This is worth every piece of paper (cardstock or regular), ink cartridge, and binder that you can muster--not to mention the time and effort. Really nice game.
2. Lock 'N Load: Forgotten Heroes Vietnam [Average Rating:7.48 Overall Rank:675]
Lock 'N Load: Forgotten Heroes Vietnam is a fast moving, fun to play, tactical level game of small unit actions in the Vietnam War. While players will find it to be an accurate depiction of squad level combat you won't have to wade through a hundred pages of rules to play. In fact, you'll be up and playing after reading less than a dozen pages of rules!"

Due to repeated requests, a downloadable version of the original—and almost four years out of print—Lock ‘n Load module is currently available. Whether you’re a fan of the original or a gamer that missed out the first time around, Forgotten Heroes: Revision 2 (FHR2) provides a unique window to the squad-level confrontations of the Vietnam War.
