   Episode 392: Return to St. Louis

   Our interviews from St. Louis ASL continue in this very episode! First man up is Dave Pope, a fascinating individual who has developed some scenarios and is working on a project to demystify the Advanced Squad Leader rules. It would fix some grammar issues, utilize more bullet points, and he wants to work with MMP on it. Dave would like to start a gaming group in the Southwest Missouri area and is looking for players. Contact us if you are interested in joining! Second interview is Rich Domovich, who gives us an update on his ASL adventures. He attends several international tournaments every year. Amazing! Steve Tinsley joins us for his first appearance on the show, and we finish the show with another visit with Paul Works who gives us an update on the Kansas City ASL stuff including the WWI development, and some new scenario packs in the works.

I would write my own links in the other rule book. I still have those rule books, but they're first edition, so they're kind of quite a bit out of date. […]
