What's (k)new?



ASL Journal Six, long absent from my collection will soon be coming home.  12 scenarios, Chapter Z rules, and the mini HASL Primosole Bridge.  Primosole Bridge depicts a British attempt to capture a strategic bridge across the Simeto River during the invasion of Sicily in 1943 by using a glider landing to attempt a coup-de-main to allow Allied forces to advance (imagine an “A Bridge Too Far” situation, but with only one bridge involved).  The British captured the bridge, but the relieving force fell behind schedule (a la “A Bridge Too Far” again).  The British lost the bridge and had to fight to get it back again, including fighting against German reinforcements who themselves landed by parachute, making this the only battle in World War II in which both sides used air landings.

Not bad eh?

Looking forward to: ASL Action Pack 10.  Currently still on preorder but has to be close to shipping by now.  

ASL Journal 11?  Anyone? Bueller?

Cold Combat, the first expansion for Platoon Leader should be hitting the printers either this weekend or the next.  I'm very excited about this release as there are a number of new and improved morsels!

Other than that, the 25th Annual New Orleans Film Fest has bee a riot.  Six days of films so far and one to go.  Highlights this year include the documentary Jingle Bell Rocks about obsessed X-mas Rock N Roll Vinyl collectors.  Biggest upset of the fest: Not being able to see The Imitation Game.

Still haven't seen Fury but when i do, You'll know...

 and finally, can't wait to get yet another root canal, Yipee!!!

-Tha'ts all for now, carry on!
