About the game
Lock 'n Load Tactical: Solo is the next evolution in our LnLT series. LnLTS is a solitaire system that provides players with a way to play scenarios and generate battles on their own. We wanted to take that a step farther and provide to have one solitaire system that would work for the entire Lock 'n Load Tactical series past, present, and future games. Gamers will be able to use LnLTS to play any complete Lock ‘n Load Tactical game including any expansions, in either World War 2 or Modern eras. We also wanted players to be able to play the scenarios that come with the games, so LnLTS makes this possible. There will be a few scenarios that won't play as smoothly as most of the scenarios due to events or special rules. LnLTS will work with any scenario generated by our LnLT Battle Generators. Included with LnLTS is a system is a random events generator that is optional to add a little something special to your games and could be used even in two-player games. Lock 'n Load Tactical: Solo was developed by Sean Druelinger and David Heath and is based and licensed from Academy Games's Solo game design. We like to thank Uwe Eickert for allowing us to create this edition for the Lock 'n Load Tactical series. UPDATE: All of our manuals and guides can be Downloaded, Viewed, and even printed right from our LnLP Online Library: We now have an Online Library of all, well almost all of our manuals. We add some every few weeks. You can find all the LnLT manuals at the link below. LnLP Online Library: http://library.lnlpublishing.com/
