Thread: Midway Rising - multi-player?

  1. #1

    Default Midway Rising - multi-player?

    While preparing for a Guadalcanal campaign, I need something for my gaming group while I prepare more models.

    I will be running the Midway Rising campaign, but not as a solo game.

    Any warnings or thoughts? I see that the AI is usually bumped up an aircraft, which I won't be doing.

    What is AI ?

    AI = artificial intelligence, or, more colloquially, the opposition in a solo game.

    Have a read through the AARs, they might give a better insight as to how the games went from different perspectives.
    See you on the Dark Side......

    Yes, if playing solo, you can either - plan and move both planes, OR to add a bit of intrigue, your "opponent's" moves are done by "random". It's not really random, there are some great tools that folks have created (both using cards and a quick app) to determine a reasonable move based on where opposing planes on the board.

    Midway Rising play-area size?

    Is there a standard for the size of the playing area for these missions to get the right balance?
    Perhaps I didn't look deep enough.

    Using a 6' (or longer table) would put the bombers at a distinct disadvantage, as I've learned from a previous AAR...

    Thanks!
