The game and three additional gamettes are open-ended, a trend in tactical board wargaming beginning from the 1970s and most notably seen in Avalon Hill's highly successful PanzerBlitz. But for the time being, I'm done tweaking this document.Īdvanced Squad Leader Starter Kit.Squad Leader is a game system depicting tactical combat in the Second World War. So I'm fairly confident that the material set forth herein is accurate.Īgain, I welcome feedback and corrections (especially).

Nevertheless, I do know how to read, and how to wargame (may I use that as a verb?), and have already received some valuable feedback that I've incorporated into the document. The downside, of course, is my lack of expertise with the rules just yet. The fact that I'm a newbie to ASL has, on balance, helped me put this together: it's given me the perspective of someone who doesn't know the game well and is, therefore, in desperate need of some robust player aid (more robust that what's currently available). At times, I've repeated information if necessary to make it readily available where it might be expected. I've done by best to lay the material out as logically as possible, and in the location where a player (particularly a new player, such as myself) would look for it. For example, with the exception of DR, DRM, and dr, I pretty much spell out EACH AND EVERY ASL abbreviation the first time it's used on a page. This version has been proofread, streamlined, and made even more user-friendly than the previous two. I attach a final full first draft of this annotated, comprehensive, turn sequence reference guide.
