Along with Victory in the Pacific, it's one of the last few Avalon Hill wargames to still support multiple national face to face tournaments.ĪSL is notable for being quite rules-heavy and is often cited as one of the most complex wargames ever.
As the name suggests, it is based on a previous game called Squad Leader. Today, it is maintained by Multi-Man Publishing (MMP).
Advanced Squad Leader, or ASL for short, is a Wargame set in World War II and first released in 1985 by Avalon Hill.
