Google not working anymore in the UK ? [;)]

Give them a call - if they don't have Lock 'n Load in stock they can usually order it and give you a price quote.

I was thinking about getting Eisenbach Gap....it suggest two player...does anyone know if it plays ok as 1 player (someone who obviously won't exploit one side or the other)? I can't see why one player wouldn't work?? I mean, the counters aren't hidden, so there is no "fog of war" that I couldn't preserve as a single player?
 
Any other Lock n Load Games which play out as single player ok even though they may say 2 player?

Hey JD,

Eisenbach should play well solo as it's a chit draw system.

The Band of Heroes series plays well solo as well because of the spotting rules. I have nearly all of the WWII games & expansions. Great fun.

There's a print and play demo of BoH on LnL's site.

All the LnL games are high production quality.... well worth the money.

Have fun.

Done a lot of business with Gameslore and never had a problem. They will even discuss games on the phone. Have you tried Conflict of Heroes.. a nice looking game which has had good reviews.

I was thinking about getting Eisenbach Gap....it suggest two player...does anyone know if it plays ok as 1 player...

I've played a few sessions solo and it works fine. The map is mounted and small. Very manageable in terms of maneuver. The counter quality is my biggest issue with LnL. The latest boxes have much thicker counters but I found them harder to separate from the sprue as a result. The Soviet "red" needed some paint touch ups.

Mark Walker has r-written the rules somewhat for the future "Blood and Bridges" game that should be out very soon - the beta rules should still be downloadable. So heads up.

Also check out "Totensonntag" - same sized mounted map in such a small box - beware that Mark let a unit typo remain in his recent second printing which I've told him about and just slipped his mind.

It'll be much later in the year now cash flow-wise (I've just bought quite a few books) but I will be adding to my LnL collection with Blood and Bridges, LnL Noville, Dawns Early Light and Rising Star etc.

The thing with the EB gap series is be ready for some deadly action. Range and LOS are big factors in 1980's Europe!
