Description

This Starter Kit is one of 3 sets that is designed to introduce new players to the most successful wargame of all time in an inexpensive and easy to learn way.  The Starter Kits leave out the complex and rarely used rules, instead focusing on the core rules that made the game as popular as it is.  The boards and counters of this kit are fully compatible with the core ASL game system.

Starter Kit #1 focuses on the infantry rules, without the more complex armor and gun rules.  It is complete to itself, including rules, 2 maps, 6 scenarios and counters required to 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.

Unlike most ASL modules, this game is complete with everything needed to play the 6 scenarios included.
