Episode 320: 10th Mountain Men

It is a pleasure to have Paul Works return to the show especially when he is accompanied by his friend and compatriot Dave Mareske. Dave gives us a wonderful review of his fathers life, including his time in the service and his time spent thereafter. We think you will agree that Cpl Ernie Mareske led a fascinating life and served in a challenging arena during WWII.  

Paul provides some insights into the research and development of this interesting scenario pack, including the "scrolling maps" included therein. This pack includes a "mini campaign game of four connected scenarios" and some unique, but not overwhelming SSR's. If you would like a look into the WWI game that these gentlemen are working on, you will not be disappointed by this episode. As opposed to the rest of our episodes.

Episode 319: That's Some More Eh?

We announce the winner of the last contest and give details about our newest one. If you want to win these Schwerepunkt scenario packs you might have to break out of your comfort zone. But you can do so anonymously. Dave recounts his second spill -- an NDE -- while Kayaking. He definitely did not want more of that, eh? We finish covering Rule 19: Unit Substitution. Then take an in depth look at the scenarios from March Madness 2019 Close Combat Pack. We received copies of the latest from The Kansas City gents and will cover those on a future show.
