Pour faire patienter (ou exciter l'impatience de certains) :
Journal #7 is 48 pages.
The "extra" is board v. That's right, a board from the upcoming
Starter Kit #3. It's used in one of the scenarios.
P1, (front cover) is the Ken Smith painting we've already seen at the
MMP site (I think I remember seeing there in the past).
P2-3, Debriefing, is the latest round of errata. I don't know if any
of this has been seen before; maybe Bruce will let us know.
P3, TOC and masthead.
P4-5, The Blue Devils: Croatian 1st Light Infantry Parachute Battalion
in ASL, by Steven Swann.
P6-7, The Commisar Dialectric, or, It's Our Party and You'll Die if
You Have To, by Bruce Probst.
P7-13, Got OVHS?, "Got Milk?" Is a Great Start, An Analysis of HS26,
by Oliver Giancola.

P47, Feline On-Board Artillery (FOBA). Humor piece. Includes errata.
P48 (rear cover) is an ad for The Devil's Cauldron. (non-ASL, gasp!)
The scenarios:
122, Extracurricular Activity, Hungarian attacking Russian, Buda, 25
Dec 1944. (Yes, this is ASL scenario 122. It just wouldn't fit in
AoO.) 5.5 turns.
J102, The Yelnya Bridge, German attacking Russian, 13 Oct 1941. 4.5
turns. (An amazingly low number of leaders in this scenario.)
J103, Lenin's Sons, Germans attacking Russian, 14 Oct 1941. 6.5 turns.
No vehicles or guns (but one light mortar).
J104, Flanking Flamethrowers, German attacking Russian, 15 Oct 1941. 6.5 turns.
J105, Borodino Train Station, Russian attacking German, 16 Oct 1941, 5.5 turns.
(You've probably noticed how these last five were each 1 day apart in
time. They are all Xavier Vitry designs showing parts of the last push
on Moscow.)
J106, Marders not Martyrs, Russian attacking German, 10 Sep 1942. 5.5
turns. Uses board v.
J107, Operation Schwarz, Croat attacking Bosnian (partisan), 15 May

J109, Break for Hungary, Croat (partisan) attacking Croat, 9 Nov 1943.
6.5 turns. (Same units (not counters!), same boards, but more (all) in
play, as J108.)
J110, The Prelude to Spring, Russian attacking German, 8 Dec 1944. 8
turns. 4 half boards and some heavy metal.
J111, Prussia in Flames, Russian attacking German, 28 Jan 1945. 8
turns. 4 ISU-122s and supporting infantry against 2 75mm AT guns and
infantry at start. Germans get reinforcements of a 3 conscripts, a
6+1, and a StuG IIIG. Russians get reinforcements of 3 5-2-7s, an 8-1,
and 2 BT-34s. Ouch.

A reasonably varied, even if all East front, bunch.
