Advanced Squad Leader (ASL) is a wargame that simulates small unit actions (individual and squad level) in World War II. It is not simply a game, but rather a detailed game system. There are approximately 200 official scenarios, and players can create their own. Between the ASL starter kit (12 page-rulebook) and a complete set (14 boxed modules) is a wide range of possibilities covering every theater, period and nationality of the war.
The game was introduced by Avalon Hill in 1985. Today it is printed under license from Hasbro by Multi-Man Publishing, a gaming company started by Curt Schilling and his partners to preserve ASL and other Avalon Hill games.
There exists a large and active world-wide hobby community around ASL, including tournaments, community websites, clubs, and fanzines. An active trading and auction community enables participants to buy and sell used ASL modules. ASL can be played over the Internet using a system called "VASL". A number of third-party developers publish modules and scenarios for ASL.
