Episode 349: It Came in the Mail

Mike Ryzy brings the box for this show and he gives us a look inside Special Ops #12. Why Special Ops #12? Because it came in the mail. It has a new map and 4 scenarios (2 for Starter Kit), and a look at Jim Bishops article on the third die for R.O.F. 

Rule C10 finishes off the show for today.

"ASL Edelweiss" Lyrics by Rich Spilky 
Performed by The 2 Half Squads Singers

A-S-L, A-S-L, Every die roll enchants me
Rule book thick, games not quick, Line of Sight is no problem
Eight on the eight is an N-M-C, Will my morale sustain me?
A-S-L, A-S-L, Special ammo forever!

A-S-L, A-S-L, Please save me from slow players!
Wind and rain, brush and grain, Each board looks lovely to me
A two is good and a twelve is bad, Yet target types perplex me
A-S-L, A-S-L, Skulking safely forever!

"I'm a Sleeze-Freezer" by Jim Bera and Dennis Donovan (not The 2 Half Squads Singers).

Victory is only true in fairy tales,
Earned by other guys, but not by me
Luck was out to get me. That's the way it seemed.
When I play Squad Leader I get creamed

Then I saw that page About our pet peever
It's D2.3, and it's quite the find
VBMmmmmmm, it's called sleeze-freezing But its not cheating, lighten up guys

I thought "maybe I should try a different game."
Seems the more I played, the more I lost.
What's the use in tryin'? I'll get crushed a-game.
When I need a victory, I get slain.

Then I read that page, now I'm a sleeze-freezer
Not a trace of shame in my mind
VBMmmmmmmm, I'm a sleeze-freezer I'm not a cheater, lighten up guys

Aaaarg. Luck was out to get me.
Well that's the way it seemed.
Disappointment haunted all my games
But then I used that rule, now I'm a sleeze-freezer
Not a trace of shame in my mind.
Bet your boots, I'm a sleeze-freezer . . . But not a cheater, lighten up guys...
