About the game
Lock ’n Load Tactical (LnLT) Compendium Volume 3. This is not so much something brand new as running into an old friend you have not seen in a while and remember all the great times you had. LnLT has come a long way from its initial release and the Battle Packs. LnLT Compendium Vol. 3 is the joining of two previously released products titled Battle Pack Alpha, Battle Pack Bravo with a few new scenarios. We have cleaned up the scenarios, redesigned and updated the maps and put everything into our new LnLT series style. —description from the publisher
