BattReps: Official surrender

http://battreps.blogspot.com/2015/04/official-surrender.html

Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Thursday, April 9, 2015. I finally decided to try 5 Core (second edition) from Nordic Weasel Games. And, unfortunately, I have to confirm what other people already stated on the web - 5 Core is the best SF/modern skirmish game available on the internet. Didn't expect this to happen - but I am totally hooked :). Game was played on 1"x1" table using GW Epic 6mm orks and marines and 1'=3' ruler. Covered by support fire from auto rifle, one bra...

Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Saturday, September 27, 2014. The person I am familiar with, the "well known solo RPG blogger" just turned 40 today. So few days ago I decided to threat him with a book. And the package from BookDepository arrived today, just on time. Now all he needs is to wait for Dungen Master's Guide to be publish in December and he will be able to solo 5th edition D&D :). Labels: Solo wargames and RPG. Wednesday, September 24, 2014.

BattReps: November 2014

http://battreps.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Friday, November 28, 2014. The main problem I have with the two producers of 6mm napoleonic armies I use is their opinion about necessity of NCOs in the army. To overcome this problem I am usually doing conversions. The easiest way is to convert spare eagle bearer into NCO, by cutting eagle and painting remaining part of the pole as musket, with some simple bending to create bayonet. Then, I noticed drummer from the same strip. It's rig...

For the first adventure, I decided to test The Aladdin Technique. What I want to play now could be described as:. After some Rory's Story Cubes rolling, i got:. 3 Twist - Magic and Temple.

BattReps: May 2015

http://battreps.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Monday, May 25, 2015. Morale Napoleon - the game. As I mentioned earlier, I was tactically beaten by the system in the very beginning, but I decided to go on with my initial plan, since this was my first game of Moral Napoleon, and I wanted to see what will happen. On the west, Polish lancers charged British Light Dragoons and rooted them, but pursued into Light infantry who rooted them in turn. What I learned: French troops with several ba...

This time, it is a game called Tiny Epic Defenders, by Gamelyn Games. Tiny Epic Defenders is a 1 filler game that can be played in 30 minutes. While some players judge it as repetitive, after first few games I see a lots of potential here. Solo wargames and RPG. Wednesday, February 18, 2015. After the loss in the last game, I wanted revenge. I moved first, so I sent one...

BattReps: Morale Napoleon set-up

http://battreps.blogspot.com/2015/05/morale-napoleon-set-up.html

Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Two Hour Wargames published new Napoleonic rules called Morale Napoleon, with intention to emulate big battles of the period. That means - it is time for the new game :). Even when I play big battles, I like to make them small, so following Ed's example, I started with one infantry division and one cavalry brigade per side. I used point system, so both sides have 247 points. Here is the set-up. Stay tuned for more.
