Dave and Jeff are at it again with a whole lot of laughs, a variety of segments, and a bunch of Nazi's. There seems to be a little bit of everything in this episode and it's dedicated [almost] 100% to Advanced Squad Leader.


Join us as we open with the song, Hello Rally! -- an incomparable masterpiece of genius and art -- featuring crazy lyrics contributed by a listener. That's followed with some fine humor from the Texas ASL Group's satirical issue of Banzai!!, called Bunion!!. It's ASL gone MAD. Then we always like to share some letters and tourney announcements before diving into the meat of the episode, which today is the long awaited Festung Budapest. There is a whole lot of quality stuff in this marvelous monster of a module from Multi-Man Publishing. Wait till you see the maps. Would you believe they even includes Tennis Courts? Gotta love it. Haven't ordered your FB yet? What are you waiting for?!


Finally, and thanks to listener Bill C's kind donations, we have placed the following items up for our first T2HS Auction. Email us with your bid, then watch our Twitter feed for updates. We'll tweet the bids as they come in so you'll have a chance to bid again if you like. Items will go to the highest bidders on May 15th 2012. Remember to be good sports, and please, no spitting, and we are not taking low-ball bids. 


Here are the auction items:
Squad Leader - the Avalon Hill original. Used, good condition, missing some counters, Dave's not sure which ones but has them most likely.
Cross of Iron - the Avalon Hill expansion for above. Used, good condition, missing a counter.
For King and Country - the ASL module. New, un-punched.

Jon Karis knows miniatures. He has been collecting 60mm figures for a decade and has a very large collection. He launched his Kickstarter campaign to create his own line and his campaign was a success, with over $16,000 in funding. Then, with less than five minutes left on his campaign, with his project well beyond his funding goal, he pulled the plug. He cancelled with 3 minutes to go. Why would he do this? There is a powerful lesson to be learned and Jon shares it with us on this episode.
