Vic, Just wanted to let you know, I have a new address. OLD Address: 2418 Mukuk Loop Apt D Eielson AFB, AK 99702 NEW Address: Ashton T Reynolds 8000 Madison Blvd D102 PMB395 Madison, AL 35758 Thanks Ashton -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Vic Provost Sent: Monday, February 11, 2013 7:02 PM To: ASL Mailing List Current May 2004 Subject: [Aslml] 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: http://www.multimanpublishing.com/ta...9/Default.aspx For those unfamiliar with Dispatches, it is a 12 page Amateur ASL Newsletter that comes to the greater ASL Community twice a year, sometime in March and September courtesy of the New England ASL Community, including the Bunker Crew and our yasl Brothers in Southern New England. It typically contains 4 New Scenarios, Analysis of each one, a Main Article on any aspect of the game system, Tactical Tips, ASL News and Tournament Updates from our region.
