So where are all these WH40K tactical wargames? It's popular because it is pretty damn good. It also has loads of canon to go on and plenty of different types of units.

ORIGINAL: aaatoysandmore

Oh Please God no Warhammer. I'm so sic of Warhammer this and Warhammer that. Now maybe some Avalon Hill type Starship Troopers? [:D]

But, in all seriousness a good "editor" and some sort of random map generator and then player created scenarios would do the trick as long as it had pacific land based units in the editor. All other factions would be welcome as well and that way everyone could have everything as long as they don't mind building most of it themselves.

Any info??? with the last releases in WWI games... why not implement a WWI game??? something covering early fights, trench warfare, middle east... something like Tiller WWI squad battle title but in a smaller scale, less masive.

Great notices!!!

A little question, if i dont understand it bad if you buy a LnL game you can use over it any new LnL module you buy??? i refer when you buy a LnL you buy a full game (dont need have a core game, you dont buy a add-on or army pack like in old FOG system) BUT if you buy more LnL games you dont need have 1 installation for game and you can use all inside the module mixed with others no???

Sorry i dont remember ask this... is planed a beta test??? i finish one and have one slot for a beta [:D]

Ooo and a little question... you are going to provide better support for mods??? i feel like in HoS the superb extra work made by modders is a little... missing, a little complex use stock with extra work.

PD: if is possible use HoS and HoP together i think could be fun cover 1939 war in Manchuria and in 1945 and maybe some what if using soviets to join to the "island dance".

Good news at last. Sounds like we are going to get an improved editor, very good news indeed. Was there any mention of an approximate time for release?

Very good news except "Heroes of Stalingrad" will not be compatible with the new game.

I've read on this link an answer made by a LnL administrator:
(Unfortunately, Heroes of Stalingrad can't be retrofitted: the new game has been built as an expandable system, with a core module around which all Lock 'n Load games can be added in a modular fashion.
As far as Stalingrad itself is concerned, we have a Russian Front module coming so you can be back in the Motherland very soon).

Yes true ,but no one can prevent to use or adapt the same counters to the new game.What intrigues me is to understand if the new game have new rules and also the possibility to use the overlay.

Very bad news... i understand oposite in the info about HoP but if is like you say... not only you need do a 2nd game instalation, you cant use things from HoS over HoP and viceversa... for me this kills a lot of value in the serie, something like FOG system is for me a must have in LnL.

Now remove game from "buy" to "wait and see" in my list.

EDIT: maybe as suggestion work in a "stock game" where you can install all LnL modules could be a good idea... like in FOG, with HoS or HoP serials you can activate this modules in the base game and after HoP release modules for the base game... i am a lot against multiple instalations and miss content from a game in other.

I would be ok with it if they give the HoS owners a break on price for the Russian content.

I agree with you but I don't think we will get a discount because if I've understood the announcement, it will not be a Matrix game.

Ummm then HoP is going to be the base game where you can install modules no??? and HoS is in the "limbo" until they decide what do with guys that buy HoS in Matrix no???

I wait buy HoS in next special but now i prefer wait and see.

PD: i continue saying that best thing is release a base game avaliable for every LnL buyer and with serials activate the modules, with this HoS owners can avoid pay 2 times for same module and is much easier control the modules you have or not... new owners have it easy to because when they buy a module they download the base game, activate serial and after do this only need "buy" serials to activate modules in base game (something easier to for developers when want update game... they only need work over base game and release one single patch for base game and not one for every module).

I wonder if any of the Mod'd stuff from HoS will be able to transfer over. If we have units, then we can play and make due until official release comes along. I guess we can wait for the Mod guys to do their thing.
