Hello to all my ASL Comrades at the Main ASL Mailing list. Dispatch #34 was released at this past weekend's Nor'Easter Tournamentand was very well received. I will be shipping it out later this week and to celebrate another Issue shipping out I am offering a Bonus 5th Issue to anyone who subscribes This Week Only, good through 3/31 and it does include subscriptions included in a WORKS Order. A WORKS Order of just the In-print Issues will get $5.00 off the price listed below. See complete Ordering Info about 2/3 the way down this update. Spare the Pagoda, Mandalay Burma 1945: As the British continued their sweep into the southern section of Mandalay, they ran into Japanese resistance centered on a Pagoda. Can it be cleared in time to allow the offensive to continue? Tourney sized on board 3a. Land Sharkey: Normandy July '44: Operation Goodwood had erupted the preceding day and the Ulster Rifles came under fire from a Church in a village astride the Escarville - Troarn Road. Can they clear this obstacle of the threat being raised in the British flank? Tourney sized on Bd 63. Hold the Brickworks: The final entry in Adam Lunney's Brickworks series finds a final push by elements of the 10th Panzer Division trying to wrest control of the Brickworks from the 8th Argyles. Medium tourney sized on Bd 44. Sandbanks of the Volga. The latest in Andy Hershey's Stalingrad actions finds us back in the Barricades, this time at the onset of Operation Hubertus in the final push to take the city. This time we se the fighting shift into the fuel tank farm in the Eastern rear area of the southern RB map. Big killer of a scenario for all you fans of urban combat, looks like another goods one from Andy. We'll also have a new partnership to announce, the ongoing scenario design contest, a look at Churches in ASL and of course Carl Nogueira's continuing Tactical Tips along with a remake of old fave Trail to Hell. Meanwhile, we released Dispatch #33 back in Septemberat the Bunker Bash. Here are the 4 scenarios we have in #33for your ASL enjoyment: Bedouin Blitz: Iraq 1941, British vs Bedouin Raiders in a seldom seen setting from Ted Wilcox. Smallish tourney style action with Brit 1st liners supported by a couple ACs, trying to stave off an attack by Iraqis aided by mounted Bedouin Calvary. Action on newer board 1A. Atrocities Beget Atrocities: China 1948, Elements of the Chinese Nationalist Army counterattacking the Japanese 23rd Infantry Regiment to take back buildings on SK Board z. The Chinese set up a platoon in one of 4 Victory buildings, then the Japanese set-up in the other 3 before the main Chinese force enters in a bid to take buildings back. Leaders also count for VPs in another cool, small to medium sized, tourney style The Streets of Kharkov: February 42, A new look at the fierce fighting in Kharkov by Mr Eastern Front Urban Combat himself, Tom Morin, with this mid-sized, combined arms death-match on Boards 45 & 51. This shows the Backhand Blow with the Russians on attack to take back buildings and the German looking to exit while also denying enemy building control. T-34s and PzIVs mix it up as the SS and NKVD once again get to 'reacquaint' themselves with each other. No Quarter is DEFINITELY in Effect! Thunder From Heaven: NW Germany March 1945: A Large, Killer of a Paradrop/Glider action by new Dispatches designer Mike Puccio see a reinforced company of USA 7-4-7 Paratroopers coming in via Para-drop while a company of Brits are coming in via Glider landing onto 3 boards (16, 33, 43) defended by a mixed company of German troops supported by 3 (20L AA guns). The German does get variable reinforcements as the Allies bear down on the Victory area. Looks like a classic! We also have an analysis on VotGs Raid on Rodimtsev, a continued look by Carl Nogueira on the Japanese and the usual look at the regional Tourney scene. As has been noted in the past. I have retired Back-Issues #01 - #20.
