Managed a full solo game of Colonial Twilight yesterday and what a cathartic time it was.
I played the Medium (4 deck) scenario which I have not tried before.
Game went along at a cracking rate and I just did not notice the whole (wet and dreary) afternoon disappear.
Game was narrowly won by the French Government (score -10) over the FLN (score -14) on 4th Propaganda card with some 9 Event cards unplayed (out of 48 in scenario).
I do so enjoy the COIN system even solo
++ Here in N.Ireland our Covid-19 restrictions are be eased and from now we are allowed to gather indoors with friends (groups of up to 6 with distancing) so 'proper' live wargaming back on the menu.
Game planned for next Monday with Stephen after a hiatus with our last game being on 12th March, which seems an absolute age ago !!
Not so sure when club meetings will return ?
Also hope to get back to face to face board wargaming with my Dad, but with he and my Mum both being in more vulnerable group (over 70 but no major medical conditions) we will need to discuss and maybe delay.
But certainly looking forward to getting back to some form of normality to counteract the depressing deluge of crap ongoing at present. ++
An interesting period that I've often thought of wargaming in 20mm. Best wishes for your return to gaming post hibernation. Here in Australia we're starting to relax as well. So far so good. Cheers Greg
ReplyDeleteYes an interesting 'war'.
DeleteTerrain being rather like Afghanistan might be a problem as so much occurred in rugged hilly/mountainous regions which I find hard to replicate in miniature.
But worth a go :-)
