Lock ‘n Load Black Friday Sale

Lock ‘n Load Publishing is having their own sale this weekend with some games at 40% off! Included in the mix is Space Infantry, which I personally thought was excellent! The others are great too, here is the info from Lock ‘n Load:

We are having a Black Friday sale, from today through Sunday. This is your chance to get 40% off three of our best selling products: Lock ‘n Load: Heroes of the Gap, World at War: The Untold Stories, and Space Infantry.

Heroes of the Gap, is a complete Lock ‘n Load module (you need nothing else to play), which brings the Lock ‘n Load system to the environs of Eisenbach, Germany on the first day of World War III. No, this is NOT a World at War series game, but it does take place in the universe created by World at War. This is pure, impulse-driven, tanks vs. tank, squad vs. squad, leader vs. leader, RPD vs. M60, Lock ‘n Load system gaming.

You’ll command a bucket of 1985-era weaponry on a Marc von Martial-drawn, mounted 22” x 34” historical map of Eisenbach and its immediate surroundings, including Bergengipfel and Klappebruck. Defend West Germany with Abrams tanks, ITOW anti-tank vehicles, Cobra attack helicopters, squads of American soldiers, leaders, snipers, heroes, M60 machine guns, Dragon guided missiles, A-10 attack aircraft, and much more. All rendered with the precision we have all come to expect from Lock ‘n Load Publishing.

Or, if you chose attack the capitalists with T-80, T-72, T-64, and T-55 tanks (okay, you won’t get far with the T-55s, but we had to include them), Hind helicopters, Soviet infantry, paratroopers, BMPs, and all their accoutrements of war… RPGs, RPKs, RPDs, you are free to do so.

Included are rules for anti—tank guided missiles (ATGM), which are easily depleted, advanced armor, advanced sites (thermal and night), fixed wing air support, and much more. Yet despite the new rules we believe we have held true to our company’s mantra of “more game, less guff.”

World at War: The Untold Stories recounts the struggle of Warsaw Pact and NATO allies previously not covered in World at War modules. Included are the battles of the Canadians, East Germans, Poles, Dutch and Belgians as each fought desperately to survive in the opening days of the war that ended all wars.

Command new forces and equipment, such as the Belgian and Canadian Leopard I tanks, Lynx armored personnel carriers, East German BTR-152s, Polish T-72s, and Dutch Centurions.

Battle over a plethora of new terrain. The Untold Stories contains three 11” x 17” geomorphic, mounted maps that not only give variety to the game’s scenarios, but can be used by gamers everywhere to create their own World at War stories.

Twelve, spanking new scenarios. Canadians versus Poles, East Germans versus Danes, Belgians versus Russians. It’s a veritable smorgasbord of war. Fight with the Canadian 31 Brigade Group as they valiantly battle Soviet T-80s with their Leopard I tanks, or command East German T-72s as they fight their West German bretheren.

It’s a complete, boxed game. Rules, players aids, box, everything you need to play.

Space Infantry is an exciting new solitaire game of squad-level combat in the future. In Space Infantry you will be asked to lead an elite team of soldiers and undertake a series of missions that can be played individually or as a campaign.

An innovative system makes possible a quick resolution of the different tasks (exploration, combat) while keeping the game tense and not predictable. Six different enemies, seven missions and a modular system to dynamically generate new encounters assure many hours of enjoyment.

The module structure of the game will make possible to add new features easily to Space Infantry (missions, units, enemies, equipment): those additional components will add new options to the existing missions, increasing the lifetime of the game.

  1. If you’re on the fence about Space Infantry, I recommend giving it a try. I’ve had a lot of fun with this solo sci-fi game. Components are excellent, rules well done, so if you like solo sci-fi action, check it out.
