I just pledged for this tonight! $140 Deluxe 2 pledge on Gamefound, which gets me Heroes of the Bitter Harvest expansion for the Lock ‘N Load Tactical series and all Stretch Goals reached. This deluxe pledge also includes two Add-on expansions, Enemy at the Gates and Valor of the 13th! So, though it sounds like an expensive purchase pledge, I get three games and likely, a bunch of swag, which will almost certainly include a digital Steam key for LNLTactical on Steam.
I own the entire Tactical series so, of course I need these, too! Just going on Gamefound today. I anticipate it will easily reach its funding goal of $24K. At this point of the first day, near the end of the day, it’s already 35% funded.
Heroes of the Bitter Harvest is the latest East Front module in the Lock 'n Load Tactical series by designer and developer Devin Heinle. Heroes of the Bitter Harvest covers the German 1942 Summer offensive in South Russia, code named Case Blue. The German offensive was to capture the vital Baku oil fields but ended up finding itself at the gates of Stalingrad. The scenarios depict the vicious and brutal fighting across the steppes and mountains of southern Russia. German Landser, Mechanized, and Armored formations clash with Soviet Line, Guards, and NKVD Divisions. New vehicles, equipment, and leaders make their appearance.
The Lock 'n Load Tactical system features fluid, impulse-based turns, squad-level, and individual heroics, plus lots of armor and special rules to bring the fight for the southern steppes of Russia to life. New vehicles and equipment such as the German Pz IV F and G, along with the Marder II and StuG IIIF, join the battlefield. New Soviet forces include the Soviet Tachanka MG wagon, NKVD troops, and the IL2 Sturmovik. We also introduce a new leader type the Incompetent Leader. The scenarios range from the city of Voronezh and through Rostov, as far south as the Caucasus Mountains. Into the footsteps of the Silk Road at Khulkhuta, up and into the outskirts of Stalingrad itself. We also introduce a new leader type the Incompetent Leader.
The scenarios range from the city of Voronezh and through Rostov, as far south as the Caucasus Mountains. Into the footsteps of the Silk Road at Khulkhuta, up and into the outskirts of Stalingrad itself.
The steppes of southern Russia await you!

— Gamefound description
The Lock ‘n Load Tactical system is a squad-level tactical game using a quick impulse system with great immersive graphics giving you a true feeling of being there. Players maneuver forces to attack or defend objectives defined in each scenario. Game components are represented by counters representing squads, leaders, vehicles, armor units, and support weapons.
The system provides features for special squads, weapon units, and all types of vehicles that are all part of the game system. Single men such as Leaders, heroes, medics, nurses, and even chaplains can affect your battles by inspiring your men; leading them to feats of heroic bravery and more. Random events triggered during play can cause events like ambushes, and squad's panic to name a few. Battles can be so intense that stories can be written about them.

Super excited to add this to the collection!
…it’s a cool addition, as many a battle included them as something to contend with.
