Point Blank! is finally UP and running on the wEb in a true "free of charge" pdf downloadable file format for everyone to access without "subscribing" in any way :-)
I want to thank Zoltan Grose, our new arrival from Texas; and Steve Bowen for their efforts in assisting me with getting this up and online. Without further ado, lets drop in the link for the last issues Jul - Aug 2012:

The guys found Dropbox, and the cloud storage size is perfect for us, so I am in process of feeding the back issues into Dropbox, and will add the links as they get uploaded ( it takes some time from my ancient CPU) LOL!!!
The next issue in the works already, with a nice in person interview of our commanders at the recent Market - Garden reenactment event my place of work hosted on the weekend of Sept 15-16th scheduled to be inside, along with more AARs, and our "Back to the Basics" will be running down the right ( and wrong) ways to plan glider and paratroop landings and defenses. September / October issue should be interesting indeed.
On the Nederlander scenario front; our effortrs continue, but the summer doldrums are working their way around and the upcoming returns to school; work; and ASL events of the Fall are eating into time, so the project is still ticking along. We've got 3 playtests underway so far still on the first scenarios, and a full edit job pending for yours truly to the scens overall to incorporate all of the various items our proofreaders have found so far. :-) Thanks to eveyone who has been involved in this project! I cannot believe how far it has gotten this last summer with the additional efforts of the group assisting me with all manner of design items. We still have a long Way to go before its all ready, but its nice to see the "end of the beginning" at least!
Just chatted with Ian Willey this day, and he is working on a rather unique sniper reminder clix base we came up with. He thinks it will be arriving soon and he plans to have it ready as he manages to squeeze it into his miniature painting schedule, but it should hopefully be a grand exhibit for all! I must recommend visiting walladvantage.blogspot.com to anyone ASL related. Ian runs a first rate ASL blog.

We're almost ready to come "out of construction" here, and begin operations as the new "home" for the Point Blank! Club Newsletter. I am hoping to coincide the official announcements of the blogspot on the Club Listservs and the Gamesquad Forums in conjuntion with two events: the Jul- Aug 2012 issue release, and the first scenario of the Nederlanders Marsche! scenario pack : SSND1: "Tooth and Nail". ( which is currently in playtest.)
With that in mind, and a house move into my new permanent home upcoming this next week, it is shaping up to be a busy week for me, indeed.
KRL, and enjoy the rest of your Summer!

One of our new readers who stumbled across an older copy of Point Blank! asked if there are any weblinks for where to find the other available issues. As I find this a very well intended question, I thought I would begin with links to each of the still available "back issues".

That is every issue still in electronic existence in my possession. Unfortunately after the house fire I lost the CPU as well as everything else, and all the pre - 2010 issues were on there.
I heartily recommend anyone interested in the initial offerings of Point Blank! ( from 1999 to 2001) consider using the CSW or GS forums to ask for an e copy to be made available from someone who may still have one. This is probably the best bet to secure a copy of the early issues.
An update as many are interested in the "Nederlanders Marsche" scenario pack under development here. We are currently well into initial playtesting of the first 4 scens, with the next four in markup stages after the final historical research comments were received. I would like to thank everyone assisting on this project, and most specifically: Paul Weir, Kevin Kenneally, Herr v Marwitz, Andrew Kerekes, Steve Bowen, Dennis Donovan, Eoin Corrigan, ( for historical research and proofreading) and the playtesters working on this as well. I believe the first installment "Tooth and Nail" will be ready for the July - August issue, which will also appear here when ready.
Til Later, and we're still "under construction"

While considering new "homes" for the upload of the Club Newsletter 'Point Blank!' and their various problems of either incorporating many extraneous advertising frames around the product, such as at the Scribd site, or the uploaded file limits of the GameSquad location servers, or the requirements for 'joining' the Yahoo Groups to access their download files sections; I have decided that imbedded file within the blogspot should be the optimal method for distribution ( I hope). If not, then this endeavour may just reform itself into a blog forum in order to allow for better overall reader access.
The Point Blank! Is the newsletter for the SVASL and NorCal ASL Clubs. It is provided free of charge to anyone brave enough to read its contents, and represents my efforts of "giving back to ASL what ASL has given me".
With that said, consider this site under construction still as of the time of this posting.
