Dispatches Update and Paper Back Issues left on sale.

Hello to all 
my ASL Comrades. We are well into playtesting on Issue #36 which 
will be the 
last Paper Issue and will be ready for the Nor'Easter Tournament in 
late March. 
As of Issue #37, all future issues will be e-mailed to my subscribers 
as pdf. 
files. I'll have a New Pricing structure for all future and back issues 
after 
#36 is 
mailed out.  
Speaking of 
paper Issues, they are going fast and the only Back Issues  
remaining in 
print at this point are: #27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 & 34. I'm putting them 
on 
sale to get 
them moved out, sale price of any individual issue (now $3.50 each) 
or get a 
bundle of all 7 above for $25.00. Add a 4 Issue subscription for an extra 
$10.00. 
Any 
International subscribers the price for one Issue is $4.00, the 7 issue bundle 
is 
$35, add 
$10.00 for a 4 issue subscription. So get them why you can, they will no 
longer 
be available 
sometime between last paper Issue #36 & first pdf. issue #37. 
  
We have the 
usual 4 scenarios we are working on for #36 and are now looking for 
Playtest 
volunteers to try them out. Anyone who does and submits a AAR/playtest  
report will 
receive a free paper copy and a free pdf. file copy of #36 when published. 
Here are the 
actions we are working on: 
  
Assyrian 
Ambush: The 2nd in the Battle for Iraq series by Ted Wilcox sees elements 
of the Iraqi 
Independent Mechanized Brigade running the gauntlet through Bd 57 
as British 
trained and equipped Iraqi levies try to stop them from exiting. All armor 
vs all 
infantry in 1941 for a quick playing tourney action. 
  
The Police 
Station: Joe Gochinski has another in the Hong Kong battles with action 
starting 
immediately with on board melees at start as the Japanese 38th Division 
tries 
to capture 
the Police Station, with it's overwatch position from the Winnipeg 
Grenadiers. 
Reinforced 
company side elements on both sides and a strong Canadian defensive position 
with 
fortifications makes for a taught battle until the end. 6.5 turns makes it just 
small 
enough to 
fit into a tourney time slot or 5 to 6 hour time frame. Exciting action for 
sure. 
  
Hunting Gray 
Wolves: The latest in the NKVD series from our own Tom Morin sees a sweep 
by a company 
of NKVD 6-2-8s supported by mixed armor and air support trying to dig out 
Graywolve 
Partisans in the Ukraine. Board 34 is where the action is and comes down to  
much close 
range fighting and CC. Lots of FUN for both sides as CVPs and Hut Control 
are the 
VCs. 
  
Defending 
the Twin Villages: The Battle of the Bulge setting of the approaches to 
Rocherath-Krinkelt on boards 5 & 32 sees Kampfgruppe Muller 
of the 12th SS Hitler 
Jugend 
crashing into the valiant GIs of the 2nd Infantry Division. 18 (6-5-8) SS 
squads 
supported by 
5 x JgdPz IV/70 Tank Destroyers attack a company of mixed American 
squads with 
a bunch of SWs, a 81* Mtr a 2 x M4A3/76W Sherman 76L tanks. A fairly 
large action 
taking 8.5 turns with the SS trying to break through. Much maneuver and  
lots of 
firepower here. 
  
As for 
recently published #35, It contains the usual 4 action-packed scenarios: 
  
The 
Gin Drinkers Line - Hong Kong 1941 - Nice tourney style offering from 
our 
own 
Joe Gochinski with a reinforced company of Elite and 1st line 
Japanese 
infantry 
tries to wrest the Bd 62 village from the 7th Rajput (Indian) 
Regiment. 
Plays 
fast and bloody, very tense fight over those Huts. 
  
The 
Gateway - Hatten, France, January 1945 - Steve Johns brings us the 
tourney 
style 
gem as Panzer Grenadiers and Pioneers, supported by Stugs and a 
Flame-Hetzer, 
smash 
into the 42nd Rainbow Division during Operation Nordwind. With two 57L 
ATGs 
the 
out-manned GIs will do their best to defend Board 1a. Tourney style with nice 
toys. 
  
A 
Willingness to Die - Robert Hammond is back with the next in the 6th Panzer 
Division 
series. 
It is day two of Operation Barbarossa and elements of the Russian 48th 
Rifle 
Division 
stand in the path of the German advance at Paislinus, Lithuania. A very 
cool 
Sniper 
SSR that Robert & Tom Morin collaborated on make this a hornets nest 
for 
the 
advancing lancers as they try to control woods/buildings on board 38 along 
with 
exiting 
20 VPs. A nice, innovative design with wrinkles that only Robert seems to 
come 
up 
with. Medium sized action takes around 6 hours to complete. 
  
Les 
Homme de Neige - New Dispatches designer Bruce Childs has come up with  
a 
Big, Brutal melee in the mountain tops near Storvtn, Norway in May 1940. On 
Bds 
2, 
9 & 15 with a couple companies worth of French 1st liners and Elite Ski 
troops trying to  
clear 
the hilltops of dug in German mountain troops. Snowshoes also make a 
rare 
appearance 
in Deep Snow conditions in Alpine style hills. Very cool looking 
larger 
action 
for those not afraid to spending 7+ hours on a scenario. 
  
We 
also have a winner in the Article Contest (Congrats Kedge!) who does a 
nice 
job 
looking at Gun Duels. Carl 
Nogueira has more 
Tactical Tips and I'll have all the  
usual 
scoop on the regional ASL scene.  
As 
has been noted in the past, I will be going to strictly pdf. file 
format 
after 
Issue #36 ships next March. I am no longer re-printing Back Issues  
and 
have limited numbers of Issues #27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33 & 34 
left, 
once they are gone they are gone. 
  
I 
will have ALL Back Issues available 
as pdf. files, they will be available  
as 
soon as the first pdf. file Issue #37 is published, keep an eye here 
for 
details 
as they become available. 

Speaking of old Dispatches, MMP published 'Out of the Bunker' featuring  
scenarios 
that originally were published in Issues #01 - #20. See the link 
below:

those unfamiliar with Dispatches, it is a 12 page Amateur

Crew and
our yasl Brothers in Southern New England. It typically
