Episode 323: Bungly in the Jungly

This show's opening number originally appeared in the middle of Episode 50. It is called Bungle in the Jungle with lyrics by Dennis Donovan and performed by one of the worst of The 2 Half-Squad Singers. Letters includes a Robert Barratt's report on the CA guys game day on the USS Iowa. 18 gents gaming away. Amazing! Also David Wiley shares how he got into this hobby, and more. 

Today's Rules segment gets us started on the long awaited rule 25:Nationality Distinctions. Lately Dave and Dave finished Scenario ON-3 Stuck Ducks and we take a look at how that went.

Thinking ‘bout forests of palm trees and collapsed huts

Picked up Code of Bushido (forget ‘bout the rent!)

Down at the game store – got it last Friday

Driving me nuts –waiting for ASL Sundays

Japs and Marines, H-T-H in the jungle

It’s wild and crazy, as are we: “Gung Ho!”

Let’s play Bungle in the Jungle, well, that sounds good to me!

Its ASL scenario

Number sixty-two or sixty-three

It takes place in Burma, 1942

PTO rules in effect, including light jungle

Brits are attacking and the Japs are defending

HA-GOs vs. Stuarts couldn’t be cooler

Our usual wager? “I’ll bet you a dinner.”

This game that we zealots play is a winner

Let’s play Bungle in the Jungle, well, I want the Japanese!

A 2 6 point 5 for balance

With a dr when we disagree

OOB’s full of Desert Rat nasties

I’ll have to ambush him in the kunai grass

He’s a master of ARTY and loves overruns

My emplaced AT Gun rookies lie waiting for him

to light up his Stuarts

spell out his doom

But my plan turned to crap now I sing a new tune!
