=== Scenarios ===

The meat of the game is around Scenarios. The first step to playing is to pick a Scenario. There are [https://www.aslscenarioarchive.com/index.php thousands] in existence. A Scenario is one page that outlines:
<ul>
<li>A brief bit of historical background to the scenario
<li>The victory conditions. [[Just as Planned|Very Important]]
<li>The boards to be used and how to arrange them
<li>The forces each side gets and where they can setup
<li>Some Scenario Special rules, because why not make an already complicated game, more complicated
<li>A short note on how things turned out historically
</ul>

Victory conditions are usually about what one expects, take these buildings or that hilltop, or kill more enemy troops than you lose, or drive through them and exit some number of units off the board, etc.. For the most part scenarios are balanced and one can always reference the reported win/loss ratio for a given scenario online. Crazy ASLers!
