I tried to send this via E-mail but it didn't work.

If you don't care for the mail order promo please
ignore it -- Remember I was trying to email only.

Povl Pederson;

Well i haven't played SL since ASL came out but I'll vent
ure a guess at what your talking about.

There are two types of roads, paved and dirt.  They
can be differentiated by the slight difference in color.
As far as the rules are concerned they are the same exept
for some small differences like foxholes, mines, and
weather.

The pavements you refer to -- if they are the faint
painted grayish blue lines that go to each building
and connect to the roads.  As far as I can tell this
is cosmetic only and doesn't appear in the rules.

COI is real good (highly recommended) -- east europe armor
CoD is OK -- brits/french
GI is so-so - americans -- my so-so is mostly due to the overlap of when
   i got this module and when I started ASL -- it just doesn't compare.

As far as ASL goes -- it is a revamp of the rules and
   a very good one at that.  It makes SL look like a basic
   game and ASL has all the goodies.  It seems to play bette
   r and some rules are greatly enhanced,  snipers are abstr
   act, machine guns and other guns have multiple rate of
   fires,  armor and its rules are revamped.  Weather and
   many other bells and whistles are done in earnest.

HIT "N" NOW IF NOT INTERESTED IN MAIL-ORDER

If you have trouble getting SL/ASL or any game for that
   matter let me know.  I run a "for friends only" -- read
   for the fun of gaming not profit -- mail order company
   named "Battlefields Unlimitted".  I receive discounts
   on games and some supplies.
   If you are interested I can order stuff for you and
   send them throught whatever mail service you wish.

Basically, I will give you 30% off list price plus you
   pay for shipping.  As an example
   ASL $45  -- rules
   Beyond Valor $40 (i think) - german/russian counters
   subtot $85
   disc $85x0.30 = 25.50
   tot 59.50 + shipping to Europe

If shipping is less than $20 then you should be doing pretty good.  Turn arround time is about 1wk + time of
   shipment from US to Europe.
