Vic, Are you expecting an article from me? I remember at Nor'easter you told me that you had content planned for the next 2 issues and did not need an article, so I haven't been planning anything. Just wanted to check, since the message you sent said I was writing another article. Kedge On 7/25/2016 8:15 PM, Vic Provost wrote: > Hello to all my ASL Comrades.

Playtesting for Dispatch #43 is heading toward the home stretch butthere is still time to get involved and earn yourself a Free Issue. Justreply to this message and let me know what you want to try. See summaries below, You will earn a Free Copy of #43 when you submit a report. A Thorn in the Side - Nice tourney sized action by Ted Wilcox withan all-out assault by Japanese Elite Squads from a Special TankHunter Detachment attacking up hill vs Elite British troops withthe goal of knocking out the British tanks on the Hill-tops on Bd 5b. One Last Victory - Joe Gochinski has another in the OperationNordwind series, with Elite SS from the 6th SS Nord Divisiontrying to take the village on Bd 67 vs a mixed company of USAinfantry. Tourney s ized and plays quick in this all infantrybattle. A Deadly Landscape - Great looking battle on a small area of the RBmap as December 42 draws to a close with a deadly stalemate turning agains t the German. Andy Hershey has a unique SSR which'allows the Snipers to add VPs to both sides as they cause casualties.Very FUN Stalingrad action suitable for a tournament time frame. March on Marche - The largest of the offerings this times sees theGerman Blitz come to Marche in France. Mike Augustine has thetip of Rommel's 7th Panzer Division securing the bridge over the OurtheRiver then trying to wrest Marche from a combined French forcewith tanks and cavalry. German mobility is the key and the French must counter their advances on Bds a & 3a. Here are the scenarios that were published in #42 this past March: Grand Hotel Britannia: Great looking tournament action by designer > extraordinaire Steve Johns see a battle already between British > elites vs German Marines in Victory building J3 on Board 45 at > start, with a larger relief force trying to push aside the German > defense outside of the building.
