A Kriegsspiel Blog Opens

[Ike]

I have started a blog about my solo-Kriegsspiel campaign. Everyone is welcome to visit, read, comment, etc to their heart's content! I'm excited, frankly, because this is the quickest I've ever managed to begin a wargaming campaign using a new set of rules. The blog posts explain what's going on, so I'll just leave the url: http://nycar.wordpress.com/ . Welcome to one and all.

There is a remarkable account of a fellow playing a solo Colonial campaign using figs and the Mythic GM Emulator thing in the files section over at the Yahoo Group for Mythic RPG. From reading his adventures in solo wargaming using the emulator thing it sounds like it might work for a solo KS as well.

Thanks, Lugnakh! I'd forgotten about Mythic's products, but the GM emulator especially will work well with K-S solo. Thought I had a copy downloaded free from their beta, but I guess I lost it in changing computers. Thanks for the link, too, as I've apparently erased it ... ... heh.

Sure thing! Hope it might be of some use.
You anywhere near Austin? You might be able to get some of the guys at Greathall Games into a KS game. I think they play a lot of historical miniatures there. That shop reminded me of the game stores of old. Not many like it these days.

Actually, I'm about 50 miles south of Austin. I've been to Greathall a couple of times over the years and they do play a lot of miniatures there. My problem is time, even though I'm retired it's still nearly an hour's drive each way - with the traffic. In addition, they seem to have their own group going on there and don't appear to be ... it isn't that their not friendly ... they seem too clique-ish to me. I'm just getting old and grouchy and solo gaming seems to work best for me. Years back, I used to play every weekend at Fort Hood, mostly 15 mm Napoleonic using "Empire" rules, and FRPG gaming and campaigning. But that was fully 35 years ago. Now, not so much. It's a good idea, but when I've tried it ... I lose interest too quickly when I listen to arguments about rules too often. Call it a character defect on my part. And you're right, there aren't many places like it these days.
