The beauty of the ring binder was that one could reorganise charts in the order you wanted

Why is Chapter S, the Solitaire Module no longer included in any of the formats? I'm not an experienced player and I own the first three Starter kits, and I also own an old copy of the ring binder rule book. I really like the Solitaire rules and was hoping it would be in the PDF version, but it's not in any of them now.

Hey what a great tip to have the binding sliced off and the book spiral bound. I did this with both the rulebook and the chapter H. Also let me take out chapter K to make the book a little bit smaller. Thanks!

I was hoping that MMP would make more use of the Wargame Vault system (i.e. licensed PDFs) for other out of print titles as they have for the ASL Journal and ASL Annual publications. ABTF @ say, €40 is a no-brainer. ABTF for €400+ second hand, no thanks.

Original SL is an incredible game (that's where most of us started) and can sustain a player for a long time. The only problem is the player base is very small.

@@briangulley6027 This is very true, but doing a direct comparison between SL and ASL game stats on Vassal (not counting undocumented FTF games) there were 66 SL play rooms created, and 4875 ASL play rooms created. In fact, ASL is the most active classic wargame played online (and probably FTF) by a substantial margin.

I so guess there are two basic options for getting started as a complete newbie: 1) acquiring the starter kits and expansions and 2) picking up the ASL pocket bundle and an appropriate module? I suppose the starter kits were designed prior to the wealth of online tutorials and were similar to the example of play chapter you mentioned in this overview. It almost seems if one was planning on sticking around in ASL, the more efficient option would be #2, though I guess it would entirely hinge on the appropriate selection of a module... or am I just inferring way too much into your comment about these being all you would need to have to learn to play (combined w/ tutorials on here/etc). If that is the case, any standout recommendations on modules?

I have a question; at this point I'm torn between buying the bundle and just buying Chapter H, as I'm fine with the Rat Chart for now; but I am intrigued by the E Rule book. My question on that is this, as technology changes and computers crash is there a way to assure one that they can get their copy replaced or restored in case anything happens?
