Hello to all my ASL Comrades. Just wanted to give my latest update on Dispatch #41 as we are winding down the playtest. We are pretty much done with 3 of the 4 scenarios but still need another playing or 2 of Vorwald Waltz I just need a report back by Labor Day.Anyone who volunteers and does submit a report in time will earn 2 free Issues. Here are the scenarios we are working on this time: Probe on the Trail to Hell: My latest in the long dormant Bougainville Series finds elements of the 21st Marine Regiment advancing down The East-West Trail and running into a defensive position of the Japanese 23rd Infantry Regiment. Taking enemy hexes and CVPs determine victory. Small tournament style action on half of Board 52. Death on the Eismeer Strasse: Ted Wilcox kicks off a new scenario series looking at Special Forces. Here, above the Arctic Circle at the Russian hamlet of Luostari, we see special forces of the 6th Separate Guards Demolition Battalion holding the only road through the woods on the other half of Board 52. They are being attacked by Elite German infantry of Gebirgs Division 2. Nice tournament action in Heavy Snow amongst elite troops. Vorwald Waltz: A collaborative effort between Bob Tufano and our own Tom Morin sees a medium/large battle over the village on Board 67 between an elite combined arms force of the US 9th Infantry Division on defense and the mixed Panzer/Infantry Kampfgruppe from Panzer Lehr. A nasty brawl ensues with M36 GMC tank destroyers trying to deal with Panther tanks. A unique SSR sees bidding for the side you want. The Kastelli Thirteen: Tom Morin reprises his Crete series for a small to medium Para-drop by German Falschirmjaegers onto Board v, defended by a numerically superior force of green Greek defenders supported by a small detachment of Elite Brits. The German attackers need to weather the storm and get organized but if they go, there will be hell to pay for the defense. We'll also have a new article by Bob 'Kedge' Johnson along with a new Tips Article from Carl Nogueira.
