Episode 6

This episode addresses some requests to help new ASL players. We discuss ways to find other players, what you need to buy to get started playing and how to store all that stuff. Then we cover some differences between the Starter Kits and the “full” rules, and get into a beginner’s discussion of the Defensive Fire Phase.

Here are some links to web sites we discussed:

Episode 296: A Maus in the House

Gather round if you dare while we croak up some horrifying, shocking, terrifying, and paralyzing banter about household pests and possums. These stories will have you running for the cover of a pest free home. Speaking of mice, if you would like a free Mythical Mighty Mouse Bundle then send us a gmail with Micky Plays ASL in the subject line by June 10, 2022 and we will enter you in the contest. But if you can survive that fright-fest, there's some very good Advanced Squad Leader talk to be had as well. We continue part II of the concealment rules.  Then we get into a box of arid desert land and Italians, Eritrians, and Ethiopians.

Episode 3

Hurrah! We fixed the audio issues we had with episodes 1 & 2. The embedded player is now working! Tonight we’re joined in the broadcast foxhole by our pal, Joe Pellam, who talks about his gaming history, his fascinating visits to Iwo Jima while in the Navy, and his love of ASL. A great guy, and a good friend, we’re pleased to have him as our guest. Do you have a topic you would like to hear discussed on “The 2 Half-Squads”? Do you have an idea for a show segment? Do you know someone that would be a good guest? We’d like to hear from you! Leave us a comment here, or send an email to the2halfsquads@gmail.com Or download this episode.
