Heroes Against the Red Star 5.1 (with Solo Kit)

Heroes Against the Red Star is a complete Lock ‘n Load core game which brings the Lock ‘n Load Tactical system from West Germany to Paris, on the first days of World War III.

You’ll command a bucket of 1985-era weaponry including Soviet T-80, T-72, T-64, and T-55 tanks Hind helicopters, Soviet infantry, paratroopers, BMPs, and all their accouterments of war - RPGs, RPKs, RPDs, you are free to do so. Your also forces representing French conscripts, the Foreign Legion, Paratroopers, and lots of tanks. You’ll match AMX30 B-2 tanks against the best Russian armor, direct Jaguar airstrikes, and recon enemy positions with ERC-90 and AMX 10RC armored cars.

You get to play with anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM), which are easily depleted, advanced armor, advanced sights (thermal and night), fixed wing air support, and much more.

Fight scenarios from the first probes by Soviet infantry to the ultimate, desperate clash for the Eisenbach Bridge. This is modern street fighting., in the buildings, on the deck of the tanks.

What is a Companion Book?
The Companion Books are the same as the Module Rules and Scenario booklets that are available in our games, with the exception we included most of the charts and tables that come within that game. So why release the Companion book? The Companion Books were designed for those gamers who are playing virtually and did not want to purchase the entire game just for the scenarios and tables to play via Vassal or Tabletop Simulator. So to be clear the Companion Books are NOT complete games but contain everything a player will need to play via Vassal or Tabletop Simulator. Players who prefer to play virtually can do so without the need to own the board (boxed) edition of the game. The Companion Books can be used by players playing digitally via our Digital DLC editions via Steam for their Macs or Windows computers.

So if you own or purchase the board games you don't need to purchase the Companion Books. Some board game owners prefer them since they are spiral bound and will lay flat on the table and any typos or known errors found since the printing of the original edition of the board game has been updated. The Companion books can be used with any game printing or game rule edition.

If you are looking for opponents on either Vassal or Tabletop Simulator can use our Discord server at https://discord.com/invite/DQBhqFx.

Please Note: This is not a complete product and requires the use of the free modules via Vassal or Tabletop Simulator or the Digital DLC modules available via Steam. The Companion books can also be used with the Tabletop Boardgame as well.

Other Notes:
The maps in this mod and the counters are scaled in size for the single scenario alone. Players who wish to play multi-map scenarios after purchasing the scenarios from the links below may need to scale down the maps and counters to fit the table.

The older 5.0 rules and PACs have been saved in a separate folder inside the Admin Counters Crate on the table.

This mod incorporates Mangofeet's (here on TTS) stack exploder mod which allows stacks to be examined with a right click and choosing the explode option. We plan to incorporate this functionality across all LnLP mods if no issues develop.
