Excellent, thank you, I'll ask for Combat Mission for Christmas. Did a lot of Squad Leader and a little bit of ASL as a kid before moving on. It'll be nice to try a SL like game on the computer all these years later.
If you liked ASL, you will love this. Imagine being able to play without spending 99% of your time looking up obscure rules. Get
Combat Mission: Afrika Korps. It is the latest in the series. There is a demo on the site.
