Commentary:

Breakout was a more or less quarterly gaming magazine published in Australia from 1981 to 1991.  Because it covered every aspect of the gaming field, from miniatures to board wargames to play-by-mail games (a dead genre) to computer games to role-playing games, its coverage of any single area was necessarily thin.  Over time, it tended to gravitate more towards role-playing games. However, it was really the only gaming publication of its type in Australia at the time.  It folded after about 45 issues and 2 special issues.

During its run, it printed ASL scenarios three different times.

• Breakout! #32 (1988)
  • Prokhorovka Melee.  Soviet Union 1943 (Soviets vs. Germans)
  • Make or Break. Soviet Union 1943 (Soviets vs. Germans)
• Breakout! #33 (1989)
  • Rearguard Action.  Italy 1944 (Americans vs. Germans)
• Breakout! #42 (1991)
  • Usau Ridge. Netherlands East Indies 1942 (Australians vs. Japanese)
