  Episode 391: Gateway Arch Goodies: St. Louis Interviews

  Aug 14, 202639 min

  Jeff sends Dave forth to a St. Louis adventure. He returns with 10 interviews that will fill many a show. And, fill it with quality content, instead of the usual blather. First interview is Jim Burris, the tournament director. Jim gives us an update on the standings, the history of the tourny, and some rule tips too! Francis Biss was kind enough to talk with us for the first time, telling us of his start in gaming and tournament experiences. Francis is an original Purple Boxer! We finish the show with another visit with Doug Kirk who gives us an update on the Advanced Squad Leader events in his life, as well as his ASL preferences. Before Dave set out on his road trip adventure, he managed to cut the freon line on his AC unit at home. Details related in the Banter segment. Yikes! Go forth ASLer"s everywhere!

  Episode 390: Ghost Rider Fire and Art du Pont

  Aug 3, 20261 hour

  Mike has brought along ASL Action Pack #22: A World at War. We open this box and find 3 new maps and 12 new scenarios and take a gander at this fine product. Does a pin result affect a motorcyclist? Can a motorcycle Bog? We don't know but we are about to find out. It is time to finish the motorcycle rules that we started last show. Dennis visits to review the art on the Chef du Pont box. And he provided the lyrics to the opening song, Never Gonna Give it Up. We think the lyrics are clear enough in the song and don't need to be listed here.

  Episode 389: Sledge Sisters Ride Again

  Jul 16, 202652 min

  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 gladthat you did. How about that comedy bit? Thank you to Dennis, once again! SHOW LINKS Alpenfestung SHOWTIMES 00:01 Comedy Bit 02:00 Banter 11:00 Letters 17:00 What Have You Been Playing Lately? 24:00 Rules 52:12 Total Running Time
