How can one possibly choose any single scenario as the best of them all? For me, two factors led to this choice: and then, just when the situation simply can't get any more out-of-control, the American fighter-bombers roar across the sky. while the outnumbered Germans desperately try to prevent that. The Panther is nearly unkillable from the front, so the Americans desperately try to get a Sherman or a bazooka in position for a flank shot.
American tanks erupt into flames as the column breaks apart and dives for cover. The Panther's commander waits for his moment, utters a single word, and all hell breaks loose. July, 1944: A single German Panther tank, supported by one small AT gun and four SS squads, waits at a crossroads in the bocage in France to halt an American breakthrough.Ī large American force of both tanks and infantry comes into view moving down the road, unaware of the Germans lying in wait. Not only do I think that this is the best scenario in Hedgerow Hell, but it is also my pick for my favorite scenario in the entire ASL system. Older scenarios from the original Squad Leader system are OK if they have been revised for the ASL rules, or if you have played them using the ASL rules. If you have a favorite scenario that was not published in a module, add it to the ASL Rulebook entry.

With the ASL Rulebook and the core module "Beyond Valor" finally becoming available again, and with the starter kits introducing many new players to the game system, I think this would be a good time to talk about what your favorite scenarios are. and they, ultimately, are the true heart of the game. But while the ASL system itself, and its place in the wider world of boardgaming, has received much attention, little has been said about the individual scenarios. It has been the subject of many interesting discussions here on BGG.
ASL is one of the great success stories in wargaming.
