Episode 65: Daveford and Sons

Just as you were starting to get bored with Dave and Jeff, we shake it up a bit and present Dave and his sons, Adam and Aaron.  Before you panic, have a listen and give these co-hosts a try.  

After Aaron and Dave share some fascinating letters, we have a little ditty for you from Sgt. Schmutz and the Half-Squad singer.  It's a great rendition of Ring of Fire. Then Dave and his son Adam bring you their review of Patton. Buildings crumble around us as we make our way Into the Rubble with the Advanced Squad Leader module from  Bounding Fire Productions. There are some fantastic maps in this pack. Terrain Time covers Open Ground (hey, we want to be sure we cover everything), so go ahead and cross it if you dare!

ASL Extra #14: Early Battles

North of Kaunas, Lithuania, June 26th 1941:  We are back once again with yet another ASL Extra! This one is for you Starter Kit listeners.  Yes, a special treat just for you!  We bring you scenario S25 EARLY BATTLES.  Before we begin, please allow us to explain that an ASL Extra episode is designed to show you how a scenario was played by two ASLer's and for you to see how the scenario played out.  It will not teach you the rules, but should help you to see a larger, tactical view of the scenario played.  In this one, Barkalow's Russians attempt to prevent Kleinschmidt's Germans from taking a small village in Lithuania.

Episode 64: Nights in White Phosphorous

Sadly, we say farewell to an Advanced Squad Leader legend, Bill "Fish" Conner, who, along with Daryl Burke, was responsible for starting the ASLOK tournament. We hardly knew him, yet still feel the loss.  

As for the rest of the episode, shoot a Starshell into the air so you can see clearly. Gunflashes be darned! We are going to fire from the hip and bring you the long awaited final installment of the Night Rules. First, Jeff brings his review of Von Ryan's Express, followed by a look at Gun Flash, Starshell and Illuminating Rounds. Terrain Time covers Shellholes, so you can become a little more adept at getting in and out of them. Go ahead and jump out of that shellhole -- we promise to not shoot!

Episode 63: ASL Night Fever

Don't stray too far from this podcast, because it is time for Night Part 2, and we couldn't get all of the night rules into this episode, as much as we tried, which means that you can expect Night Part 3, sometime soon.

AFV Logic Card w/Overlay
You may be all jittery and wondering what other ASL info consumed the time allotted to this podcast, besides discovering who is lax at night. Well, this episode brings you a look at What's in the Box with the marvelous AFV Logic Basic Plus cards from Countersmith Workshop. (Thank you Countersmith for sending this amazing set for review.) This episode's song offering is OBA From the Sky written by Troy Nordine.

Episode 62: Starry, Starry Starshell

It is not Night Part 2. It is a sad, sad, day. Jeff has been called into work on the night we are scheduled to record Episode 62, and Dave is faced with a difficult decision. Should he wait to record with Jeff, or carry on, at the risk of producing a rather boring show? Dave has chosen (maybe unwisely) to forge ahead on his own. This very episode is the result of that decision. On the plus side, this episode does bring you a look at the Allied Minor AFV cards from Fanatic Enterprises (out of print but available from Alex Key), and a one sided Movie Review of Von Ryan's Express. Many listeners will enjoy the song Houlie Dice.  There is a nice Starshell Tutorial that can teach you about those bright things in the night sky. Though you haven't heard the starshell rules explained in Night Part 2 yet, you will still find the tutorial informative. Dave also discusses the PAASL Club and hopes you will be encouraged to start your own.

ASL Extra #13: The Penetration of Rostov

Rostov, Russia, July 24th 1942:  Well boys and girls, it has been a long time since we have published an ASL Extra.  We present, for your listening pleasure, scenario ASL 131 The Penetration of Rostov (previously known as A17, from an edition of the Annual).  Selected because it is a scenario from Beyond Valor and owned by many listener's, this one provides chills and thrills, INF Guns, Molotov's and the NKVD.  Join us as Mark's Germans attack Dave T's Russians while Dave K provides some neutral commentary.  Will the defense of Rostov hold in the face of the German onslaught?  Listen to find out.
