Episode 28: Get Thee to a Gunnery

The 2 Half-Squads ·

2009/11/27

Admit it -- you LIKE playing with GUNS. The more, the better. You don't want just one or two to choose from. You want LOTS of guns. Well, we guarantee you there is no better selection among ANY game on the planet than those available in ASL. Even the best video games pale in comparison to the bevy of beautiful, blazing artillery pieces provided in even the most basic of ASL modules. With that in mind, we present this first in a planned four-part series. Hardly comprehensive coverage, this is just a

Episode 27: Don't Pass Me By

The 2 Half-Squads ·

2009/10/27

It's great to have guests and do interviews, but sometimes it's nice to get back to basics. This time it's just the two of us and The Rule Book, hunkered down and in it deep. The main topic of this episode is Bypass Movement. It must have pained the Starter Kit designers to make the decision to leave out the bypass rules, and the introduction of bypass must be one of the top most compelling and enticing reasons to step up to Full ASL. If you don't know anything about bypass, you're going to learn a

Episode 26: Round Table #1

The 2 Half-Squads ·

2009/10/17

Today we fill the broadcast foxhole to capacity and hold our first "round table" discussion. Can you guess the topic? Well, if you answered "Advanced Squad Leader", you are absolutely correct. Joining us today are three Chicago-area ASL veterans, Louie Tokarz, Rich Spilky and Bob Holmstrom. Add to that mix ASL vet and T2HS co-host, Dave Kleinschmidt, and we have an ASL virtuoso quartet gathered for your listening pleasure. The forum is open and relaxed, and if you like sitting around talking about

Episode 25: Mark(ing) Time

The 2 Half-Squads ·

2009/09/20

One of the benefits of producing a netcast like this one is the opportunity it gives us to interview various ASL "celebrities". So far none of them have shown any self-awareness of that "celebrity" status, though they all most assuredly deserve the title, given the time and effort they dedicate to the hobby and -- more importantly -- donate to the community. Our guest today is no exception, though his contributions to The Game are exceptional indeed. Mark Pitcavage (Dr. Mark Pitcavage, if one were

Episode 24: Get Movin'!

The 2 Half-Squads ·

2009/09/05

August was a busy month for us, especially with a fun-packed, four-day excursion to Indianapolis for GenCon. But we were still able to record a couple of fantastic T2HS (The 2 Half-Squads) episodes -- the first of which we offer here for your approval. In "Get Movin'!" we continue our series covering, in detail, the phases of the game. And if you can't guess which phase is covered this time you should go back to playing "Chutes 'n Ladders". There's a lot to cover, but we still carve out some time

Episode 23: Prep School

The 2 Half-Squads ·

2009/08/05

Ah yes, we hate to say it but the end of summer break is drawing nigh (here in the Northern latitudes, anyway) and soon the kids will be back in school. With all the homework, projects, sports, and other scholastic activities monopolizing the lives of our youngsters, how are we adults to fill the empty hours? Hmmm. How about some ASL? In this episode, we go to prep school -- Prep Fire Phase school, that is. With the ASL'ers favorite cheat sheet (the trusty ASOP) in hand, we take a detailed view of

Episode 22: Light 'em Up! (LIVE)

The 2 Half-Squads ·

2009/07/27

This episode's main topic is Fire weapons: Flame Throwers and Molotov Cocktails. This episode was our first LIVE audience show. Thanks to technology provided by TalkShoe we were able to broadcast our audio live on the internet and were joined live by listeners. It was pretty cool. We had about twenty-five people joining us via chat and call-in. We need to work out a few kinks in the technology, but all in all it was a great experience.

Episode 21: Lighten Up!

The 2 Half-Squads ·

2009/07/11

Now that we've spent a couple of episodes talking about tanks, we thought it time to take a look at a lighter topic -- what the lonely soldier could do to combat those nasty AFV's. With that in mind, this installment examines the ins and outs of Light Anti Tank Weapons (aka LATW's). Join us for an in-depth quiz show that is sure to inform and delight. So sit down, keep your hand near the buzzer . . . and Lighten Up!

The 2 Half-Squads ·

2009/07/01

Hello! This episode should have photos if you use itunes! We will also put them on the flickr side bar. This episode features Tim Klepaczyk's Germans defending against Ron Schatz's Americans in a Starter Kit #2 scenario called 88's at Zon. Neutral commentary is provided by Dave and special guest Larry Schroeder provides a lively end game analysis. Don't miss the exiting finish to this game! Then join us for a round table discussion of ASL in general at the end of this episode. Wow! We'll be

ASL Extra #8 Monty's Gamble

The 2 Half-Squads ·

2009/06/28

Finally, another ASL Extra! The scenario featured this time is S23 MONTY'S GAMBLE from Starter Kit #3. As you have requested we are taking care of our Starter Kit listeners. Of course we hope ALL our listeners will enjoy listening to Ron Schatz and Dave analyze this one. Also included is an interview with Ron at the end. Break out board u, or pull it up from VASSL and have a grand old time mocking our strategies. Oooooh-Laaaah!

Episode 20: The Thuring Point

The 2 Half-Squads ·

2009/06/18

This time we are happy to have Lars Thuring join us via Skype from his home in Germany. Lars is a long time ASLer and one of the master-minds behind the upcoming (and FINAL) ASL module, Hakkaa Paalle!. Join us as we mercilessly throw him the really tough questions such as, "how do you pronounce 'hakka palle'", "do you make big money designing scenarios", and "can you get MMP to put Dave's name on a counter"? And lots more. Of course, it wouldn't be T2HS without an engrossing reading of Listener

Episode 19: Rally [Phase] Ho!

The 2 Half-Squads ·

2009/05/23

Dim the lights and get comfortable as we raise the curtain on another brilliant ASL drama. After some fascinating listener mail, Jeff discusses the benefit of Preparation H, after which Dave dazzles with yet another engrossing Box Art Review Oh, the humanity! We then get into the meat of the show, a dramatic dialog on the ASOP (Advanced Sequence of Play) section on the Rally Phase. Finally, Dave presents a history report on a very personal WW II hero, Cpl. Edward F. Kleinschmidt of the 12th Armored
