Hi all,

          Just a quick note to let you in on my next mini wargames treat. I am going to try out the Two Hour Wargames (C) 5150 Star Army skirmish Solo rules, using Games Workshop (C) Warhammer 40K "Rogue Trooper" Space Marines and Orks as opponents. There are assorted alien types to square off against, with different styles of attacks. It comes with a built in terrain generator, so you get unique games every time.

Why not use the 40k rules? There are no solo rules in there, and there are in 5150 Star Army. Most, if not all Two hour wargames are specifically designed for solo play in mind. Being Solo rules, there should be more of a surprise element in it for me, which is good.

Features

They use markers for the approaching enemy forces location, which may or not be ghosts. You do not know until actual contact with them. There is are assorted mission types, Patrol, Attack, Defend, vehicle and building rules. It has a campaign element in it as well, which should be fun.

I have finished the Ork and Star Army Marine Roll Call, just got to convert some of the weapons and check for damage done. Photos of the participants coming soon. I am still pondering the size of table to use, though.

Catch you later, stay safe,
