I have a Pre-Order, but I would prefer just to drop that and participate in the KickStarter. Less confusing for me about what to expect if the two may have divergent contents at the end of the campaign. When the KS launches, I'll back it and then circle back to LNL to cancel the pre-order...

Ur killing me... I've been patiently trying to discipline myself to take a pause for my bank account's sake. Then we have positive reviews and unboxing videos... ugh. #Why.do.I.even.try Looks like I'm over to LnL Store to place {another} order... Charlie

Pretty easy to modify one of the LnL VASSAL Modules to become all inclusive. I've added ASL maps to an LnL VASSAL Module to replay some classic ASL scenarios in LnL

Years ago, I played in a number of "Blind Sniper" Refereed games using the SPI Sniper! rules system. I am experimenting with VASSAL's double blind capabilities to duplicate that game format using Lock n Load. I'm looking for two people to test drive a simple "Blind Sniper Lock n Load" scenario...

I have many of the ASL boards scanned and printed at a scale to allow use with the Lock n Load components. I've also added ASL mapboards to the Lock n Load VASSAL Modules. I'll have to check out the Tide of Iron boards. - Charlie

I've never found opponents by lurking on VASSAL. Post in these forums and on Boardgamegeek looking for opponents to schedule a game. Time zones and matching schedules is always my biggest challenge. - C

Bravo! I've been (slowly) working towards a board / mini crossover using Lock N Load Tactical for some Vietnam miniaturised action but I'm years away from your production quality... if ever! It looks like you have incorporated a version of the game counters into the miniature bases, correct...

I meant that Squad Leader created this mapping convention for tactical games with the infrastructure scale on the map zoomed compared to ground scale. I did not mean that SL was the first tactical game. I'm not 100% confident that SL was the first for this type of mapping, I just can't think...

I guess you would lose the ability to Op Fire on squads in the open as they were crossing streets? ;) It is a trade off games at this scale must make. It works just fine, but can create issues if you start to extrapolate from the maps. For instance let's say you wanted to include a modern...

The graphical images used on tactical war gaming maps are not true to the stated ground scale. They are generally enlarged relative to the scale to make the maps look better. For instance, a 2 lane road with curb side parking is typically 9 to 10m from curb to curb. Now look at the road...

Buildings, roads and other infrastructure are depicted in Lock n Load (and virtually all tactical games) at an inaccurate scale relative to the true ground scale. Skyscrapers have an aspect ratio in the range of 4-5. So the building in a 50m hex with a 50m x 50m square footprint would have a...

Once upon a time there were a few seeds planted about a science fiction module for LnLT. Was that a casualty of regime change, or is that still a possibility?

Glad to hear it. I have more money to send you... ;) Actually I am waiting until I return from an extended trip. Debating whether I order from the road and race it home!

I'm getting an error message when I try to reach the store website.

Right, it starts with, 'Any GO unit...', GO stands for 'Good Order'. Per 1.5 there are two morale states: 'Good Order' and 'Shaken', therefore a Shaken unit is not Good Order and would be ineligible under the new rule. That's the way I read it, anyway.

To clarify my book keeping comment... The example complaint I hear on spotting is this: German squad fired in turn 1 from that hex. During the end of turn the Fired marker is removed from that squad. At the start of turn 2, the US player complains, 'why can't my airborne fire at those...

"I,too, disliked the shaked/baked rule..I see where the new beta rules allow the shaken unit OF..If I'm reading the rules right,by rolling a 6" I believe you must be GO to qualify for ROF? Regarding the 'shaked/baked rule' in general: Let's not forget: Para's {or fill in your elite troop...

I would only consider that alternate IF the German squad in your example had been previously spotted (in a prior turn through fire or movement) AND that restriction seems like it would be too much book keeping for LnL Tactical. I have considered some alternate variants based loosely on Assault...

Oh well. Thanks for the info. ;)

Thanks Gents, just wanted to verify the point.
