Reply here if you are up for it or fancy learning it (got the rules but no one has the time to play it kinda thing). Not looking to play sharks just a low key game.

It's infantry only (no big guns) I don't think the starter kit has the sniper mechanism but it would be easy to add in. It's good to have it because it kind of trains you into being careful about firing when there is a low hit probability, just because you can. It makes it far more risky to do that.
Pretty much everything else is 'normal' rules but infantry only.

I picked up Special Ops which has two scenarios specifically for SK1 and a copy of the SK1 scenarios module, because Line of Sight is even MORE fun with hedgerows.

I still firmly believe ASL is far better than its tactical competitors on the market. I see Combat Commander as a kind of baby tactical game. It is not true that command paralysis does not exist in ASL, that is why die rolls are made for various activities. It is annoying blowing a tread on soft ground in a tank while just moving along.
ASL is undoubtedly hard and easy to give up on but there is nothing like deciding to light up a forest to give you smoke cover and then find half the forest is ablaze and you can't even get to your initial objective and, oh fuck, the wind is blowing in your direction and you can't get out of the way of your rapidly spreading forest fire.
Should anyone else wish to give it a shot you will need ASLSK#1 as a minimum (or full ASL rules), VASL downloaded as a module in VASSAL, buckets of patience and an ability to say 'thank you very much sir, may I have another one' in the style of Animal House initiations.
I may well be a shitty teacher, but who else out there is offering to help foul mouthed FAT:ties learn the greatest tactical game on earth?
Repo and FlimFlam should have learned this years ago but are wimps of the highest degree for bailing and falling off the learning curve.
Sag is being a total hero and really going for it, I am pleased to report.
