Tide of Iron Continuing my solo wargaming, tried the beginner scenario again. Ended in a draw. The Americans couldn't knock out the last Tiger before round 4 ended. Picture is end of turn 2.
This looked like a game I would really enjoy, but I couldn't get either my hard core grognard friends or light wargaming people to give it a whirl. Thus, it sits in a box.
I bought it during the Fantasy Flight Christmas sale for a huge discount, assuming I would always be playing it solo. Grognards should like it, it’s a hex and chit game that uses minis instead of chits.
Loving these solo wargame posts man. Inspired me to set some solitaire stuff up again recently. I really think I prefer playing each side in historical wargames rather than games designed for solo.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
Are you using some sort of solo rules, or just taking each side?
ReplyDeleteJust taking each side.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to do it. I'm going to get the Next Wave box.
ReplyDeleteLook at all this shit, Stephen Holowczyk​.

It's a self-contained wargame with fiddly bits, some customization, and models. It's what I want!
ReplyDeleteI think if I like it I'm going to get the Stalingrad expansion.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this means I never have to get Flames of war or Bolt Action.
ReplyDeleteCasey, Bring those tanks to Gencon. I will take them home and mail them back to you a couple weeks later.
ReplyDeleteYou've fallen into my trap, Jim!
