MMP does not want you to know about all the other games that exist in the world. We would never spend time on this show discussing games like Dungeons and Dragons, Settlers of Cataan, or Twilight Imperium, because we are such Advanced Squad Leader loyalists and Fan Boys.  Or would we now? In this very show, Jim Burris gives us an update on the St. Louis Tournament and what HE has been playing lately. James Treu gives us his gaming background and says hello. We also manage to read a few letters.  SHOWTIMES0:01 Small Talk8:30  Jim Burris23:30 Letters41:00 Contest Winner Announced42:00 James Treu47:39 Total Running TimeSHOWLINKSMatt Quinton's Youtube Matt Quinton's Discord  Download this episode (right click and save)

If you've been on BoardGameGeek you've seen his Fun City Game Club blog talking about the amazing people and games that play regularly in a wargamer's dream den. If you're an Advanced Squad Leader aficionado (or newbie), then you've surely at least seen the name if not played against JR at a convention. An eminently generous and nice guy, JR shares his decades of experience with us in this episode of Hexy Talk!

Wow, it's been a long time since we put up an ASL Extra for your enjoyment. This one was recorded last year.  Dave Timonen faces off against Chris Walters, who is playing his first game in many years. It's amazing how the rules and tactics come back to him so quickly.  Advanced Squad Leader is like learning to ride a bicycle, once you learn you never forget how to do it.  Dave and Chris are

Vi håber, at alle har det godt og får deres spilbehov dækket med solo- og/eller onlinespil eller har aktiveret ægtefæller og afkom udi Catan, Love Letter eller Advanced Squad Leader. For noget tid siden bad vi om indspark fra lytterne og nu har vi tacklet en stak spørgsmål. Så vi får, takke være jer, en snak om: Hvilke computerspil der har kastet gode brætspil af sig (og her er link til Bo “Bastard Cafe” Thomasens The Witcher-rant) Hvorfra behovet for nye spil kommer og er Peter og Morten nogen illoyale fanboys? Vores tidlige spiloplevelser, inklusiv ægte papskubberi (fra Orc- til Greyhawk Wars) Sværd og Trolddom (lyt til vores dedikerede episode her) Junta, det gamle lort Spil til film (Meeple: The Movie?!?) Derudover bliver det også afsløret, hvilken sildesalat de tre værter har på deres BGG-profiler. Og så husk, at vi har et stort bagkatalog af Papstinenser-episoder som stadig kan lyttes til, både på hjemmesiden og på diverse podcast-platforme. Papstinenser på 10er Vi er fortsat tilknyttet papstinenser.10er.dk, hvor man kan støtte Papstinenser med en 10er eller et andet beløb, for hver ny episode. Det er der allerede en del der gør – det er vi vildt glade for – tak! Pengene går til at forbedre og tune på podcasten og udbrede budskabet om Papstinenser og så giver det mulighed for, at komme til at bestemme indholdet af en bonusepisode – den næste følger i næste uge!
