Here are all the components laid out. SIX Maps, Counters, Player Aid Cards, Character Cards, Event Cards, and player manual.
The maps fit together in a variety of way and give you a large area to explore. Use as few or as many of them as you like.
The maps all interlock and work with minis as well as counters. Here's a look at the counters and 25mm figures on the map.Large counters with rounded corners. Easy to punch out and high quality. 88 total counters including 11 characters, zeds, weapons, items, and Non-Player humans.
Player aid cards that are colorful and informative.
Event Cards and Character Cards speed up the game and eliminate the need to refer to the manual.
Using the player cards and counters eliminates the need for book keeping during play.
For me, the best thing was that I had total creative control on the game and it reflects the THW style. Add that with the high quality components insisted on by the new Lock n Load ownership and we have a great product. All the tension and game play of the minis game and the ease of play afforded by using board game components.

This looks really great Ed! Just amazing stuff...
ReplyDeleteDo you have to use a map? Could I use a wargaming board?
Definitely. I play with minis on a table and use the components from the board game to facilitate play
DeleteI.Like.It.
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome! I still like the first edition of the boardgame (play FFO, too), but I may have to pick up the new edition.
ReplyDeleteKen,
DeleteI guarantee this one is better. If you buy it and don't like it, tell me and I'll buy it from you, heck I'll even pay postage. :)
Thanks, Ed. However, I have a strong feeling that I will not be taking you up on your offer. :-)
DeleteI think I have to agree.
DeleteHi Ed, two questions...
ReplyDeleteDo LNL distribute directly into the EU and other parts of the world or will it be shipping from the US?
For the THW fans who have FFO and the various supplements (911 etc), I'm interested what you think we will gain from the LNL version - it's a marketing opportunity ;-)
Many thanks, and congratulations on getting this launched!
There are plans to do exactly that. Currently will be from the US.
DeleteI tried to buy it from the states, but it cost as much to send it to the UK :-(
ReplyDeletecant wait for UK distrib guys.the game with the minis looks pretty cool. I am so hyped by those pictures.
Yes, there is a UK distributor for sure. Don't know they're name, but saw the link in a message.
