In fact, I've just pulled the box out now that I'm living somewhere that I can leave games set up for very long periods of time. <BR/><BR/>By far the worst part of solo play is that you don't have someone else there - I'm a very social gamer, but the fact that no one is there to make sure that you are playing with the correct rules or showing you the massive holes in your "strategy" is also a big problem, at least for me. <BR/><BR/>However, while I enjoy a lot of video and computer games, wargames just aren't the same unless they're on a board with pieces to push around. Perhaps it's because of nostalgia or that tactile activities are more rewarding in some way for me than cerebral ones (online gaming doesn't have the same feel for me, even with VASSAL or Cyberboard), I will play a ftf game any time it's possible and rarely play on computer. I'm fortunate to have several excellent opponents in my area, more fortunate still that none of them make incoming round noises when they fire their artillery or roll dice. ;-)Dughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827175240352968894noreply@blogger.com
