DOH!.... I don't need another game..... but this looks sooooo cool.... :idiot2:
-
this is going to be my next game purchase
-
It does look good. And can still get it at the P500 price.
-
The shipping cost from GMT is always a deterrent for me. Over 20% of the game cost is tough to take. I can wait for it to be on Amazon.

And here it is! It's heavy too...

When do you play things that don't involve meeples or cards?

I've got Tank on Tank: Defenders of the Rhine on the table right now

I had to google what a Meeple was.. Hey I got Meeple in Scythe! :-[

... playing?
??? What is playing? Your words confuse me.

I was able to find Red Storm through a 3rd party for $60 including shipping. Should have it on 10/19.

Single player?
Never mind - Solitaire Suitability is low.

Yeah I love the subject matter of this game, but no solo mode is a no go for me.

From the final rulebook on the Red Storm web page:
33.0 Solitaire Rules
While Red Storm is best played with two or more players, with relatively minor changes it also makes an excellent solitaire game. These rules offer players two choices: modifications to the rules to smooth “limited” solo play and a more fulsome solitaire experience using a series of charts and tables that form a “bot” to play against using “full” solo rules. Limited solo play will work with any of the scenarios in the game. The full solitaire game requires specially designed solitaire scenarios that set scenario conditions but also allow for variation in the scenarios each time they are played.
33.1 Limited Solitaire Rules
The limited solitaire rules allow players to play both sides of a scenario by “switching roles” back and forth. They remove the numerous fog-of-war and concealment aspects of the base rules. They also provide an excellent way to learn the game on one’s own, since almost all of the game works exactly the same. In general, a player should “do what makes sense” for each side.
...
33.2 Full Solitaire Rules
The Full Solitaire Play (FSP) rules transform the game substantially. Although game mechanics operate the same, actions for the “bot” are randomized by use of specific priorities when the bot makes decisions, referencing various tables to determine actions for bot flights, SAMs, and AAA units.

Dammit, Barth >:(

Just trying to help. :whistle:

I'm pretty much precluded from buying anything unless it's on Amazon - budget's too tight right now.
But it's good to know that it is solo-capable.
Stags, I'm guessing you have not played it yet?

I'm patiently waiting for my Storming the Gap game 😁

There's another foreign word again... is it the past tense of that other one? ???
No, I have not. Right now I don't even have any open surface area besides the living room floor. I'm working hard on that, I really am... (he was heard to mumble while sitting at his computer browsing the forums)

:ROFL:
I know the feeling, brother...trust me!

Give it a good fondle for us
-
Oh, I will. Counter clipping to commence this evening.
-
:applause:
-
Did you finish mangling USE? :doh:
-
USE...?
-
Unconditional Surrender: Europe
-
I have not yet freed my counter brethren from the oppressive capitalist bourgeois square corners, but purification is imminent.
-
My question was directed at mirth, as he was mangling his counters while we recorded last night....
Didn't even know you had USE.
-
The clipping of USE continues...
-
Oh yes, I have USE as well. I wouldn't want my USE counters to feel...USEless.

To be fair, BC may not remember he owns it either.

While I applaud your attempt at a joke, how would I not know I have it when I just said I do?

The important thing is I have my copy of the game.

Where abouts on the 'To Clip' schedule is it? ;)

Next up after USE.

There is probably a medical condition called 'Clippers Wrist' or 'Round Corner Elbow'.....................

The burdens one endures for the hobby...

At least Vance won't have that to worry about :)

He'll put an eye out with those sharp, pointed corners.

The important thing is that you're going to do a write-up of the game, right? :2thumbs:

You're assuming he knows how to write.

So Vance, doesn't mind 'clipping' as long as it's not rounded corners?
-
FYI for you solo guys, the solitaire system looks to be fully fleshed out and the game comes with a half dozen or so scenarios that are designed for solo play (the introductory scenario is also solo).
I may actually do some solo play with this one to learn the rules.

Shouldn't that be the default setting on your life?
