Description Edit | History

Advanced Squad Leader is the completely reorganized and re-designed version of the original Squad Leader system. While ASL is "advanced," it actually is a simpler game than the original Squad Leader became after the first gamette. This three-ring binder is the basic rules for the entire system, and provides the ultimate combination of playability and detail. Full-color charts and beautiful pictures make this the most readable of rulebooks - and includes a full-service index as well for quick reference.

And ASL is more than "squads" - the system includes the rules for everything from machine guns to bazookas, tanks and ordnance weapons, paratrooper drops, glider landings and beach assaults. And much more. This set of rules is constantly kept up to date by expansions included with the modules.

This is just the rulebook. To start playing the game the newcomer must get, at least, the Beyond Valor - ASL Module 1. There are a great many ASL Modules available.

Avalon Hill Complexity Rating: 10

Expanded by:

ASL is devloped as a real-time computer game version under the name Close Combat (published by Microsoft, Strategic Simulations Inc. and Matrix Games).

12 ASL Scenario Speadsheet
Speadsheet of over 600 scenarios that I own from the core modules for ASL (all), DASL, SASL, HASL (some), Journals, Action/scenario packs, ASLSK, plus many 3rd party scenarios, analyzed/described by 12 parameters including two location fields, Unit IDs, approximate size, turn #, SSR/OB features, maps used, plus the usual you expect, all in an Excel speadsheet. This is not comprehensive by any means but is ready for you to add your other scenarios to and/or filter/sort as you like. Enjoy ... but please, send me no errata!

4 ASL Country Placards
I created these placards in MS Word when I reorganized my ASL counters. I didn't want to put the labels on the boxes themselves so I printed a placard for each nationality and then applied the .5 in x 1.75 in labels to them (the file is here on the BGG site). I printed them on both sides of card stock using my HP printer.

8 ASL Counter Labels (.5 in x 1.75 in) v1
I recently reorganized my ASL counters using Plano 3701, 3700 & 3600 storage boxes. I wanted to be able to see an index of what was in the box and where so I created these labels. They're formatted to fit a standard Avery template 5267/8167. The labels themselves are .5 in high x 1.75 in. wide. There are 80 labels per sheet and I've uploaded labels for French, American (including Marines), German, Russian, Italian, SS, Japanese and British counters.
