New printing of Forgotten Heroes Second Edition from LnLP. Standard bookshelf size but only 1.5″ deep. Still plenty of room for contents.
All this gaming greatness. Latest rules, maps, player aid, counters, scenario cards, skill cards and dice.
Latest version 3.1 of the Lock ‘n Load series rules and the module specific rules in nice glossy 8.5″ x 11″ booklets.
Lots of illustrations in the rule book.
Bi-fold player aid has all the combat tables on one side and large terrain effect chart on the other.
13 full colour card stock scenario cards that set out the situations, forces and maps involved in each fight.
340 colourful counters in 2 sheets. Counters are nice and large at 5/8″, 3/4″ and 7/8″.
Stay behind the wire boys, those VC only look harmless….
16 skills cards that can give your heroes and troops a bonus in the fight against Communism.
This picture does not do justice the standard lushly illustrated maps that are the trade mark of the Lock ‘n Load Series. These 5 have a nice matt finish that does not glare even in direct overhead lighting.
This is an excellent game, and game system. Games cover World War II, Cold War, and Vietnam, and, in the future — The Falklands. Really fun to play and great maps, and counters.
