Description
Operation Watchtower, Historical Study
Module (number 1), focuses on
the bitter fighting on Guadalcanal. Unlike other ASL modules,
the
goal of this one is to give the players a better understanding of
why the campaign was fought the way it was. A guide that
covers the entire campaign is included, along with 16 scenarios that
follow the guide.
The premier tactical game system, ASL allows players to portray any
platoon to regimental sized battle from World War II.
Official
ASL scenarios span from the Spanish Civil War and Japanese-Sino War to
post World War II brushfire wars. The design your own rules makes for
limitless play.
Each unit represents a squad, crew, leader or weapon. Each
hexagon represents 40 meters of terrain. Each turn represents
2
minutes of time.
The ASL system is vast, with many modules available. Each
module
focuses on a particular theme and provide counters, maps and scenarios
to play. For those new to the hobby, there are starter kits
that
allow players to become familiar with the core rules.
Operation Watchtower is not complete by itself,
ownership of the ASL Rulebook, all core
modules, Action Pack #2 and boards 5, 15, 43 and 52 are required to
play.
