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 the next Update in mid-June: Take a Dollar off below Subscription/Re-subscription prices or Take $5.00 off any bundle price. With #38 now published, I will continue to offer discounted re-subscriptions for any current subscriber who wants to take advantage of the discounted price of $14.00 for a 4 Issue re-subscription to all current subscribers. Anyone not a subscriber who wants in can get a subscription for $15.00. I'm also offering pdf Back Issues for $3.00 if complete or $2.00 if missing content that was re-published by MMP.

If interested, send your Payment via PayPal to: [email protected] 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.
