The Avalon Hill Game Company produced the Advanced Squad Leader Game. As you browse this page, note that each Module, Annual and add-on component has a brief description describing module content , the maps (click here for general descriptions of the map boards), number of scenario's (click here for scenario list by module/magazine) and other information. I hope this will make it easier for you to see what we ASL'rs use to play Advanced Squad Leader.
Avalon Hill's former bi-monthly house magazine, The General, has published a number of ASL articles and scenarios over the years.
After market add-ons
Th modules are what makes Advanced Squad Leader tick. In addition to the ASLRB & mapboards 1-4, you'll need either the first Module, Beyond Valor, or the second Module, Paratrooper, to start playing ASL! Each individual module adds components such as varous counters, maps and rules that enhance & expand upon the previous modules. See the modules below for additional info.
| The Advanced Squad Leader Rule Book (The Rulebook for the WWII tactical warfare game system) This book is the heart of the system. It's chapters cover the rules of the game system and the specifications / notes on the Orders of Battle for the combatants - virtually every significant vehicle or piece of ordnance which saw action in WWII is represented. Note that some of the chapters are not included in the basic rulebook, but are included in one of the Modules (though they can be purchased seperately). |

The four HASL Modules are the "highest evolution" of the game system to date. The mapboards for each recreate the terrain of their battlefield in as exact detail as possible, using contemporary photos and source material. Each has a chapter of rules covering details specific to the battle covered. In addition to a number of conventional scenarios utilizing the maps and rules, campaign games are included. Players are given initial forces for the first scenario, and points with which to purchase other forces from historically available pools. Each campaign game consists of multiple scenarios - CG III in RB consists of 30 campaign days! Conservation of force becomes a factor, and long-term planning (such as intermediate objectives) as well.
