With ASL Classic, Avalon Hill decided to reprint some of the better ASL articles and scenarios that had appeared in out-of-print issues of The General.   The articles also included the most influential/controversial ASL-related article to appear any other ASL-related publication, the dreaded “One-Half FP:  The Incremental IFT Variant,” which introduced the IIFT to ASL. This originally appeared in ASL Annual ’89, not The General.
