Any SP players also do tabletop wargames?

Squad Leader is an incredible game but most of the fun of it is captured by WinSPWWII. It has some really neat features and some unique rules that make the game one of a kind. Frankly, if I could do it all over again I would never have played Squad Leader and instead started with Advanced Squad Leader. There is a long story to all of this but I can assure you that picking up either the original SL or ASL would be money well spent.

A copy of SL, used and punched goes for less than $30 on ebay. On the other hand you can buy the ASL rulebook for around $50. In fact ASL, to some extent is still in print by a little company called Multi-Man publishing.

Either way, if you love Steel Panthers you'll love Squad Leader.

Guess that this Vassal engine thing becomes useful then.

Takes me back.
Must be 20 years since I last played Squad Leader.

Just letting any Squad Leader players know that the 2012 Squad Leader Tournament is open for registration. The tournament is quite flexible and will accommodate players of varying skill. If you've been considering getting back into Squad Leader now is the time!

Please don't post questions/replies about this tourney here, it's kinda rude to Shrapnel; however, if you do have questions PM me or get in touch with Bill Thompson through the link above.

Good Luck!
