Description

CH's tribute to the same battles covered by TOT 2 is aimed at giving you everything they did ... and more. More counters (hundreds and hundreds more, in color), more geo boards (compared to: 0), color scenarios, and a color cardstock folder-style wrap. New color military art throughout. Kreigsmarine-badged MMCs. 'German' colored Waffen SS (not black). New AFVs and Guns. New aircraft. New terrain. The tribute comes in the way of a scenario-for-scenario history, same originating book ("No Triumphant Return"). THIS IS AN ALL NEW PRODUCT AND IS NOT A REPRINT OF TOT 2.

There are a few things you will NOT get in this rendition of this history for ASLers. No 4 point type whatsoever—none of us are getting any younger!—on the scenario cards. Historical summaries are concise, as are SSRs. The hobby has come a long way since then, more rules are in the ASLRB, standard (e.g., Village Terrain [B31.] among other concepts). Overlays are not needed—as production capabilities allow for the provision of new AP-style geomorphic boards—depicting the Aller River, the 'railroad embankment' and more. The new counters provide Ungarisch units in German colors, and other new counters that obviate the need for SSR-treatments. Old geo board are replaced, and a complete collection of color combat counters is provided if you own both sets—just bring your markers.

ACROSS THE ALLER 1 focuses on the Germans—with a sheet of new color die-cut MMC/SMC/SW counters (280 ½ counters), a sheet of 5/8" counters, Chapter H notes, and the first 10 scenarios of the collection (all in color format). You also receive color wrap packaging on heavy stock, and 3 new geomorphic boards in the new AP-style treatment (compatible with all system geo boards).
