About this game

The gateway into the legendary Advanced Squad Leader system, teaching infantry and terrain rules through six carefully designed scenarios. ASL Starter Kit #1 strips away vehicles and ordnance to focus on the core infantry combat that makes ASL compelling: fire groups, morale, concealment, and terrain. The hex-and-counter format delivers tactical World War II combat at its most detailed, and the scenario-based learning curve lets new players build competence gradually. The most accessible entry to wargaming's deepest system.
