Advanced Squad Leader: WWII Tactical Warfare

Rate this book
This is the rulebook (only) for the wargame Advanced Squad Leader. Unusually, this is one half of what is needed to play. The necessary physical components of the system are provided in the module Beyond Valor which covers fighting on the Eastern Front.

Hmm....rating this as a book is tricky, but despite the sarcastic comment by someone else, still possible I think. The book has high production values and that was part of the appeal. Rating this solely as a piece of literature, I think one has to give it at least average marks. The footnotes alone make it of at least passing interest to a researcher of Second World War infantry and armoured warfare (though the lack of detailed references make it less useful for that purpose). Lavishly illustrated with colour plates and well laid out, the prose is nonetheless (of necessity) filled with technical and legalistic jargon.

Don't think I'll ever actually 'finish' it. About a 200 page rulebook including charts, etc. Awesome game!

Avalon hill was a great game company.

This is not actually a book. Why not list your refrigerator manual while you're at it.

Great rulebook for the best WWII tactical system. Re-read it from time to time.
