ASL, but for someone looking for most of ASL without nearly the same rules overhead Schwere Kompanie is the way to go. You could practically play every ASL scenario with that rules set. |

SL the very first, still without Tanks and all those extra rules, and after that CrossFire and Force on Force |

Actually, I think Academy Games Conflict of Heroes series is the best. Mark |

Conflict of Heroes operates at the same scale, fewer rules and less clunky game sequencing. The big bonus is the use of chits and cards to reduce CRTs to almost none. A few die rolls where the relevant info is carried on the counters. Plus simpler LOS rules etc. and if you miss an expansion you are not out in the cold or forced to pay hundreds of dollars on eBay. |

I enjoyed SL a lot back in the day |

Another vote for Conflict of Heroes. Stephen hit on the high points. |

SL without the tanks. They really killed the rules. |
| Wargamer Blue | 22 May 2017 10:55 p.m. PST |
Combat Commander. My favorite game to play. |

NUTS! is my favorite rules for WW2 squad/platoon level actions. |
| Timotheous | 24 May 2017 6:08 p.m. PST |
I liked SL + Cross of Iron the best. Never could get on with ASL. Too complex for me. |
| Michael Hatch | 26 May 2017 6:40 a.m. PST |
Schwere Kompanie for the win! |
| (Leftee) | 26 May 2017 9:28 p.m. PST |
Fireball Forward – keeps the fun in the game. |

Conflict of Heroes has my vote |

Anyone know how to get hold of Schwere Kompanie? The Paypal link here doesn't seem to work (and there's no price either) link |

@alphus99 The ruleset is 15 USD. You need a paypal account. The Buy Now link should take you to the sign in screen. Troy |

Timotheous I agree. Anyone play old school tactical? I like that |
| huron725 | 01 Apr 2018 3:17 p.m. PST |
Of the 5 you've mentioned: SL I really like the simplicity of the Lock n Load series of games. |
| GGouveia | 23 Apr 2018 10:27 a.m. PST |
Original SL without all the extra complexities. |
| Dexter Ward | 01 May 2018 2:42 a.m. PST |
Original Squad Leader, with the minimum added rules needed. The armour rules in Cross of Iron are good, all the stuff like bore sighting, bypass movement and half squads is a nightmare and should be avoided. |
