Description

Get ready to immerse yourself in one of the most intense battles of World War II with Red Barricades: ASL Historical Module 1. This expansion for Advanced Squad Leader and Beyond Valor: ASL Module 1 drops you into the midst of the battle for Stalingrad, specifically around the Red Barricades ordnance factory. With 7 ASL scenarios and 3 separate campaign games, you'll experience the gritty reality of war as you fight for control of the factories and surrounding buildings. The campaign games are the heart of Red Barricades, where you'll engage in campaign days, consolidate your positions, purchase reinforcements, and prepare for the next phase of the battle. As you navigate the complex rules and hexagon grid, you'll encounter historically accurate terrain features like debris, railway embankments, and storage tanks, as well as new weapons like the Russian Molotov Projector. With two detailed map sheets and new rules to master, Red Barricades offers a challenging and rewarding experience for 2 players. Be prepared to invest around 180 minutes per playthrough, but the depth and complexity of the game make it well worth the time. Published in 1990, Red Barricades remains a classic wargame that will test your strategic skills and keep you coming back for more.
