Anyone who like to try playing some early USMC scenarios during the 1920-30s Banana Wars, please PM me.
Looking for testers as these are only partially tested.

Good Book: The Banana Wars by Ivan Musicant
From a review:
"This excellent title describes in good detail the small wars that the US Marine Corps was involved in from 1898-1989 in the Caribbean. Musicant (a former Marine) weaves a well-written tale, which is primarily focused in the military situation, but adding just enough of the political background so that one who has little or no knowledge on the subject comes away with a full understanding of our involvement in these banana wars. Recommended reading!"--Darryl R. Smith (edited)

I've often thought these should be included in the ASL time-line. Thanks.

[Steve, I hope you'll choose MMP as your publisher.]

Sorry, I do not believe that MMP would be interested.

Sad to read.

The Banana Wars are the WWII-Pacific-USMC "origin story."

It definitely needs personalised counters for Lt "Chesty" Puller.

10-4, are you crazy? Your best leader's -ve DRM is directly proportional to the chance of that leader being magically yet inevitably taken out on the very first sniper roll of the game. He wouldn't last through Prep Fire

Two of the scenarios do feature Butler when he was young.
Not quiet a 10-4 yet, maybe a 9-2.

 

[Vic Provost]

I'll pass on those this time Steve, we have enough on our plate as is.

I wish you well getting these going, Carl or Xavier might be interested.

Good luck! Vic.

Thanks, Vic
