MMP is proud to announce our collaboration with three well-known ASL
grognards to produce a new Action Pack. ASL Action Pack 6: Decade of
War—will have three new mapboards and ten new scenarios using them.

When talking ASL, Gary Fortenberry, Charlie Kibler, and Bob McNamara
need no introduction; all three were major figures in ASL at The
Avalon Hill Game Company before MMP took over ASL development. The new
mapboards—based on a concept that Gary has been toying with for a
number of years—resemble two half-boards placed side-by-side and allow
new mapboard configurations not possible before. (Imagine a pair of
current maps laid side by side, long edges abutting. One of the new
maps would lay across the ends of the two maps, adjacent to both. It
allows for some very interesting new combinations, and the maps
themselves are pretty cool in their own right.) Each map is
backprinted with an almost-exact copy designed to fit geomorphically
with existing maps no matter which orientation is used.

The scenarios consist of a battle a year for the ten year period of
1936-1945 and feature the combined research and design skills of Fort,
Charlie, and Mac. They involve the Spanish Civil War, the
Sino-Japanese War, France 1940, Malaya, The Philippines, the East
Front, and the Bulge. Also included are optional Australian Balancing
System (ABS) handicap bids for each scenario, providing 8 levels of
balance for each battle.

Contents:

* 3 11″x16″ geomorphic mapboards
* 10 new scenarios
