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.

'You Hex-y Thing' (Armoured Fighting Vehicles)
Lyrics by Clinton Paine, Performed by The 2 Half-Squad Singers

Armoured fighting vehicles

Wend along this hex-y thing

My armoured fighting vehicles

Could be moving wrong on this hex-y thing

With my first armoured OB

Move crew exposed down the open road

Roll for ESB, I need this speed so badly

My MMCs approach defending infantry

In PFPh I was shooting at some people

Now they're firing back at me on the IFT

But my armoured fighting vehicles

Overrun the hex they're in

And my armoured fighting vehicles

Keep rolling on, on this hex-y thing

Where did you come from AT shell?

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!
