Isolation is Bliss to a Solo Gamer!

Hi Chaps,

I pray that you are all healthy and avoiding the virus?

On to business... the UK is in "lockdown" which makes sense to me and as a solo gamer makes very little difference... work will continue as will my hobby though disaster has struck on the figure front.

As I am sure you have all experienced I wanted to paint a period that I had no figures for! Usually I do not watch TV but I am now on the third series of Narcos and to my shame I am thoroughly enjoying it! So having sold my modern figures I have ordered a few more from Empress... will they arrive before I return to work?

I do have clear outs of figures and have no regrets as my painting moves on and well I enjoy painting! One thing I will not be clearing out is the second edition of Spectre Miniatures modern ruleset. Over the last few days I have been reading this manual and with the handful of figures that I still possess trying to work out the rules-great fun.

So with a 3 foot square board and plenty of time for two weeks I am left with a dozen figures and about 50 zombies. What will you guys be getting up to?

Stay safe and enjoy the ride.

  1. It's a strange time all round, to be sure. I'm glad you're hunkering down to weather it all out. It's pretty much the same here in Toledo, OH. I work from home, and I'm also a solo gamer, and had the sneaking thought it'd be business as usual for me - or even more so. Instead it's been a bit bonkers, quite frankly. Ho hum, I'll get a game or five in, I'm sure. Stay well!

  4. I want to share my testimony on how i got the blank ATM card. I was so wrecked that my company fired me simply because i did not obliged to their terms, so they hacked into my system and phone and makes it so difficult to get any other job, i did all i could but things kept getting worse by the day that i couldn’t afford my 3 kids fees and pay my bills. I owe so many people trying to borrow money to survive because my old company couldn’t allow me get another job and they did all they could to destroy my life just for declining to be among their evil deeds. haven’t given up i kept searching for job online when i came across the testimony of a lady called Judith regarding how she got the blank ATM card. Due to my present state, i had to get in touch with Hacker called OSCAR WHITE of oscarwhitehackersworld@gmail.com and he told me the procedures and along with the terms which i agreed to abide and i was told that the Blank card will be deliver to me without any further delay and i hold on to his words and to my greatest surprise, i received an ATM card worth $4.5 million USD , All Thanks to OSCAR WHITE , if you are facing any financial problem contact him asap email address is oscarwhitehackersworld@gmail.com or whats-app +1(323)-362-2310

  5. Wow!, this was a real quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article but what can I say I procrastinate a lot and never seem to get something done

  7. I want to testify about Dark Web blank atm cards which can withdraw money from any atm machines around the world. I was very poor before and have no job. I saw so many testimony about how Dark Web hackers send them the atm blank card and use it to collect money in any atm machine and become rich. (: blankatmhackmechine@gmail.com     ) I email them also and they sent me the blank atm card. I have use it to get 90,000 dollars. withdraw the maximum of 5,000 USD daily. Dark Web is giving out the card just to help the poor. Hack and take money directly from any atm machine vault with the use of atm programmed card which runs in automatic mode.

  9. I’m getting into the solo gaming aspect of the hobby too mate. It makes sense for me given that I have to balance family and work with my pastimes. Which rulesets are you using?

    Ive been using Rangers of Shadowdeep, the excellent ‘Sellswords and Spellslingers’ and have bought into Hardwired and Nightwatch by the excellent Patrick Todoroff, (well worth a look).

    I’ll be following your blog with interest. Keep on doing what you’re doing and take care.

    1. Hi Tom, sorry but this may be a record for a late reply. Solo wargaming for me is far more rewarding than a "game" against an opponent as I can take into account the campaign that my game will be set in. Usually there are more objectives rather than just winning, ie I can count as a success if a force holds a larger army at bay for two or three turns. Not fun in a head to head game but far more fun if the game has its own context in a campaign

  10. I'd love to solo wargame rapid fire! Is there somewhere I could get advice please?

    1. I realise that this reply is 3 years late and for that I am sorry. To solo a game like Rapid Fire I write the objectives for attacker and defender and some very basic limited orders. For both sides I have a point where I will attempt to disengage, usually set by a number of casualtis
