Mark H. Walker's Lock 'n Load: Band of Heroes is
the second complete module in the Lock 'n Load game
system and it covers the battles of America's airborne troops
during June of 1944. New game features include Enhanced
armor rules, simplified artillery rules, streamlines spotting routine, and straightforward
Assault Movement rules. It's an easy system to learn
and even better, gamers who are familiar with the Lock
'n Load system can jump right in. As with the
original game, each hex is 50 meters and turns are
a few moments; counters represent squads, leaders, heroes, medics and
even the occasional chaplain or scout. The module includes,

LnL's strong suit... story telling. We have the Medal of
Honor battle (XYZ Complex)... where two paratroopers (later supported by
a platoon) took down an entire German artillery battalion. The
