Lock n' Load Tactical: Solo

[Pinetree]

David Heath over at LnL:

Lock 'n Load Tactical: Solo is the next evolution in our Lock 'n Load Tactical series. LnLTS is a solitaire system that provides players with a way to play scenarios and generated battles on their own. But we wanted to beyond that and provide one solitaire system that would work for the entire Lock 'n Load Tactical series past, present and future games.

LnLTS will allow you to play any complete Lock 'n Load Tactical game including any expansions, in either World War 2 or Modern eras. We designed the system so players would be able to play the scenarios that come with the games. We do knowledge that there may be a few scenarios that won't play as smoothly as others because of special events or special rules.

LnLTS will work with any scenario generated by our LnLT Battle Generators and we also introduce a new Random Events system that we hope to expand on. These random events could be used in two player games.

LnLTS was developed by Bob Bicket, Sean Druelinger, and David Heath and is based and licensed from Academy Games' Solo game design. We like to thank Uwe Eickert for allowing us to use their design create LnLTS for our LnLT fans. Expect to this in your Christmas stockings. We will have more details shortly.

Going to be $65-$75 normally but $50-$60 preorder. As you only need one module for all the the LnLT games this is going to be an insta-buy for me.

Does look VERY interesting!  O0

[Staggerwing]

Yes. Yes it does. Any idea of a release date?

I know that the CoH fans have really enjoyed the solitaire system that Uwe Eickert came up with that apparently he is letting LnL use (which is awfully gracious).

Can't wait to pre-order this!

All of the "Heroes of xxxxx" games are unavailable though.... Do they reprint often?  Can't see pre-ordering this without being able to get the base games.

There are Vassal modules, but I hear you. I wanted Heroes of the Pacific but it was out of stock.

There's a big shipment of stuff on the boat now.  David said it should be here in a month or so

Thanks!  Good to know... I'll check out their site and see what's coming.   I want to get a battle generator set or 2 for some of the games also.

I got the battle generator for Nam and, other than a howler of a spelling mistake (ARVN is AVRN throughout the book), it's pretty good. Printed in-house too, so always in stock. I want to get the x-maps from HoTP to add to the map mix for it and maybe down the line actually get HotP as well.  I've got North Africa on pre-order so with that and the Solo module plus the the re-release of WaW'85 next year, LnL is going to get a lot of money soon.

Hi Guys,

We fixed that problem with the HOTN Battle Generator.  We also received some feedback on our cards and made some changes.  Here is what they look like now.
