White Star Rising introduces Lockn Load Publishings Nations at War (NAW) game system. Based on the popular World at War, NAW depicts platoon level combat in World War II. Here you’ll find everything you're looking for in a platoon-level game -armor, artillery, infantry that serves as more than cannon fodder, command and control, air support, amphibious landings, and desperate close assaults that leave the victor in possession of the ground and the defeated in headlong retreat, all in eight pages of rules. That's two less than the World at War system.

White Star Rising, which focuses on the fighting between the Americans and Germans, includes two counter sheets replete with the vehicles, men, and weapons of both the American and German armies that fought in France, Belgium, and Germany in 1944-45. You’ll fight battles at Omaha Beach, in the Lorraine, on the outskirts of Belgium, and in Germany itself. There are 16 scenarios, played out on four 11'' x 17'' geomorphic maps with 3/4 (.75'') counters. That’s right, no more squinting to make out that tank platoon’s range; these counters are BIG. It’s all included in an attractive, bookcase-sized box. See About the Game , below, for more details. The game ships in a box with the following components:
