Greetings all,

August already!? Say it ain't so! On the other hand, that does mean that it's about time for the monthly TCASL meetup! We're back at the Rosevill library this month for another day of ASL goodness.

Day: 8/10/24
Time: 10:00am - 5:00pm
Location: Ramsey County Library Roseville 2180 Hamline Ave N, Roseville, MN 55113 [Board Room, 2nd floor, on the left from the elevators and stairs, over by the periodicals]
Masks: Recommended

Air power played a decisive role in the Second World War, though communications and doctrinal challenges limited coordination with ground troops. Close air support did happen from time to time though, and ASL provides plenty of opportunities to call in the cardboard Stukas and Sturmoviks:
