Thread: Solo game

  1. #1

    Default Solo game

    Hi guys,

    Since when i was Nick_ace, i saw AARs and comments saying about solo games.
    First: Where can i find rules for this solo game.
    Second (a very stupid question but still a question): Can i really play alone, without any modifications on the game, besides the rules?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can play solo, Nicholas. If you click on the files link at the top of the page and then look in the 'House rules' sections you will find solo play rules.

    G'day Nick!
    Also check out the rules Dave (flash) has posted in the solo Campaign section. That will give you a great overview how we play solo games.
    The Solo manoeuvre charts & clock template are available to print from the files section.

    And if you are like many of us and like a more substantial template that will stand up to a lot of gaming, there is always the acrylic Solo Template from AA Oh, looks like I need to make more of those this weekend.

    We currently play a spin off from Richard Bradleys fine solo rules and use the template he created Nick. His basic movement charts / rules can be found here: http://tynesidewargames.co.uk/wowrules.html and the movement charts created by Blackronin that we use now can be found here in the files section: http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/dow...p?do=cat&id=63
    Get downloading and give it a try !

    Once downloaded then try and get in on one of the campaigns running. They are a blast.

    Thanks

    Flash (Dave) is running the Early Doors solo campaign. One player will submit a scenario at the beginning of the month over the course of the campaign. Each participant will get to design a scenario over the 18(?) months we will be playing out this campaign. During the month we each play out the new submitted scenario and post our AAR. Dave keep track of all the victories and losses.

    Go to http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/for...r-the-Trenches to see all that is/has been going on. All the campaign rules and scenarios are posted here.

    I was wondering this same thing about the solo rules - just tried them out with a (very unbalanced) impromptu photo-recon scenario, seeing as I don't have anything going on tonight, and got them straight away cheated a bit and guesstimated the angles rather than using the template by getting my eyes down to table level and judging it, but it worked without any issues! Will have to try out a 1-on-1 dogfight tomorrow and really get to grips with it.
