Watch “Advanced Squad Leader Scouting Report 92 - Starter Kit #1,” a board game review for Advanced Squad Leader: Starter Kit #1 on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Advanced Squad Leader Academy on YouTube:
I do an unboxing and tell those interested why they should start with the SK system instead of the full ASL system. It's been years, maybe 5 years, since the Starter Kits have been in print. But they're back. Essentially the same, but now printed in China.
