Lock 'n Load Tactical: Core Rules v5.1

Updated core rules for squad-level, scenario-based wargaming from the 1930s to the present, covering infantry, vehicles, ordnance, aircraft, and modern helicopters and jets. The system uses a quick impulse structure and accounts for leadership, special unit abilities, battlefield conditions, and random events such as ambushes and panic. Version 5.1 refines the existing rules with reorganized sections, expanded diagrams, numbered examples, cross-references, an updated index and glossary, and additional gameplay narratives and reference material. The rules support previously published modules, including the solo system, but do not include printed maps, counters, or player aid cards.
