Dispatches from the Bunker August Update

Hello to all my ASL Comrades. Work continues on Dispatch #37 and 
have the 4 scenarios well into the 
playtestng process at this point.
If you are interested in 
playtesting, Please reply and let me 
know which one you want to play. As per usual, a FREE Copy of 
Issue
#37 is yours for 
trying either of the first 3 listed, anyone who likes 
large PTO melees check out the Mawchi Road, 
I'll give you 2 FREE issues
for taking on that one. Here is what we are working 
on:

Stossgruppe Schlicter: Nice tourney sized offering from 
Bruce Childs finds 
us in Norway 1940 as the German force is trying to remove 
a roadblock, cause
casualties and exit. Quick playing with variable game 
length. Boards 34 & 37.

Anchoring the Line: The latest RB action from 
Any Hershey see the Germans
on defense on New Years Eve 1942 in the 
east-central part of the Barricades.
Reinforced infantry companies on both 
sides as the Russians try to take back
buildings from the German defenders. 
Variable VPs for buildings in the German
set up area lead to a guessing game 
on what they are worth. Nice SSRs spice
things up.

LZ S: Mike Puccio's 
latest look at the Glider attacks into Germany in March '45.
Reinforced 
company of glider troops with plenty of SWs and some ordnance land
around and 
possibly amidst German artillery positions on Boards 1a, 43 & 44.
Taking 
out the guns is the goal. Very cool scenario with instant action as 
the
gliders try to land amongst AA fire.

Mawchi Road: A big, large, 
nasty PTO fight from Joe Gochinski sees Brits of
the Royal Berkshire Regiment 
trying to clear the Mawchi Road at Toungoo, Burma.
Both sides have 3 company 
sized infantry units that are augmented from a pool
of Divisional assets 
including SMCs/SWs/Ordnance for the IJA and a fleet of
various armed carriers 
for the British. Although a Big Scenario on Boards 50, 63 & q,
it plays 
fairly short due to only being 6.5 turns long and with all that firepower 
units
tend to disappear quickly as well. Killer scenario in every 
way.

Also in #37 we'll have an article on Festung Budapest by Kedge and 
Carl continues his Tactical Tips.

As you know by now, I have been transitioning from paper to pdf. 
issues.

We have the usual 4 scenarios for 
current Issue #36 and here they are:

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.

Kedge has another nice article, looking at the state 
of ASL in 2013. Carl Nogueira 
has more Tactical Tips and I'll have 
all the usual 
scoop on the regional ASL scene. 

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. 

IF this sounds like an overrun by a Meat 
Chopper in a runway hex,
