The whole Bunker crew. Tom is front and center During our interview last episode with Vic Provost, you heard him spend some time extolling the value and virtues of his pal and long-time collaborator, Tom Morin. So much so, that we just had to see for ourselves. Despite a raging hurricane pummeling the Eastern seaboard where he resides, and a humorous phone call snafu, we managed to get Mr.

PJ Norton Rocks On ASL We are pleased to present an interview with Michigan local and ASL mover and shaker PJ Norton. PJ is a very enthusiastic ASLer with lots of experience as a play tester for Critical Hit.  He has put a lot of years into the hobby, and has a good grasp of its history.  Join us for a fascinating conversation about how we play, and why we play, Advanced Squad Leader.

Since Jeff has been so busy getting the T2HS Hangouts off the ground, Dave felt he needed to make some kind of a contribution. Believe it or not, this is all he could come up with. Listener Dustin had expressed some interest in how to store his counters and, to help him out, Dave discusses his storage system. He then presents his thinking process (yes, he actually has one, in spite of what your

Near Baguio, Luzon Island, The Philippines, April 17, 1945:  It has been a little while, but we have finally posted another ASL Extra episode, for your enjoyment and edification.
