This game, in other words, was crying out for a solitaire variant. With the best will in the world you know that there is an HMG and 10-3 leader under that "?" counter, and so you subconsciously or self-consciously move the other side's troops accordingly. The scenarios are still entertaining and exciting, but somehow that ultimate dimension of guesswork isn't there. Come to think of it, a lot of ASL players don't know anybody who would be interested in playing, so they try to play both sides themselves. It's also impractical to ask a friend just to pop around for an hour to play the odd turn in between other events, like dinner and going out. As a result, you'll be lucky to finish the scenario by midnight.

You then may have two hours play, slowed down by references to the copious rulebook, measurements for LOS, and agonising over whether to push a squad into the line of fire of a stack of defenders. Of that evening, you spend maybe an hour choosing a scenario, picking the right counters out of the literally thousands and setting them up while trying to think of a game-winning strategy. If you are lucky enough to find a human opponent (well, I've never persuaded any of our pets to play), then you've got maybe one evening once a week to have a game, assuming you don't have a lot of other commitments.
