If interested, send your Payment via PayPal to: [email protected] Here are the 4 new scenarios we have in Issue #37: 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, this time turning his attention to AFVs. We also have are usual local tourney and New England regional ASL news. 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.
