Heroes of the Bitter Harvest – A Standalone Tactical Wargame

Heroes of the Bitter Harvest is a standalone module in the renowned Lock 'n Load Tactical Series, immersing players in the intense battles of Operation Case Blue (Fall Blau) during the German summer offensive of 1942. Designed for squad-level tactical combat, this game features a fluid, impulse-based turn system, individual heroics, and an arsenal of new units and mechanics to bring the fight for the southern steppes of Russia to life.

Relive Operation Case Blue

On June 28, 1942, the German High Command launched a two-pronged assault deep into Soviet-held territory. With two Army Groups comprising 10 armies, nearly 35 divisions, and two full Air Corps, the Wehrmacht aimed to crush Soviet resistance and secure vital resources. The battles raged across Voronezh, Rostov, the Silk Road at Khulkhuta, the Caucasus Mountains, and the outskirts of Stalingrad, culminating in one of history’s most grueling campaigns.

Now, you can take command and lead your forces through these decisive engagements, making the crucial choices that will shape the fate of your troops—and history.

New Units, Features, and Tactical Challenges

Heroes of the Bitter Harvest expands the Lock 'n Load Tactical system with never-before-seen mechanics and units, bringing new depth to the battlefield:

New German Vehicles: The Panzer IV F and G, Marder II, and StuG IIIF provide superior firepower and mobility.
Soviet Innovations: Deploy the Tachanka MG wagon, elite NKVD troops, and the powerful IL-2 Sturmovik for air support.
The Incompetent Leader Mechanic: A unique system where poor command decisions can impact battle outcomes.
