Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Tuesday, June 17, 2014. News from the gaming front lines. For a long time now I have nothing new and finished to report.

That uses very nice dice allocation mechanism to access player's abilities. BGG Solitaire PnP Contest. Solo wargames and RPG. Monday, June 9, 2014. It is a Eurogame styled ...

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. But Oolong was not ...

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...

Congratulations to lucky winners. I would like to ask both of you to send me your shipping addresses to e-mail sharanac (at) yahoo (dot) com, or on G hangout. Lone Warrior B...

BattReps: January 2015
http://battreps.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Friday, January 30, 2015. Yesterday, I received a copy of the first "physical" kickstarter I ever supported. It is a card game called Pleasant Dreams. It is a simple push your luck card game, no better or worst than bulk of the print and play games appearing every year on BGG solo print and play competition. Challenge and re-playability level for one player is pretty low. Game seems to fare a little better for two players. I pre-ordered GM ...

Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Oolong, the Scarlet Hero. And so I decided to start a Scarlet Heroes campaign. First thing, I had to roll a hero. Applying statistics as rolled, I got: Str 8 (-1), Dex 17 ( 2), Con 10 (0), Int 12 (0), Wis 13 ( 1) and Cha 12 (0). 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.

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...

BattReps: October 2014

Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Wednesday, October 29, 2014. Recently I was reading again Heinlein's Starship Troopers, so I got urge to go for some bug hunting. For this, I used 5150: Battalion Commander by Two Hours Wargames. Battalion level games are the point where, in my opinion, 2HW games really shine, and therefore 5150: Battalion Commander, Warrior Heroes: Warbands and especially Muskets and Shakos are my favorite titles from this publisher. I missed one In Sight ...

Wargame, RPG and Boardgame experience, preferably consumed solo. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. Another physical kickstarter award arrived. 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...
