Lock ‘n Load Tactical (hereafter LnLT) is not a complicated game to play. This quick guide is to get you playing quickly. This is a light overview of the LnLT Core Rules but you will still need to read the LnLT Starter Kit, LnLT Core Rules, or LnLT Core Rules Handbook to get the full features of the LnLT system. This guide will help you start playing the basic infantry-only scenarios from the Starter Kit right away.

Learning any game system can be daunting- ing, but don’t be dissuaded; Our LnLT Core Rules use a large font-size, to accommodate the eyes, and have lots of examples—including in-depth examples—to illustrate the mechanics. Further, the best way to learn is to have another person show you how to play, but that’s not always an option. We encourage new players to read the two gameplay narratives (for infantry and vehicles/ordnance) found at the back of our LnLT Core Rules booklet before reading the rules, to familiarize yourself with how a scenario plays in an intuitive and observational manner.

Most importantly: Have fun!
