Lock 'n Load Tactical: Valor of the 13th

The map layout and unit counters are clear and easy to read, making the complex Ponyri scenario manageable. I've played it three times already, and the German assault feels tense every time.

The solo-friendly ruleset flows so smoothly that I finished my first scenario in under an hour, and the historical depth on the Ponyri village map makes every decision feel tense. The chit-pull system kept me on edge as the Germans kept pressing.

The Valor of the 13th module finally gives the northern shoulder of Kursk the attention it deserves, and the Ponyri hill maps are tense every single turn. I've played through the campaign twice and the German player really does spend a week grinding on one village, just like the history.
