  • Watch me try the first mission of the first campaign. I mean, I should be good at this, right?
    Just to clarify, as I'm not sure I said this, but Pinned Canadian units cannot Move (or Attack) until they Rally.

    Hi, Mike. I just discovered your games by way of Box of Delights session of Battles of the English Civil War. Your series looks brilliantly creative and incredibly fun for the solo gamer. Eager to pick up a volume or two. WWI most interests me, so it may be first. Thanks, Mike!

    Just ordered my copy from Amazon - delivery Friday they tell me 🙁
    Count me in as a +1 for WW2 Eastern Front if/when you get chance.
    Of course, I’d also be interested in something sci-fi (infantry or mecha maybe, rather than space ships). A generic “ancients” game would be nice too and, with a bit of gloss for, say, stuff like magicians and big creatures, could easily be re-jigged for Conan-esque type fantasy. Napoleonics and American Civil War would likely be popular too.

      @Mike Lambo Solitaire Book Games Watched the video of making your own counters, where do you get the sticky paper and how do you print the counters onto it? I'd assume you can't just chuck that kind of paper into a normal printer?

And yes, I just chuck them in my standard cheap printer! I stick them onto any old card - usually some carton I got from somewhere. Medium kind of thickness (1-2mm).

    Hi Mike, you've used both hex and square grids in your games. How do you decide on which grid type to use? Thank you for making these elegant games!

    • @mikelambosolitairebookgames
      @mikelambosolitairebookgames  Рік тому +1

      It really just depends what suits the game best. I could have gone with hexes here, but wanted 8 directions of fire and it also suits the kind if horizontal flow of the trench system too. As I say, either could have worked here. I personally prefer hexes to play on, but they don't make such neat map edges 🙂
