Dispatches from the Bunker: Playtesters Needed
June 2017 Update & Rees HASL Including Operation
Turnscrew.
Hello to my ASL Comrades. Just giving everyone an
update on what is up with the newsletter. We are
starting the playtest for Issue #45 and here are the 2
scenarios ready for Playtest: If interested just reply to
aslbunker@aol.com
and let me know which of the 2 you want to try.
I'll have the other 2 scenarios for #45 ready next month:
The Krinkelterwald: Another good looking tourney style
scenario from Steve Johns with a reinforced company
from Volksgrenadier Division 277 slamming into the
unfortunate souls of the USA 99th Infantry Division at
the beginning of the Battle of the Bulge. The German
has 5 victory hexes on Board 75. The GIs have some
prepared fire zones making the way into the woods
more difficult for the attacker.
The Block on the Trail to Hell: The latest from my
Bougainville series finds a company from the 3rd
Marine Division trying to clear the trail on Board 37.
The Japanese will not go quietly and have a pillbox
and some trenches to bolster the defense, headed up
by a HMG and 1st liners from the 6th Infantry Division.
Tourney sized and lots of close in fighting with both
sides usually pretty beat up by game end.
As for our current Issue, Dispatches from the Bunker
#44 is our 20th Anniversary Issue with Tom Morin's
latest HASL project, centering on the town of Rees,
Germany on the Rhine River in 1945, with the British
trying to take the town. This Issue comes in at a whopping
42 Pages with the HASL, 5 scenarios for it along with a
5 date Campaign Game. The Issue and HASL Chapter
take up one e-mail and there is a separate e-mail
containing the HASL map and VASL files. Carl Noguiera
also has his latest Tactical Tips article, this time on SCWs.
To celebrate our latest pdf. issue I am continuing to offer
a discounted re-subscription for any current subscriber
who wants to take advantage of the discounted re-
subscription cost of $14.00 for 4 pdf issues. (Normally
$15.00 for new subscribers).
I'm also offering pdf Back Issues for $3.00 if complete or
$2.00 if missing content that was re-published by MMP.
(In that case an informational page was substituted for the
missing content telling you what MMP publication it appeared in,
we hope to see Out of the Bunker re-printed by MMP when they can,
it is available in the aftermarket).
If you want all 43 Back Issues they are now $55.00.
If you want the Digital Works (a 4 issue RE-subscription plus all 43 Back Issues) it is now $65.00.

The response to #44 and especially Tom's HASL has been very positive and is well worth checking out for yourself. If you have any questions about it or Dispatches in general, just let me know at
aslbunker@aol.com
Thanks so much for your continued interest and support and look for #45 in late September, Your ASL Comrade, Vic.
