Sad, but true. I've done lots of solitaire play in the past, but not for epic, yet.

Hi! Its kind of fun if you do it with a scenario based objective instead of a standard battle. Primarch |

What games did you play and how was it? |

Lots of Avalon Hill games, but I have played Space Hulk solo. For the most part it was okay, not as good as playing a live opponent, but I figured it was better than not playing at all. Some AH games are more suitable for solo play than others. I also bought some AH games which were designed as solitaire games only. The hardest part I found about playing both sides is trying to forget what your strategy/plans are for the "enemy" when you were taking the turn for one side. |

I've heard of using cards to determine actions for each side or the "enemy" side |

as the ability to carry out actions require a dice roll, i'd think you can just do it for both sides without using cards |

I have tried it a few times in the last couple of months. It is odd somehow to be setting up the table, both forces, and knowing on one is going to be at the table other then me. Last game tried was Black Water Single. I lost. Of course I won too.  dafrca |

The real question is how many rules arguements did you have...

Good grief, bet anything I'd manage to lose.. and lose. By the way, that's the sort of rep I have with WH and 40K types around here - and I'm actually proud of it.

If I ever get there for a game or two you are going to lose that reputation. My tactical skills are on par with your average brick and the icing on the cake (brick?) is my consistently bad luck.  Back on topic, ASL had a whole module dedicated for a solo play system. It included things like random reinforcements for both sides and actually looked pretty good. Surprisingly ( ) I happen to have that module; I'd probably have to digf it out to see what the system is like. Maybe it could be adapted to other games...

Gaunts Ghost is currently working on solo rules for Epic A. I will see if I can get him to post it when they are ready. |

That looks like an interesting book. Donald Featherstone also wrote one (many years ago now) that had all sorts of optional card systems for army layout, randomis8ing factors during turns and the like. I have come up with randomising systems for most games and have played nearly everything I own solitair at least once. The use of the kids to moce stuff as generally instructed can add quite a radomising factor as they never quite end up where you thought they would!
