| OK, the solo rules have gone through a handful of playtest sessions (by me and a small group of supportive friends). Here's a report on how a small "The Raiders" scenario went this past weekend. The human player took control of some of my painted Orks -- namely a Terror Ship "Skreamin' Deth" a... |

| Have to try... I need an Ork Kroozer or Terror Ship (preferably in blister but I'll take what I can get). ?In trade, I have three Chaos Iconoclasts and a handful of ship sprues (not hulls, just weapon mounts) for anyone looking to configure existing/new ships. It's a small trade, but if you're looki... |

| I like this random event. Don't want to post too much just yet, but here's an addt'l example of what a botched LD roll could do to you (not the AI opponent, just you): POWER STRUGGLE: Your admiral/warlord/???s ineffectual leadership has encouraged the ship?s commissar, flag lieutenant or some ... |

| I've come up with a list of random events/plot devices to make things more challenging for the player. You roll a D6 and depending on the result, different things may be triggered over the course of the battle. Here's an example that would affect your ability to command your fleet: BEST ... |

| Hey there -- The idea is to have a quick way to compare the AI fleet's capabilities to your own and use that to help formulate its decisions (although there is some randomness thrown in). For example, there's a guideline for when an AI fleet may attempt to use "All Ahead Full" to close the gap... |

| If folks pervert them once they're in hand, there's nothing I can do. But it's a good point. What I want is to provide a way for the AI fleet you're fighting against to act according to its abilities (IE, a fleet facing an opponent with a serious range advantage is going to try to close as qui... |

| Using the above example (attack craft), say you're playing an Imperial Fleet and have the AI taking control of a Chaos force lead by a Styx CH. You have a Dictator with 4 bays, the Styx has 6. During each Phase in which the Styx has its bays loaded, you would roll D6 to determine how its attac... |

| It is an interesting idea. Could you base it on the Tyranid rules where they have set guides when out of control of the Hivemind? =============== Kinda. It's basically a set of guidelines that try to prevent the human player from forcing the AI into bad decisions, and to add some variance to h... |

21 views and 1 response. Not a whole lot of interest 
Cuban, I'll PM you with my email address so you can contact me whenever you're ready (moving's a pain, Army had me doing it 3 times in two years when I was in Japan -- which won me a lot of points with the wife ).  |

| Hey -- I'm not going to knock solo play. It's one way to get the rules down pat before you head off to a real game, and BFG is such that it's ideal for picking up your minis if yer stuck at home with no one to play (no extensive terrain and not a ton of models). That being said, I've bee... |
