Episode 53: My Better Half-Track




The 2 Half-Squads: Advanced Squad Leader Podcast show

Summary: Don't button up or you might miss something. This episode is all about half-tracks. Those weakly armored, open topped, speedy little vehicles that we use to transport our troops and do sleazy vehicle bypass freeze moves in the last turn, to confound and frustrate our enemies. Before we get to the main topic, though, we'll discuss a Top Ten War Books list as compiled by Military History magazine, and listen to another song entry from our "Write funny ALS Lyrics" contest. (Don't forget the contest ends July 30th). Also we find out What's in the Box, indulge in some Box Art Review, and in general hack together another fine show. We were doing a video simulcast while recording this episode. Be on the lookout as we'll be doing more of these in the future.
