| The Guards Counter Attack, Scenario 1 of Squad Leader |
There was curiosity, though I suspect he was not truly keen on the game system.
WWII games had a lot of following in the 1980's and 90's. While I see the Flames of War stuff from time to time, I just cannot get excited about the minis systems, anywhere near as much as I was about Squad Leader.

As with Napoleonics, I have never had any interest in gaming WWII either.
Yes, I know that both are very popular periods with most wargamers (quite possibly the two most popular) but neither has ever piqued my interest.

There is a miniatures version of Squad Leader kicking around. I'll see if I can find some info on it.
Time was I tried to create a miniatures version myself, but lacking the actual game and relying upon an imperfect memory didn't get very far with it.
I really like those maps
Yes Jeff, with the WWII games you and I are on the same page (for minis) - I do like some WWII computer and board-games.
The Advanced Squad Leader system (with larger maps and hexes) worked well with any 6mm miniatures - as it was designed for use with them. As I understand it a baseball pitcher bought the rights to ASL and has re-released it.
The Avalon Hill maps were always a treat to use. I played in one ASL game and liked the 'bigger' hexes as they did not change the size of the squad's 'pieces' only the vehicles.
