Advanced Squad Leader

ASL is a foolish expedient for making idle people believe they are doing something very clever when they are only wasting their time. ~George Bernard Shaw (reworded)


ASL is a WWII tactical boardgame originally developed by Avalon Hill, now being continued by Multiman Publishing.
Scale is 40m per hex, 10 men per squad-counter, single leaders and vehicles.
Rules include, among many other things, amphibious landings, jungle, weather, air drop, caves, air support, off board artillery, river crossings, night scenarios, ski troops, desert...etc
