If you're looking to dive into the tactical world of Advanced Squad Leader but find the main game a bit intimidating, Starter Kit #2 is a solid choice! It works as a standalone module, perfect for beginners or those seeking a smoother entry into this wargaming classic. Unlike the first kit, which focused solely on infantry, this one brings artillery to the table: anti-tank guns, mortars, and even the famous German "88" cannon join the fray. The goal is to teach you ASL rules in a more relaxed way, with an illustrated rulebook and a conversational style that makes learning easier. If you've played Starter Kit #1, you'll quickly grasp the new rules, as they're highlighted. And the best part: if you don't have the first kit, you can start right here! It comes with two new geomorphic map boards, plenty of counters, and 8 new scenarios that will place you in the heart of World War II, featuring German, American, British, and Italian forces. It's an excellent way to experience the thrill of tactical combat without facing a massive rulebook right away. Get ready to plan your maneuvers and roll the dice to see who comes out on top!
