Modern Fleet game

JudgeDredd · April 17, 2016, 02:12:25 AM

Anyone have any ideas on a good, solitaire Modern fleet game? I'd prefer something "along the lines of" Fleet Commander Nimitz...not just a card "top trumps" like game.

Thanks

'Breaking the chains' has a note in it's BGG page about being 'solitaire friendly'. The same has been noted about the 'Fleet' games. I have 2nd Fleet (bought from B_C a while ago, thanks :) ) but have not yet gotten around to trying it out.

Where there is Discord: War in the South Atlantic is supposed to be great and is designed as a solitaire game.

^That looks really nice.

It does. I'd definitely pick up a copy if I were more into solitaire board games.

There is a solitaire modern naval game, forgetting the name, but it's by Miranda and simulates a carrier strike group working its way towards northern Norway.

You're best off with CMANO if you want to do solo modern naval warfare, IMHO.

it's a great game

it's a very hard-to-find game, which means

it's a bloody f'n' expensive game

^ exactly. I've been looking on and off for that for over a year and everytime I find it (and it has been available second hand), it's £80-£100.

It does look a great game though and as an absolute nut on The Falklands Conflict, I will eventually get one.

Just finished paying the mortgage off this month too....so our monthly disposable income has just increased on a monthly basis by £500!!!
