chas’ job
I wish that I had Chas’ job
Where can I find employment like that?
Like Chas’ job

I wish that I had Chas’ job
Where can I find employment
Where can I find employment like that?

And I’m lookin’ on his website all the time
Wondering why he won’t hire me
Ask my buddies, I’ve tried since ‘09
Guess I should re-submit my resume

Tell me, where can I find employment like that?
You know, I wish that I had Chas’ job
I wish that I had Chas’ job
I want Chas’ job

Where can I find employment like that
Like Chas’ job
I wish that I had Chas’ job
I want, I want Chas’ job

Episode 252: Too Much Good Stuff, You Hexy Thing!

It was such a pleasure to talk with Michael Koch in our second episode on the ASL scene in Germany. The discussion covers WWII sites to see in Germany when you attend the Grenadier Tournament, the history of ASL, and the wonderful fact that there is just too much good Advanced Squad Leader stuff being published today. What a problem to have! Michael also gives us a detailed look at what it takes to run a tournament and chats about his love for the Hatten in Flames campaign game.  And so much more.

'You Hex-y Thing' (Armoured Fighting Vehicles)

Lyrics by Clinton Paine, Performed by The 2 Half-Squad Singers

Armoured fighting vehicles
Wend along this hex-y thing
My armoured fighting vehicles
Could be moving wrong on this hex-y thing

With my first armoured OB
Move crew exposed down the open road
Roll for ESB, I need this speed so badly
My MMCs approach defending infantry
In PFPh I was shooting at some people
Now they're firing back at me on the IFT

But my armoured fighting vehicles
Overrun the hex they're in
And my armoured fighting vehicles
Keep rolling on, on this hex-y thing

Where did you come from AT shell?
How did you know where to conceal those guns?
Did you know this game is everything I play for?
Learn the rules, every night and day for?
Then today I play my first combined-arms action
Now you're firing next to me, giving it to me

My armoured fighting vehicles
Have nowhere to run on this hex-y thing
My armoured fighting vehicles’
PRCs long for their next of kin

Oh! Curse you, you hex-y thing
Point blank fire from the hex you're in
There's no way you can miss my side armour, these flanks are thin
Oh! It's snake eyes, this hexing thing

Yesterday I mortar bombed those lonely people
Now your rate of fire sprees serve it back to me

My armoured fighting vehicles
Are all STUNNED or wrecks burning
My armoured fighting vehicles
Face side down or exiting

Oh, pinch me
Stop retreating!
Forget about those VCs, greenhorn
Oh, I concede!

Episode 251: OTO Charts Away!

Rich returns to the Remote Broadcast Foxhole and has a serious conversation with Jeff about the state of some young Americans' lack of historical knowledge.  They also discuss Churchill's books on WW II. The meat of the show is a look at Rich's involvement with the development of Onslaught to Orsha II by Bounding Fire Productions. You get a chance to hear the designer of the new charts included therein discuss said charts. And we take a look in the box at a few more of the game's components.

Under A Stun 
Concept & Lyrics:  Dennis Donovan
Editing: Chris Gammon and Dave Wallick
Vocals: The 2 Half-Squads Singers

Under a stun
The crew, whose hatch wasn’t down
Under a stun
The crew who was hit by a sniper’s round
Read Chapter D!
For differences ‘tween Shock and Stun
Woe is me, the crew got stung
They’re under a stun

Under a stun
The half-track crew, who had a bad day
Under a stun
The crew who can’t just drive away
Blew their MC
Sad it is
They’re buttoned up ‘till next Movement Phase
Seems to me
For now they’re done
They’re under a stun

Under a stun
It’s a tank.. hit .by falling rubble
Under a stun
MG TK, number, equals TK Roll
So please tell me,
I know they’re stunned, are they broken too?
Buttoned up, having no fun
They’re under a stun
It seems to me, ….oh yeah
They’ll be back up in a turn or two
Stun is flipped, when CC’s done
they’re under +1 (plus one)

Under a STUN
Those guys suffered a ‘K’ result
Under a STUN, well
This turn, they can do nothin’ else              
Sniper got me, d’oh!  Commander’s dead!
They’re buttoned up
and they’re recalled too
They exit,
change has come

They’re under a STUN

ASL Extra 26: Broich Bash

Wow, it's been a long time since we put up an ASL Extra for your enjoyment. This one was recorded last year.  Dave Timonen faces off against Chris Walters, who is playing his first game in many years. It's amazing how the rules and tactics come back to him so quickly.  Advanced Squad Leader is like learning to ride a bicycle, once you learn you never forget how to do it.  Dave and Chris are playing Broich Bash, which was originally published in the old In Contact Newsletter.  Then released in an ASL Annual as, A69 (ROAR US 102/German 114).  It was then re-republished as Scenario 200 in YANKS! 2nd Edition (ROAR US 9/German 14). Set up your boards and play along with us. Or use VASL.

SHOW LINKS
Broich Bash on ASL Archive





The German set up is in the upper left hand corner and the turn numbers for the rest of the photos are uncertain for labeling purposes, but you will easily be able to follow along as you listen. Hear a few tips, and grab some tactical advice as you join us for Broich Bash.

Episode 247: Curse Skype, Love VASL

Well, Skype seems to make Dave's voice sound like he is on a telephone. Which, we guess, he
technically is.  In the box is Adam Lunney's wonderful book "We Together".  Adam tells the untold story of the 451 and 453  Australian Squadrons in WWII.  Give it a read.
We recount our playing of  AP 118 Wise's War on VASL of course. And then we thought it would be fun to explore the controls on Virtual Advanced Squad Leader live on the air.  We thought it would be fun but you may think otherwise after you have a listen.

Here is a show produced entirely in the Kleinschmidt household. We cover a bunch of back logged letters, dating back to February. Shame on us for being so delinquent. But at least here they are now and they are read by our guests Aaron and Laura Kleinschmidt.  Did we ever mention that "Operation Schmidt" should have been called "Operation Kleinschmidt"?

Lock down continues. The Skype recording is a little sketchy on Dave's end but acceptable. In the time since we recorded this show the ASL Open has been canceled as have most of our tournaments.  The Texas ASL tourney is still on as of now.  It is not scheduled to happen for several months yet, so we can hope this scourge on humanity will pass by then.  Take a look with us at the most excellent New England Volunteers Pack as well as an interesting gift from Dennis.

Episode 241: Konigsberg and Korea

Learning often happens best by repetition, so why not give our past shows a listen while you wait for the latest one to drop?
Tolkien's Letters, 1917, and The Witcher are the core of the discussion in the 0% ASL part of the show.
Take a look, along with us, at the new game by Lone Canuck. It is The Battle of Konigsberg: The Bear's Revenge. Wow! The maps in this game are surely a step up from most of the maps you see produced for Advanced Squad Leader. We end the show with a discussion/after action report of our playing of Scenario 203: Hard ROK from MMP's Forgotten War.
Mike Ryzy, Dave Timonen, Dave K and Chris Walters discuss.

Don't forget to head on over to the ASL Open right here in Chicagoland. March 26-29, 2020.
