About this expansion

Beyond Valor: ASL Module 1 is a two-player Advanced Squad Leader module released in 1985, with an approximate play time of 120 minutes. Paired with the ASL Rulebook, it delivers a substantial collection of forces, maps, markers, fortifications, and scenarios in one box.

The settings include Finland, Poland, Russia, Germany, Lithuania, and Latvia, with locations such as Stalingrad, Warsaw, Brest-Litovsk, Leningrad, and Berlin.
