About the game

What is Lock 'n Load Tactical: Heroes of the Nam?

It’s time for another tour of duty. The award-winning Lock ’n Load Tactical Series. Heroes of the Nam. This squad-level game, with its fast-paced, intense impulse system, drops you right into the middle of furious jungle firefights and all-out, building-to-building assaults. In Heroes of the Nam, forces from the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN), the United States Army and Marines, as well as their valiant Anzac allies from Australia and New Zealand, take on determined enemies from the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) and the unpredictable Viet Cong (VC). Powerfully armed Squads are at the vanguard of all actions, spurred on by daring Leaders and other unique individuals such as Snipers, Medics, Corpsmen, Chaplains, Advisors and, of course, Heroes, whose unique skills and sudden appearance can alter the tide of any battle. Helicopters, tanks and armored-personnel carriers (APCs) also join the fight. Test your mettle in over 25 action-packed scenarios. Only the heroic will be victorious. - - - - - - Heroes of Nam is essentially a component and rules update of Forgotten Heroes and ANZAC Attack (both previously published by Shrapnel Games and later Lock n Load Games).
