Reviews/Description

A system for playing ASL scenarios solitaire. Rather than adapting existing scenarios, this system uses generic scenarios and random activation of enemy units to create new scenarios. "Campaigns" are encouraged. Rules (Chapter S) provide for US, German, Russian and Partisan forces only. Appropriate informational counters and 14 separate missions are included. Yanks is a prerequisite.

2nd EDITION: A greatly expanded product from the original. Now includes rules to cover all nationalities except Axis Minors and Finns (the necessary rules for which will be included in future products). Chapter S has been expanded accordingly, and there are now 21 individual missions included. Obviously the modules featuring the nationalities you want to play are prerequisites, e.g., if you want to use the French you will need CdG.
