Squad Leader. The mere mention of it to a seasoned grognard, and they get a misty eye thinking about it. This group is not for the Advanced Squad Leader system(it is a good game too, but not the focus of this group). Instead, this group is focussing on the classic World War 2 infantry board wargames that came prior to ASL.

Namely, this includes (links lead to the appropriate page on BGG): Squad Leader, Cross of Iron, Crescendo of Doom and GI: Anvil of Victory.

Want to learn (or relearn) how to play these games? Thinking of playing these games on the VASSAL engine, but need opponents? Considering a trade, selling yours or know of a good place (or URL) for part of the above set?

Do it here. Avalon Hill may be dead and gone, but Squad Leader will always remain.
