The 2 Half-Squads: Advanced Squad Leader Podcast

Summer is passing quickly and we are celebrating the 250th celebration of the birth of the United States of America! We read some letters and are glad to welcome Mike Ryzy back into the Broadcast Foxhole. What we have been playing lately covers Mike's cow scenarios, and Dave and Dave's playing of Scenario BFP-174 The Castle of Onega. In the rules segment we cover the ever important rules D12 and D15 (part one, to be continued in episode 390). Did you know that sledges have reindeer pulling them? How cool is that!?! We think that you need to learn to drive your motorcycle like Steve McQueen in the Great Escape! So have a listen to this show. You will be glad you did.

How about that comedy bit? Thank you to Dennis, once again!

Once again, we are super excited to bring back one of Advanced Squad Leader's best contributors, Jim Bishop. Jim will discuss the in-depth look at his newest article on Tanks in the latest Journal. You will learn how to use tanks to sleeze freeze other tanks, how to win the gun duel, what factors to check before the game to help secure your well deserved victory, and many other things about armored warfare in ASL.

No banter today. Well it is at the end.
