Introduction:
HOB's High Ground! features two geomorphic playing boards and 8 new scenarios to be used as an expansion to the Advanced Squad Leader rules set. These boards create a large four-level hill, large saddle, or valley that allows players to experience the importance of gaining the high ground in World War II battles.
This expansion includes 8 scenarios; Australians vs. the Italians near Tobruk, American and Japanese on Guadalcanal, British and Japanese in Burma, Italian and Greeks in Albania, Germans and Greeks in Greece, French and Italians in the Alps, Germans vs. the Russians in the Ukraine, and again near Kursk.
To play all the scenarios you need boards 8, 16, 18, 22, 30, 31, 33 and 37.
