Armies of Oblivion Podcast available
A quick bit of background on this
episode:
Those of us who play ASL (even
as infrequently as I do) have been waiting for Armies of Oblivion for, like,
forever. I no longer have any idea how long. Since I still enjoy ASL from time
to time, but am pretty far out of the loop, I thought it might be fun to do a
podcast of my first impressions of the game – literally breaking the
shrink wrap and looking it over, since I had little idea what to
expect.
What the podcast ended up being
is partly a look at the new ASL module, and partly a reminiscence about ASL and
what makes it such a great game. Because not all of this episode will be of
interest to everyone, I used the MPEG-4 format's chapters to break things down.
So if you have no interest in ASL specifically, I recommend skipping chapters 3,
4, and 6 (chapter 5 starts at roughly 20:50, chapter 7 at 30:40, for those using
the MP3 format). Probably this episode is of the least interest to folks at the
extremes, either those with no interest in wargames at all or long-time ASL
die-hards who already own the game.
All
that said, I hope you find something of entertainment value in there
somewhere.
