"7TV" is very easy for solo play I find, as most models are either shooters or punchers, so its easy to account for what they want to do. A random dice roll then decides who is activated, with every two AA tokens resulting in another activation as well. Simples :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-52072340993679928302014-11-29T14:01:37.097-08:002014-11-29T14:01:37.097-08:00Something I'll have to figure out is a solo me...Something I'll have to figure out is a solo mechanic for my games. <br /><br />For Blood Bowl I used a simple activation test using two d6, 7 being the base score and then as player's gained experience the score rose - player's had to roll under the score and if failed they behaved in a random manner, the trick being doing you attempt activation and risk chaos or remain still (I allowed an unactivated model to defend themselves) and keep the team formation intact. <br /><br />Something for me to look into.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-20692115215055242992014-11-29T13:20:12.677-08:002014-11-29T13:20:12.677-08:00Both - depending upon whether my eldest is at home...Both - depending upon whether my eldest is at home and whether he fancied the characters I've painted/written the stats for.

I take exception to it! <br />My own games will see Ms Kyle as the hero of the hour, against the villainous Dr. Kim (and my other baddy, yet to be named, and both being my own creations). The action taking place also in Gotham, because I like the TV show currently on Channel 5. I will seek to redress this insult on Ms Kyle's behalf.<br />Good day sir ;)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-25982774644251945632014-11-29T09:17:50.338-08:002014-11-29T09:17:50.338-08:00Many thanks Anne.

I know you like your superheroes :-) I think the problem was that neither The Thing nor Batman arrived until halfway through the game... so perhaps for future games we'll change the rules so that stars/co-stars deploy on the second turn if they haven't arrived on the first. Fighting extra vs extra was okay for a couple of turns but as you say, you really want the stars 'duking it out' with one another. It was a LOL moment when Catwoman got clobbered :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-86634017118333188402014-11-29T06:51:18.323-08:002014-11-29T06:51:18.323-08:00Another exciting batrep but I admit that I was dis...Another exciting batrep but I admit that I was disappointed not to see the Abomination and the Thing going head to head. The best moment for me, was the Thing knocking out Catwoman with his little finger. So funny but probably a realistic outcome.

However as all he could have done with it was clobber the 'Eavy it wasn't much of a mistake at the end of the day. I too was hoping for a meeting of the great powerhouses... but at least this time Ben Grimm was still on his feet at the end of the fight :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-62491889835772839802014-11-29T06:19:38.270-08:002014-11-29T06:19:38.270-08:00Wow the Abomination really is a monster of a figur...Wow the Abomination really is a monster of a figure isn't he.

But unfortunately the 'title decider' Abomination vs The Thing never came to be... though at the end it did appear that the Gotham Cop with the nightstick must have had something Metahuman about him :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-37593185405194798962014-11-29T03:48:42.597-08:002014-11-29T03:48:42.597-08:00Meow!
