I think the first scenario starts with one US squad and a couple of German squads. The example of play that Barth posted is super-helpful in visualizing the scenario. After reading through his Turn 1 I realized I don't have nearly a decent enough grasp on the rules...so I'm going to need to get back and read them again.

I finally finished clipping/putting everything together a couple of days ago and tried pushing a few counters around but couldn't get the hang of it - more specifically I think I did get the hang of it only to discover I was doing it wrong.

Other way about BC...

First scenario is
1 German Leader, 1 German Squad + machine gun
1 US Leader, 2 US Squads + 1 machine gun

I knew it was one way or the other...  O:-)

I'm getting it to the table for full-on scenario play tomorrow afternoon/this weekend and doing a write-up or video for it ASAP. Thinking a video would be better...I finally remembered my studio light from work so it won't be so damned dark in this place.

No worries.  O0

Better change the thread title before GJK has a heart attack though...  ;)


I was thinking the same thing  :DD


My GOD I was about to ask what you beasts had done to my beloved Advanced SQUAD Leader!

Yikes! I just happened to stumble across this thread less than five minutes ago, i'm sorry i was unavailable for comment.  In the future, know that you are free to post any rules related questions on the BGG entry for APL: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/201516/advanced-platoon-leader
where I will be more likely to see them quicker and can subsequently subscribe to each thread so i am alerted to further questions/comments.  I applaud you brave souls for attempting to learn the game.  I admit i am not the best writer of rules and hope this lack did not prove too much of a hindrance.  Oh and sorry for repeatedly saying route instead of rout   :-[
Again, i appreciate your interest in the game and hope you are able to enjoy it!
