Advanced Squad Leader Advanced Squad Leader, and it predecessor Squad Leader, is the most successful wargame of all time. The game was a logical evolution of the Panzer Blitz game by Avalon Hill, bringing tactical warfare down to the squad level. It introduced phased turns and the concept of enemy activity during the player turn to mainstream gaming. Every major power has its own unique counters and all the minors are represented by generic colors. The game in its totality covers every small unit action that occurred during World War II, as well as notable engagements immediately before and after. No other game has been able to do that. Advanced Squad Leader at one time boasted a major gaming convention, the ASLOctoberfest in Ohio, dedicated solely to itself. No other game in history has had a following large enough to do so. When Avalon Hill went bankrupt, it sold the rights to Multi Man Publishing and allowed them to continue publishing the game. Players assume the role of a company, battalion or even regimental commander as they direct squad sized units over beautifully designed map boards. Each hexagon represents 40 meters across and each turn 2 minutes of real time. Games actual historical battles! Supplements are completely interchangeable with each other. Each one add additional units, map boards and scenarios. Each game comes with many scenarios that range from small games that can be played in a half hour to monster engagements that you'd better reserve the whole weekend for. The traditional way of starting the game is to buy the rule book and either Beyond Valor or Paratrooper (currently unavailable), but Multi Man Publishing has designed Starter Kits that let you jump right into the game with a minimum of expense or fuss. Other games usually require at least one earlier game in order to play. Almost all will require Beyond Valor. Feel free to contact us about game specific requirements.
