The Tactical Training Series (TTS) was designed by Alan Yngve and others in the mid-to-late nineties. Anyone learning Squad Leader then probably used the TTS scenarios at some point. Alpha, Beta and Gamma introduced me to the tactics of fire and movement with programmed instructions and commentary in a way the confined streets of Stalingrad could not. In my opinion, it remains the best tool for learning the system. Since Alan Yngve and Advancephase.com (http://home.earthlink.net/~advancephase/) are no longer available, the TTS is here for those interested in learning the system.
Additionally, articles, scenario replays and SL Mailing List discussions are available on the Library page in the Advancephase folder. They had articles on a variety of topics, some noteworthy ones included…
AFV Combat and Movement - SL Mailing List
Hill 621: Tanks Versus Tanks, Bill Thomson
A Game With A View - Beta 0 - Alan Yngve
Defensive Tactics - David Garvin
It is a sad day to see Advancephase.com shut down, i meet a lot of good players there and really enjoyed their tournaments. The site was a lighthouse to Squad Leader players for over twenty years and a tribute to nineties <frame> web design. They had a ton of content including scenarios, articles, the ladder and they welcomed new and returning players into the game. While the TTS page is available here, it will never capture the influence the site had on the Squad Leader community over more twenty years.
