There’s a nicely comprehensive Table of Contents printed inside the front cover of the bound manual, and a glossary printed on the inside of the back cover. The version 4.0 manual goes a long way to addressing that, having significantly cleaned things up. The clarity and organization of the rules for this game system have sometimes been a bit lacking. Significant rules changes are helpfully highlighted in green throughout the manual to bring experienced players up to speed quickly. The rule book has been updated to version 4.0 and includes the additions to support the unique aspects of the Pacific Theater of Operations (PTO) in-line with the remainder of the rules. The game uses the familiar Lock n’ Load Tactical Series rules. Like other games in the series the core of the game is infantry combat between squads and weapon teams, supported by armored vehicles, various kinds of on- and off-board artillery, and air strikes. Heroes of the Pacific focuses on tactical combat between the US Army and Marines and the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA).
So I was definitely excited to see that LnL Publishing was not only bringing many of their out-of-print Tactical Series games back, but also adding to the series with a dedicated Pacific Theater game. Even the benchmark WWII tactical system, Advanced Squad Leader, isn’t overwhelmed with PTO modules and scenarios. Lock’n’Load heads to the PTO! Doug Miller, 24 October 2105ĭespite a proliferation of WWII tactical systems in recent years, tactical wargames covering the Pacific Theater tend to be rarer than hen’s teeth.
