Comrades,

The Banzai staff is pleased to announce that issue 14.2 of the
newsletter of Texas ASL is now available for free download from
the club website:

http://texas-asl.com/banzai/banzai14_2.pdf

This issue happens to be our 50th overall, and we're hoping you'll
celebrate this milestone with us by enjoying reading it as much as
we enjoyed creating it. This issue is packed with lots of high-quality
content, as you've come to expect from Banzai. Within its 26 pages,
Zeb Doyle takes us to class with a naval OBA clinic and an
explanation of critical hits. There are two scenario analyses by
yours truly (The Meat Grinder and Up Inferno Hill), skillfully aided by
Rick Reinesch's excellent graphical skills as copy editor. He's really
turned it up a notch in illustrating our articles. Rick also gives us
the low-down on the fast-approaching Texas Team Tournament in Austin
in June (get your preregistration in!), and Walter Eardley tells us about
some of his favorite scenarios. Rick provides a tactical tip, and Sam and
I reflect on turning 50.

Many thanks to Rick, Zeb, Sam, and Walter for their contributions to this
issue, and to all the folks who have contributed over the last 13+ years
and 50 editions.

Matt Shostak
