A Home Raiders Solo Play and Solo Learn Experience
Setting Up The First game
I’ll be playing a “battle box” game to begin with. I’ll be using the models from the core box only. This leaves the Lilliputians 1 point down so they will be taking the mercenary Mortimer so both sides are balanced.
The book says you can play on any surface shape or size you like, but objectives must be placed 15″ away from your portal (Your deployment zone is anywhere with 6″ from the object you designate as your portal, placed on a table edge either in the middle, or at opposite corners, decided by a dice roll. One of 3 objectives are chosen from a dice roll too. For my first game I rolled “Direct Confrontation” and “Strategic Spot”
The rules suggest around 2 pieces of terrain for every square foot of table. it also suggests taking a bin of dry waste and just tipping it on the surface and playing through that. I’ve gone for option 1 and done my best. The theme was “whats left after a board gaming evening”. See my setup below. I’ll be using the imaginary line the portals are on as that “edge of the table” and playing up to the sides of the table. The 40mm circular tokens are the objectives.
The table setup, before deployment. The Gremlins portal is the cork screw as it is mechanical, and the Liliputians will use the pot of hand sanitiser as good hygiene is a form of order and I had no better ideas. Shut up, ok?
