Hi, New subscriber here, from Sweden. Found my way here from a thread on solitaire games on BGG yesterday (thanks Ben!). I have played Ambush! for 15+ years....
Programmed Wargames Scenarios by Charles Grant is a book of just that. Very good. Can be used for ancients, horse and musket, or modern. Most scenarios can be...
... Could someone post a quick summary of what exactly a "programmed scenario" is? I've been playing Nuts! by Two Hour Wargames, and it includes a number of ...
Hey Bob, Grant's book lays out a situation, Crossing a River, might be one, Holding a Ridgeline might be another. Next you decide which side you want to play,...
... I'm not sure I used the best possible term. I was referring to the type of solitaire play you get in Ambush! and the other games in that series from...
Bob, Look at the Two Hour Wargames overflow yahoo group, or the THW website. When we put NUTS! together I wrote some rules for running NPC's on the offensive....
... Ah, OK. I take it preparing the cards is a good bit of work, and each set is only applicable to one specific scenario? Are they locked to a specific force...
... Ah yes, I have downloaded your NPC Offensives and the D-Day Event Table, and they're fantastic. If I recall correctly, NPC Offensives gives general orders...
Hey, that's really cool! Wish I thought of it. hahaha ... one ... might ... model ... your ... between ... Stone, ... cropped, ... near ... features...
You could take the contact table idea and just draw a card ala reinforcements to see what is there when you find it. So that hedge row may hide nothing, an...
B17 from AH is the only one I can thjnk of off hand that was writtenas a solo game. Two Hour Wargames are useful to convert to solo due to their mechanisms....
hey Jim, Ambush is very good but very scripted. "When you get to hex A5, read paragraph 3" sort of thing. Don't think there would be much joy taking those...
... Yes, very much so. I'm sure there are many many hours of work behind each mission scripting every detail. Replayability is not so high for most missions. ...
... Yeah, its somewhere square in between those extremes that I want to be. The support material for Nuts already gets me more than halfway there. I have ...
... Do you suppose there would be any means to replace that with Mythic GME? Perhaps draw from a pre-generated list of "typical" questions, based on the ...
Well you could certainly customize Mythig style tables for certain settings/scenarios. The Variations book gives some good examples of how to do that. An...
OK. Ill just keep going thru Lone Warriot . Ive found several promising articles. Just need to clear all the Naval stuff off the table and try some 7YW or ...
Have you tried either 'Ranger' by Omega - a simulation of Modern Patrolling Operations? I like it. It has a map that draw your routes on and add info about the...
Ranger is great, and there are two expansions as well. I think Bill is bringing out a revised edition of Ranger, I'll have to check the Omega games site. ...
Hi! After a tiny amount of debate over the last week, Racingspider Games has decided we do have some internal interest in something (we're not sure yet) to...
I would be most definitely interested in a solo version of Campaigner. I vote for the insertion of the code. I need something that allows for the making of...
Hi Micah, That's great news! There are a lot of people interested in MORE PC Solo-Wargaming-support/integration capability than what's currently on offer, so...
Howdy Micah, This is great news. I have been playing around with your system for a while now. I feel with the virtual table top, this system could be just...
Ok, first of all, we're not going to have a "green lit" project for a while, there are a lot of things to take into consideration before we get the go-ahead,...
... there are a lot of things to take into consideration before we ... Micah, Just the fact you are considering the possibility is great news to a lot of...
Sounds like a great idea. Am realatively new to solo gaming but one of the things most gamers want to play i a campaign to have battles with meaning. Would...
Well, Campaigner requires the .NET Framework to run, so its not quite available for Mac. However, if we proceed with a solo "focused" project, it will most ...
Hi all! I'm unofficially throwing ideas around in my head and I'm loving the idea of a solo project. I have considerable weight to throw around at Racingspider...
