Book Description

Publication Date: 1985

CONTENTS: ? 4 11"x26" mounted, geomorphic mapboards with enlarged 2.2" hex grid ? 10 Scenarios ? 36 5" x 5 5/8" AFV Playing Aid cards featuring 72 prominent Russian and German AFV ~~ "STREETS OF FIRE is the first boxed module of DELUXE ASL; an enlarged 2.2" hex scale for playing ASL. The greatest thing about Deluxe ASL may be that once you know how to play ASL, you also know how to play Deluxe ASL. The rules, for all practical purposes, are identical; the only changes deal with the physical stacking or positioning of counters within the enlarged hexes. In short, Deluxe ASL is no more difficult than ASL; in fact, it is much more playable, due to the many conveniences proffered by the enlarged hex size. In essence, Deluxe ASL is simply ASL without stacking. There is sufficient room in each hex to allow over a dozen counters to be placed in each hex without placing one atop another. This makes the game play much faster, because pieces don't have to be constantly shuffled to count FP factors, or moved out of the way to check LOS or the height of buildings. Even systems counters can often be laid aside units, rather than stacked atop them, obscuring the;, identity. Other informational counters, such as CA markers, are not even needed, because CA is readily determined by placement within the hex. Deluxe ASL is so much easier to play that we even recommend the use of 1/285th scale miniatures for those interested in the ultimate panoramic splendor in their gaming. In short, if you enjoy ASL or SQUAD LEADER, we can't recommend this scale highly enough. It magnifies the play-ability and enjoyment of the game even more than it increases the size of the hexes themselves. In STREETS OF FIRE you'll receive four full-color, geo-morphic, mounted 11"x26" mapboards depicting typical urban terrain, and ten specially-designed scenarios... STREETS OF FIRE contains no rules or counters; ownership of SQUAD LEADER or ASL is required."
