The ultimate squad level wargame. No other can match its combination of beauty, detail and excitement. ASL is a system based on the original Squad Leader game, but revised and expanded so that ultimately a player can simulate any company or battalion-level ground action in any theater of WWII. Playing pieces (counters) represent squads, half-squads and crews, plus individual leaders, heroes, vehicles and guns. Each ASL module contains eight or more carefully balanced, historically based scenarios - but players can also design their own using the 40+ geomorphic SL/ASL mapboards, numerous terrain overlays, copious historical notes, and thousands of counters depicting virtually every vehicle, gun and troop type in action during the war by every major and minor combatant nation."
In addition to the above, there have been many "amateur" products released over the years since ASL was first released in 1985, so that now there are hundreds of scenarios and campaigns that can be played in addition to the "official" ones produced by TAHGC (The Avalon Hill Game Company). It is quite possible to play nothing but ASL for the rest of your life, and you still might not get to explore every facet of the game.
