ASL – SS Leibstandarte Normandie Pack 6

SS Leibstandarte Normandie is an Advanced Squad Leader (ASL) scenario pack focused on the actions of the SS Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler division during the 1944 Normandy campaign.

The module covers engagements involving this elite SS formation fighting Allied forces following the D-Day landings, primarily against British and Canadian units. The scenarios take place in the Norman bocage, fortified villages, and key road networks around Caen and the Allied advance routes.

Game System
The module is designed for Advanced Squad Leader, the standard tactical system for WWII squad-level combat.

The scenarios make extensive use of ASL rules for bocage terrain, armored warfare, urban and rural combat, and elite SS formations. Emphasis is placed on German unit quality, Allied armored firepower, and the extreme difficulty of movement in compartmentalized terrain.
