Description Edit | History

Advanced Squad Leader (ASL) Starter Kit #1 teaches new players the basic concepts of the major Infantry and Terrain rules from Advanced Squad Leader by using an abbreviated and illustrated rulebook.

The ASL Starter Kit #1 is a stand-alone game, with six scenarios that require only the maps and counters provided in the module. The two mapboards that are included also work with both Squad Leader and Advanced Squad Leader, and the scenarios can be played using full Advanced Squad Leader rules if desired.

Contents:

  • One sheet of die-cut playing pieces
  • Three scenario cards with six infantry-only scenarios
  • Two 8"x22" Geomorphic mapboards mounted on heavy cardstock
  • Twelve page Illustrated rulebook
  • Two dice

Time Scale: Two minutes per turn
Unit Scale: Individual men, half-squads, and squads
Players: Two
Playing Time: Up to 4 hours per scenario
Complexity: Medium
Solitaire Suitability: High

Note: Rules for large guns and tanks are not covered in the first starter kit, but are developed in the later starter kits:

21 ASLSK1 Tutorial EOP No.2 (S2 War of the Rats)
A complete tutorial example of play (EOP) to demonstrate the practice of the Support Weapons (SW) rules and continued practice of the Infantry rules of ASLSK1, using scenario S2 (War of the Rats). Serves as a complement to the excellent Rules tutorials already available. (V2.0 includes the added feature of a board counter inventory after EVERY player turn for added convenience. The unique LOS features, idiosyncratic to board "Zulu," are ellucidated and an optional solution presented to make the LOS simulation more consistent with ASL/SK. Finally some errors and oversights have been corrected which necessitated changes in the flow of the battle. Enjoy! 450+ downloads of prior versions)

25 ASLSK1 Tutorial EOP No.1 (S1 Retaking Vierville)
A complete tutorial example of play (EOP) to demonstrate the practice of the Infantry rules of ASLSK1, using scenario S1: Retaking Vierville. Serves as a complement to the excellent Rules tutorials already available. (V2.0 has been improved to include a board counter inventory after EVERY Player Turn, facilitating the convenience of doing the EOP in several sittings. Additionally, it has been proofed carefully for errors and typos, as well as a few style elements. Enjoy! 500+ downloads of prior versions)

10 SK Explained with lots of pictures v1.0
An old project when I was helping out newbies. Goal is to get you "into the game" with minimal amount of rules & jargon. I later add to & modify these rules so that you will be playing the first scenario with everything in mind. Ver1.0 You will STILL need to read the rules to get every last detail.
