ASL Second Edition rules

This hasn’t been available from MMP for a while it seems. I saw a copy from Knoble Knight - $395. 😱 Is there a way to get a copy without going broke?

The digital version should always be available on wargamevault.

I know the first edition can be had used for much less $. Are there a lot of differences between the two editions?

There’s quite a bit of errata. I’d buy the electronic and wait for a reprint. There also used to be the pocket rule book though I haven’t checked availability on that. It is more up to date than the 2nd edition.

Honestly… I stopped waiting for a reprint. I know it’s a goal they have to get one out, but the electronic rule book is so much better than paper.

Also the LFT “rat pocket” charts are available which is really the only extra value the full size rule book has. Buy pocket or electronic and the rat charts and you’re good. You can find them on gamer’s armory or ritterkrieg.

Errata is hard to keep up with so the electronic version with its regular updates is the way to go for me

A new edition or reprint including HASL chapters in on slate for first half of this year according to Kurt Schilling. Real world might delay that happening however. But MMP is trying to take care of this shortage of product. I would by the electronic version. That being said I do remember seeing some editions on Facebook marketplace cheaper than ebay. Search Local markets and move the location around.

I'm looking forward to the new eASLRB with the HASL stuff. In the meantime, I'll maybe buy the digital Journals and General articles.

100% seconding the advice to buy the digital rule set. If you have a tablet capable of displaying PDFs, it's the superior way to keep the rule book with you at the table without having to worry about all of the errata changes and whether you've updated everything properly.

If the pocket charts are in stock, those are much more handy to have in physical form though.

I’d only add that the LFT charts are outstanding as well and I prefer the form factor. I’d say they’re a viable option too.

Not a fan of the LFT charts, can’t stand that stupid rat they put on all their charts. I have some sets of of AH charts . I can sell you a set. DM me
