Lock 'n Load: Forgotten Heroes – Vietnam
A squad-level tactical wargame that simulates combat in Vietnam using counters for squads, leaders, medics, chaplains, machine guns, tanks and other battlefield elements. Gameplay uses turns that represent 30 seconds to three minutes and an interactive impulse system that alternates actions to keep both players engaged. Players maneuver units on detailed maps, fire, suppress, and resolve close combat while managing skill cards and unit abilities. The boxed set includes multiple maps of Vietnamese terrain, numerous colored counters, skill cards, reference aids and dice, and supports scenario-driven play with updated art, charts and rules.
