Hey Mark thanks for the new screenshots! I sure love the way the AFV counters look. Do you also have a counter for a unit that has gone Berserk because he has taken to many shots and their is no leader to rally him?

Thanks

There is no beserk rule per se in LnL. The system, however, has handled that in a multitude of ways in past scenarios.
 
Straight port...
 
Wodin you will see things in this game that you have NEVER seen in a turn-based war game before. I mean NEVER, EVER.
 
I know where the balance is. [:)]
 
Marc, yeah I'm also a fan of big cats. I don't really mind the small cats, it's just that I don't want to own any. They are untrainable and make the house smelly.
 
Best,
 
Mark

Mark, Thank you for watching this forum and responding so quickly to all the interest in the PC Game! This game sure looks like a must have for anyone that has played a WWII boardgame or has been playing WWII Turn based PC Games. Keep the screen shots coming if you can so we can dream of playing this game someday soon....

regrds,

Is there any hope of Forgotten Heroes being reprinted? It seems really hard to come by now.

Sure is. I own the rights to the game/art/etc, and I must admit that the FH scenarios are some of my favorites... not that they are any better than BoH, because they aren't, it's just that my personal preference is for modern-type battles. I've discussed this with Matrix and they are very receptive to the idea. It won't, however, be the next LnL module you see.
More computer game screenies this week.
 
Best,

It may not be Squad Leader, but, it sure looks like Squad Leader to me. ;) I can't wait to get my hands on this computer version. WoW I actually will be buying two RETAIL games this year. ;) Panzer Command by Koios is the other one. ;) Hrmmm, maybe 3 forgot about Sid Meiers "Railroads" is suppose to come out this year too. Two are a long ways away though. Panzer Command is just around the corner I am told.
WE/I WANT 1:1 or something even 1:2 death animations in the KOIOS PANZER COMMAND SERIES don't forget Erik! ;) and Floating Paratroopers We grew up with Minor, Marginal and Decisive victories why rock the boat with Marginal, Decisive and Legendary?

Nope, nothing like it. ASL players often have a hard time adapting to LnL's realism.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Panzer Command too. I'm a huge fan of Tin Soldiers, and the folks at Koios. They are one of my favorite developers.[&o]

Meier's Railroads will no doubt be good, I'm just not into the whole railroad thing. Although I did like the scene in Risky Business. [;)]

Best,

Mark

Looks like Mark must be busy at work on this game because I have not seen him post on this board for a while. I guess that's a good sign that the game is moving along at a good pace? Lets pray for a Summer Release!!

The look is all LnL, but with a twist. For example, we've done away with turret counters for CLnL, there are actually rotating turrets on the tanks. Also we have seriously reduced the number of admin counters. For example, there are no Fire or Mover counters. After a unit fires it is marked with a Fire icon (looks like a miniature Fire marker right now).

Here's a shot from the early beta. A word... yep those are BoH Germans. This game will have new ones, but we are in beta. And yes, this is a game in progress, on my desktop, not a doctored screenie.

Wow this looks really awesome Mark. Keep up the good work! I want to buy your boardgame badly but just cant justify since I have no one around here to play against. It would just collect dust and make me angry [:@]

But the PC version would be great!

I'm having a pretty good time playing the LnL board game solitaire...Lots of scenarios include 'event markers' which make unforeseen events happen, so it can be pretty exciting even by yourself.

First off, Wookieman... my apologies. I owe you an email. Things --as always-- are crazy here. I really like your music.

Second off, LnL the board game is EXTREMELY solitaire friendly. I guess I've played 90 times. and 60 of those have been solitaire. Even if you aren't a solitaire type, the game's VASSAL capability allows you to play online, with the game's complete graphical glory, against anyone in the world. Buy a copy, PVthudson, you'll not only enjoy it, but also assist in funding development of CLnL. Chicago, eh? How about that airliner's nose gear?

Third off... yeah, I have been very busy. I have several projects in the works. You guys will see just how busy by the end of July. You might want to keep an eye on www.locknloadgame.com

Best,

I haven't checked in to the Lock 'n Load news for a while and now I see there's going to be a PC version! Hurrah! I'm in for this one. Can't wait to see what other ideas Mark has hiding up his sleeve. An LnL expansion for CATs and Futuristic Fighting Forces perhaps? ;)

You'll get to read all about CATs in about five weeks. My novel, A CRaving for Blood, is at the publishers.

Still good to have the board game version around. For one thing, it looks good in your collection. For another, you'll never have to worry about it being compatible with the latest version of Windows. And of course there's that wonderful feeling of actually being able to move the pieces yourself...
