Step into the gritty, close-quarters chaos of World War II/21st Century with Mission Lock: Small Unit Action in WWII and the 21st Century. This ruleset puts you in command of a single fighting section, where every man and every decision counts. Forget grand strategies; this is a game of immediate, life-or-death tactics.
Using a fast-paced, intuitive system, you'll manage the high stakes of small-unit combat. Will your team brave open ground in a desperate dash forward, or will they "ground hug" and take cover under a hail of enemy fire? Our innovative Suppression mechanic means that incoming fire doesn't just inflict casualties—it tests the very will of your men. As your soldiers are pinned down and pushed to their limit, their ability to act becomes increasingly strained, forcing you to make crucial decisions under pressure.
From the first shot fired to the final charge, Mission Lock: Small Unit Action in WWII and the 21st Century is a tabletop wargame that captures the brutal reality and heroic moments of frontline combat. Take the fight to your enemy, and see if your troops have what it takes to seize victory from the jaws of defeat.
The game is built around two core concepts that simulate the chaos of combat:
- Activation
- A team's ability to act is determined by its Activation Level, which is influenced by its training and experience. Elite troops are more likely to follow your commands under fire than raw recruits.
- Suppression
- This mechanic simulates the psychological impact of being shot at. As a team takes hits, it becomes suppressed, making it harder for them to activate and function effectively. Managing suppression is just as important as managing casualties.
These mechanics, combined with the role of the NCO's leadership, create a game that emphasizes strategy, tactical planning, and the importance of unit morale. Every decision you make and every die you roll tells a story of the unpredictable nature of combat.
