Avalon Hill
In the beginning of 1998 Avalon Hill was in turmoil and unstable to work for, and Moylan decided to go his own way, as Big Time Software, shortly before Avalon Hill was purchased by Hasbro. The move from Avalon Hill also meant severing ties to "ASL"; the unfinished project had no references to "Advanced Squad Leader" or Avalon Hill. Moylan briefly offered the Alpha build (tentatively called "Squad Leader") to publishers before teaming up with Steve Grammont, forming what eventually became Battlefront.com and re-christening the new game "Combat Mission".
