Description

Paratrooper: ASL Module 2 is a thrilling expansion to the Advanced Squad Leader series, designed specifically as an introductory module for Squad Leader players looking to dive into the world of ASL. This module is not a standalone game, but rather a supplement that requires ownership of ASL and boards 1-4 to play. With its unique blend of infantry encounters and minimal use of vehicles and ordnance, Paratrooper offers a fresh and exciting experience for players. The eight included scenarios, such as Defiance on Hill 30 and Trapped, are carefully crafted to emphasize the intense and chaotic nature of airborne invasions, like the one in Normandy. As a game designed by Don Greenwood and James Stahler, Paratrooper boasts a modular board and hexagon grid mechanics, making for a challenging and immersive experience. While the game rules may take some time to learn, the payoff is well worth the effort. With a playtime of around 120 minutes, Paratrooper is perfect for players looking for a engaging and strategic experience. First published in 1986, this classic expansion has been updated over the years, with the second edition including additional mapboards. Whether you're a seasoned Squad Leader player or new to the ASL series, Paratrooper: ASL Module 2 is an excellent way to experience the thrill of World War II wargaming.
