Episode 252: Too Much Good Stuff, You Hexy Thing!

It was such a pleasure to talk with Michael Koch in our second episode on the ASL scene in Germany. The discussion covers WWII sites to see in Germany when you attend the Grenadier Tournament, the history of ASL, and the wonderful fact that there is just too much good Advanced Squad Leader stuff being published today. What a problem to have! Michael also gives us a detailed look at what it takes to run a tournament and chats about his love for the Hatten in Flames campaign game.  And so much more.

How did you know where to conceal those guns? Did you know this game is everything I play for? Learn the rules, every night and day for? Then today I play my first combined-arms action Now you're firing next to me, giving it to me My armoured fighting vehicles Have nowhere to run on this hex-y thing My armoured fighting vehicles’ PRCs long for their next of kin Oh! Curse you, you hex-y thing Point blank fire from the hex you're in There's no way you can miss my side armour, these flanks are thin Oh! It's snake eyes, this hexing thing Yesterday I mortar bombed those lonely people Now your rate of fire sprees serve it back to me My armoured fighting vehicles Are all STUNNED or wrecks burning My armoured fighting vehicles Face side down or exiting Oh, pinch me Stop retreating! Forget about those VCs, greenhorn Oh, I concede!
