ASL Action Pack #6: A Decade of War

About this expansion

ASL Action Pack #6: A Decade of War is a two-player Advanced Squad Leader expansion with an estimated play time of 240 minutes. It presents ten scenarios spanning nearly ten years of conflict, from the Spanish Civil War in 1936 through the final battles of the Second World War in 1945.

Designed with tournament players in mind, these scenarios require an expert level of game knowledge, while remaining accessible to casual players through optional Australian Balancing System provisions. ABS allows players to bid secretly for a side and handicap level, with higher bids creating a greater handicap.

The action ranges across Spain, China, France, Malaya, the Philippines, Russia, Belgium, and Germany. The scenario lineup includes Far From Home, 800 Heroes, The Generalissimo’s Own, Quagmire, Kleckerweise, Sat Sri Akal!, Taking Heads, Nisbne, Nyet!, Desobry Defiant, and Shouting into the Storm.

• Three double-sided 11×16 geomorphic mapboards, numbered 1a/b, 2a/b, and 3a/b
• A unique river bend and new map configurations
• Ten scenarios using the new maps
• Scenarios covering one battle in each year from 1936 through 1945

Each mapboard is compatible with previous ASL mapboards, offering fresh layouts for designers and players. The scenarios were developed by Gary Fortenberry, Charlie Kibler, and Bob McNamara, whose combined research and design work brings this wide-ranging historical period to the table.

A Decade of War is not a complete game and requires ownership of the core Advanced Squad Leader game system. It supports 2 players and was released in 2010.
