Advanced Squad Leader is a game of tactical combat in WWII. It has been around since 1985, and is one of the most complicated wargames ever produced. Originaly published by Avalon Hill, the rights are now owned by Hasbro, and licensed to Multi-Man Publishing.

I can (barely) remember when the original SL came out. However, I never got much chance to play it, and all I knew of the sequel gamettes was what I read in The General and Campaign. It wouldn't be until the mid '90s before I got a chance to get ASL and start playing more than a couple times per decade.

As you can see in my record at the Scenario Archive I still haven't played all that much, and my record is, well, not so good. My semi-local gaming buddy Patch is a large part of what keeps my hand in, as between my propensity to wander between hobbies, and the fact that I'm far more interested in wargames in general, instead of any one system, I would normally ignore ASL for a couple years between bouts of interest.
