Rich, Mike and Jared return to the Remote Broadcast Foxhole and join us in a serious Roundtable conversation about our love of the game. We can tell you why Advanced Squad Leader is the greatest game in the world. We also tackle that age old question that we find on so many forums, "Does ASL teach history?". Then we compare and contrast wargames with fantasy games. But, before that, we hear a questionable rendition of the song Olive Groves written by the one and only, Dennis Donovan, and let our listeners speak as they congratulate us on the big 300.
What's in a number?
We would like to thank our mysterious benefactors for the wonderful gifts that we have received in the mail. Wow. You really do like us! And, in order to pay back the community we'd like to offer...wait for it, it's a really big prize...are you ready? It's a brand new copy of... SWORD AND FIRE: MANILA. To hear how to enter the drawing have a listen.
We are now posting our episodes (with more visuals) on Our YouTube Channel.

Olive Groves
Concept & Lyrics: Dennis Donovan
Performed by: The Worst of The 2 Half-Squad Singers
The scenario starts in a sleepy little town
Down around Anzio
And the guys are preppin’ for another game
Reading the SSRs
The orchards in this one are strange
Always in season it seems
Well, we’re talking’ ‘bout Olive Groves
Oh, Olive Groves
Well, the MF and the MP
They both are doubled
Groves have a hindrance of one
‘though it’s not quite apparent,
They are inherent
And the T.E.M.’s one
Some say that this rule’s inane
But it’s part of the ASL game
Oh, we’re talkin’ ‘bout Olive Groves
Oh, Olive Groves
‘though they grow in the Mediterranean
You find them in North Afrika too
Rule A9 3 2
Says AFVs in Groves
Can claim wall advantage, that’s right
And though it’s part of the ASL game
The groves don’t see much play
So just keep re-checking rule F13
