Lock 'n Load Tactical Digital Hell Frozen Over Battlepack is an expansion module for Heroes of the Pacific, set during the 1943 battle to retake Attu. You play ten scenarios on a 22”x34” map depicting the island’s rugged, mountainous terrain.

The battle for Attu

In June 1942, the Imperial Japanese Army seized Attu in the Aleutian Islands of the United States Alaskan Territory. Fearing that Japan would use the island as a base to control northern Pacific sea lanes, the United States launched an assault in May 1943. About 2,500 Japanese soldiers, mostly from the 301st Independent Infantry Battalion, defended the high mountains against Americans from the 7th and 32nd Infantry Regiments of the 7th Division. The campaign lasted nearly three weeks in brutal Arctic conditions and culminated in one of the war’s largest Banzai charges.

Attu’s terrain

The map’s terrain spans eight levels of elevation and includes boot-sticking Muskeg, rock-strewn Rough, precipitous Cliffs and jagged Razorbacks across the mountains. Fog and sudden high winds, known to the Aleuts as “Williwaws,” complicate the struggle to take and hold ground. The fighting covers Clevesy Pass, Cold Mountain, Point Able, Engineer Hill, the Sarana Valley and Prendergast Ridge, progressing hex by hex, yard by yard, bullet by bullet and hand to hand until the last Japanese soldier is vanquished.
