Letters, letters, letters! Boy, do we have letters. Thank you to everyone who writes. The feedback and contributions are much appreciated. Your many links are below.
Also we look into "the box" and find some very cool Countersmith Turret Counters and the new ASL SK Expansion Pack #1, wherein we finally find out if the much ballyhooed "Kleinschmidt" counter appears. The answer will surprise you.
We'll save the celebrities for another time. This one is banter-licious!

Don't worry. I didn't mind having my article mentioned three times during the Letters. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent episode btw.
Here are the lyrics to the T2HS song parody contest: Bungle in the Jungle.
ReplyDeleteBungle in the Jungle by Sgt. Schmutz (Dennis)
(To JETHRO TULL’s Bungle in the Jungle)
Thinking ‘bout forests of palm trees and collapsed huts
Picked up Code of Bushido (forget ‘bout the rent!)
Down at the gamestore – got it last Friday
Driving me nuts –waiting for ASL Sundays
Japs and Marines, H-T-H in the jungle
It’s wild and crazy, as are we: “Gung Ho!”
Let’s play Bungle in the Jungle, well, that sounds good to me!
Its ASL scenario
Number sixty-two or sixty-three
It takes place in Burma, 1942
PTO rules in effect, including light jungle
Brits are attacking and the Japs are defending
HA-GOs vs. Stuarts couldn’t be cooler
Our usual wager? “I’ll bet you a dinner.”
This game that we zealots play is a winner
Let’s play Bungle in the Jungle, well, I want the Japanese!
A 2 6 point 5 for balance
With a dr when we disagree
OOB’s full of Desert Rat nasties
I’ll have to ambush him in the kunai grass
He’s a master of ARTY and loves overruns
My emplaced AT Gun rookies lie waiting for him
to light up his Stuarts
spell out his doom
But my plan turned to crap now I sing a new tune!
Another good episode, glad you like the counters but you said my name wrong, it's Willey as in Dick, yep honest. Dare you correct it on the show ;-).
ReplyDeleteHow about a link to my blog (self promoting git that I am)
Cheers
Ian
The blue colored letters are links. Click on the company name! Glad to be of help.
ReplyDeleteThe Starter Kit Expansion Pack has an 8-0 Sgt Klein and a 7-0 Cpl Schmidt counter. It looks like you will have to keep these two counters stacked together to get the result you are looking for. Just trying to ease the pain...
ReplyDeleteHappy 50th!!! Congrat's. Looking foward to the 100th ep.
ReplyDeleteHi guys, great show,
ReplyDeletesomebody was asking for books with infantry tactics, closest thing I know is the real field manuals, you can find a lot of the rescinded versions on the net, here 2 links:
http://www.survivalebooks.com/usmilitarymanuals.html
http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/
I don't like the second one that much because it has a lot of popups but the information is good.
Keep up the great work.

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you,
I just rolled a two;
Your Tiger's now burning,
Here, have another brew.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteRe: books with tactical content, you should try "Small Unit Actions During the German Campaign in Russia". This is great reading for any ASLer is available free on the web:

Several of the actions described in this book have been converted into ASL scenarios.
