Someone called for Oberst von Marwitz?
On topic:
Back then in the store, they had SL and ASL standing next to each other. It took me some time to grokk, that you not only need the ASLRB but also BV. This together was really big money for me while still at school. As the ASLRB really looked intimidating compared to SL with its programmed approach, I bought SL first.
I have played maybe half a dozen SL games (and had bought COI and the rest of the SL kit) which was a blast.
Then I concluded that it might be clever not to frist learn all the SL stuff and after that switch to ASL, especially, because I realized that after a while the programmed approach would turn into a burden.
So I bought the ASLRB and BV before really taking off with SL. Gratefully, this was exactly the right decision.
So much for saving funds... ?
If there hadn't been ASL, I would probably have indulged in SL.
