Heat of battle ... strange, brave, and tragic things can happen in the "cauldron of battle".

Tutorial 11 is a two part tutorial, with part B showing simple techniques to minimize the impact of those pesky and annoying snipers in the Advanced Squad Leader system.

Tutorial 11 is a two tutorial, with part A showing how the mechanics of snipers work in the Advanced Squad Leader system.

In the 10th Boot Camp I show you the four important points of routing and go through some examples using German and Russian units. I cover rout principles and what you can do with your units after their morale breaks.

In the 9th Boot Camp I re-iterate the Defensive Fire Principles outlined in Boot Camp #8 showing more movement and fire examples.

In the 8th Boot Camp I go through all four types of defensive fire, and how the mechanics of simultaneous movement and fire works in ASL. Just to re-enforce how defensive fire works, I will be doing another video of a short skirmish between moving and defending units.

This 7th Boot Camp covers infantry fire mechanics, how to add up and manage firepower, how to calculate die roll modifiers (DRMs), how to use the Infantry Fire Table (IFT), and how to interpret results on that table.

This fifth Boot Camp covers basic line of sight (LOS) mechanics, the difference between obstacles and hindrances, and sprinkles in a little terrain effect modifier information. At the end I show how I attempt to visualize LOS during play.

Advanced Squad Leader Boot Camp #4: Infantry Bypass Movement This fourth Advanced Squad Leader tutorial session is a follow on to the previous where I expand on infantry movement by covering infantry bypass movement (vehicle bypass movement will not be covered until much later). I discuss the mechanics of bypass movement, LOS implications, and when it's advantageous to use. Then...

Advanced Squad Leader Boot Camp #3: Infantry Movement This third Boot Camp covers all the basics of infantry movement, MMCs, SMCs, support weapon portage points, etc. Infantry bypass movement will be covered in the next Boot Camp.
