The tactical WW2 wargame Second Front has the basis for its mechanics drawn directly from the ASL rulebook. While it’s a simplified version of the game, it still offers players challenges and the ability to play solo on your schedule.
I discovered I created this Second Front video almost 6 months ago, so I'm uploading it now...a bit late. Close Combat versus vehicles in Second Front is a bit of a mystery, and I attempt, once again, to show players the mechanics that are going on under the hood.
This multi-part series attempts to demystify Second Front AFVs for you by showing the ASL basis of the mechanics behind how they work within the game. This is in preparation to show you their tactical secrets within the game, and how the mechanics can be used for your gain

In this short video I'm going to show new players how defensive reaction works in Second Front (and in ASL), and how they can use it to their advantage during the Move & Fire Phase of the game.
Join Neal/Stew/Scott as we chat about ASL, Second Front, and anything else viewers want to chat about. We discuss the similarities and differences between Advanced Squad Leader and Second Front. What we like, what we dislike, and speculate on what's likely to be added (sooner or later).
In this first, informal, episode of "Friday Night Tactical" I play and walk you through the Second Front scenario "Find the Gun". It's a fairly simple and straightforward scenario with German infantry approaching American units in the cover of a multi-story stone building.
