Grasshoppers and Elephants
Feet on the ground, working on rules to use with my collection.
During the lockdown i have been messing about with some solo rules to go with the growing collection.
just so i can get some games in.
I have played quite a few rule sets like fng and force on force which work well solo but i was after something a bit different more like a board game crossed with a tabletop game. I always find with solo tabletop games that it is easy to give yourself the advantage through how you place enemy units and how you control them.
I was also trying to create the game to fit onto a smallish table, i made a gaming mat that is 2′ x 2′ with 3″ squares on it
i would have done hexes but found squares easier to draw.
The mat is a green grass mat from aldi that i sponged browns and greens and red acrylic paint and some weathering powders on and then stuck a load of types of grass tufts on to it.
The grid was drawn on with a good old sharpie marker.
