Scenario Designers Guide (2006)

The Scenario Designers Guide is a 72-page manual provides everything needed to start designing your own ASL scenarios! From conception to research to design to playtesting to publishing, it gives expert advice and guidance. If you have never tried designing scenarios, the Scenario Designers Guide makes it easy. It also includes valuable appendices such as Victory Condition and Scenario Special Rule compendiums. The Scenario Designers Guide includes two FREE scenarios. These challenging tournament-sized scenarios take place on the island of Java at the end of World War II. One scenario features the last independent offensive by the Imperial Japanese Army! The other features British and Japanese troops fighting together on the same side! It continues the Desperation Morale tradition of offering tools and resources for the ASLer.
