Overview

Heroes Against the Red Star is a complete Lock ‘n Load core game that brings the Lock ‘n Load Tactical system to West Germany to Paris, on the first days of World War III.

You’ll command a bucket of 1985-era weaponry including Soviet T-80, T-72, T-64, and T-55 tanks Hind helicopters, Soviet infantry, paratroopers, BMPs, and all their accouterments of war - RPGs, RPKs, RPDs, you are free to do so. Your forces also represent French conscripts, the Foreign Legion, Paratroopers, and lots of tanks. You’ll match AMX30 B-2 tanks against the best Russian armor, direct Jaguar airstrikes, and recon enemy positions with ERC-90 and AMX 10RC armored cars

You get to play with anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM), which are easily depleted, advanced armor, advanced sights (thermal and night), fixed-wing air support, and much more.

Fight scenarios from the first probes by Soviet infantry to the ultimate, desperate clash for the Eisenbach Bridge. This is modern street fighting., in the buildings, on the deck of the tanks.
