Hello to all my ASL 
Comrades. Just wanted to give my latest  
update on the Newsletter and my new Sale 
in effect 
through 
Memorial Day, see details 
below. 
  
Issue #38 went out right after the 
Nor'Easter in March. We are 
just 
beginning playtesting on Issue #39, and 
have one definite scenario  
and 4 maybes to fit in 3 other spots, 
I'll have the complete list next 
month 
but here is the one scenario for 
sure: 
  
Mopping Up Kobayashi: The latest in the 
long dormant 
Philippines 
Series B (Late War) finds elements of 
the 38 Infantry 
Division 
catching up with remnants of the 
Kobayashi Group in May 
1945. 
A large infantry company of mixed Elite 
and First Line GIs with a 
9-2 
in command tries to control the road on 
board 7A along with 
controlling 
a hamlet of huts. The Japanese are down 
but not out and look to  
prevent the USA win via a 20 CVP 
Casualty Cap for the 
American. 

If you think you were due Issue #38 and 
did not receive it, 
let 
me know, I have seen a few bounced 
e-mails come back 
to 
me and would love to update any bad 
e-mails and get 
my 
subscribers who did not see it a 
copy. 
  
Memorial Day Sale good through

Below are the 4 Scenarios we have in 
#38: 
  
Flanking 
Hatten: The latest quick play, tournament style offering  
from Steve 
Johns see a German Kampfgruppe of 6 x PzIVJ tanks  
along with a 
platoon of infantry in halftracks attacking a small  
American 
combined arms for on boards 62 & 63 in this 1945  
encounter. 
The German looks to cause CVPs and 
exit. 
  
And So it Begins: Another great looking 
Japanese-Chinese
scenarios from Robert Hammond sees hostilities boiling over 
in 
1928 in the city of Tsinan as the Chinese are trying to evacuate 
civilians on Board u. More than a company of infantry apiece 
make for 
instant action in this exciting city fight. Pregame rubble 
and flame rolls 
add to the carnage.  
  
Fontenay by Day: Here we finally have a 
chance to publish 
scenario 1 of 2 set in June '44 at Fontenay-le-Pisnel in 
Normandy. 
Chuck Hammond (no relation to Robert) has a reinforced company 
of British Elite Rifle Squads, supported by a Churchill and 2 Sherman 
Tanks, attacking a company of SS on Boards 10, 19 & 44. The 
German
gets a Panther to raise Havoc for a couple turns before Air Support 
arrives.
OBA on both sides rounds out a brutal fight for Board 10 buildings.  
  
The Streets of Rostov: Mr Stalingrad 
himself, Tom Morin, has a new, 
large city fight, this one set in Rostov in 
1942. Boards 1, 8, and 22 have 
Railroad overlays giving a new feel to those 
venerable boards as the SS
try to punch through a mix of NKVD, line and 
conscript troops to dominate 
the railway hexes. With 37 squads and 5 guns on 
the Soviet side and 17 
squads and 14 AFVs for the SS and Panzer troops, 
there is a lot of firepower 
for both sides and plenty of options on offense 
and defense.  
  
We'll also have an article by Kedge on 
Ammo and Fuel Shortages and Carl 
will have more of his tactical 
tips. 

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 sending a Check or Money order (in USA Funds only,

the Bunker 
P.O. Box 2024 
Hinsdale MA 01235 
USA 

Remember, 
Dispatch #28 included Tom Morin's 3 scenarios and 
5 date mini-campaign of 
the brutal battle that took place on 
Guadalcanal at the Ilu River (Alligator 
Creek). 

Also Please remember that Dispatch #23 is devoted to 
VotG 
including the 3 scenarios that Tom Morin designed 
specifically for the 
newsletter, analysis of each, Tom's
VotG Saga and Jim Torkelson's look at 
VotG from the 
German point of view.

Speaking of old Dispatches, MMP published 'Out of the 
Bunker' featuring 

scenarios that originally were published 
in Issues #01 - #20. It is 
temporarily 
  
out of print but we hope to see it back soon. See the link 
below:
