I "almost" purchased SL when Avalon Hill originally published it in 1977. SL was an infantry tactical level game system. It represented a huge evolution and leap in rule complexity from the platoon / company level combat of the Panzerblitz / Panzer Leader games.
I played a few introduction SL games and contemplated purchasing it many times. But, I always came back to my worn and tattered copies of Panzerblitz and Panzer Leader. Then, in 1985, when AH produced Advanced Squad Leader (ASL), making many of the original SL game components (counters, rules, etc.) obsolete and requiring players to digest a huge rules folder, I gave up on both the SL and ASL game systems.
