Lock 'n Load Tactical: Battles to the Rhine
Lock 'n Load Tactical: Battles to the Rhine
Into Germany and the End of the War
After the breakout from Normandy the German army was going backwards and knew it. That did not stop Wittmann making the British pay for every bocage line at Villers-Bocage, and it did not make Carentan, the Falaise Gap, Market Garden, the Maginot Line or the winter outside Bastogne any cheaper.
You take the Allied side on the long push east, or hold the ground against them.
Smoke and White Phosphorus
New rules and counters let vehicles fire smoke and white phosphorus shells. You can screen an advance across open ground, or burn a defender out of a position instead of trading fire with him across it, and the same tools work when you are the one being pushed.
Winter Maps
Three of the five maps are snow maps, for the cold and bitter fighting outside Bastogne in December 1944. They are built from the Heroes of Normandy maps, so the ground is familiar and nothing about it behaves the same.
New Infantry
A new half counter sheet brings in the American and British infantry formations that fought these actions.
Battles to the Rhine is an expansion module in the award winning Lock 'n Load Tactical series. It is not a complete game, and Heroes of Normandy is required to play it.
