Field of Glory: Napoleonic solo, couple of turns played

Played several turns of FOGN game I had set up.
Really only as a refresher for the rules, which I like despite their competition bent.
Surprisingly I recalled most of the rules (maybe not all the nuances) and things played quickly.
However not very conducive to solo play as very much a two player system so I declined to complete the game.
No real ‘chaos/inertia’ factor, bar some Complex Move Tests.
But it does what it says it does and is not trying to be something else.
Certainly the systems are all slick and relatively simple and geared to generating a decisive result in a 2-3 hours of play ie perfect for competitions.
I do like a lot of the interplay between unit types and all plausible stuff and still think the battle generation system is inspired.
But certainly not as dynamic or as exciting as FOB, but nice to have an alternative that has points and decent army lists for generating games with minimal preparation.
Ah well hope to give them another outing once human interaction (or at least the wargamer version) is restored.


Some strange angular cloud formations seemed to pass over the battlefield.....strange days indeed...

  2. Excellent - I haven't seen blinds on a wargames table since I used to play Toofatlardies' "Le Feu Sacre"
