I had a few spare minutes today after work (and before I started schoolwork) to look through "Programmed Wargames Scenarios". I decided that Scenario 1 - Hill Line Defence would be a nice simple start point for my first solo wargame. In this scenario, the defending force occupies a low ridge line while the attacking force has deployed off the line of march and is ready to begin the attack. The attacking force mission is to take the hill and defeat the defending force within a day. The attacking force knows the general location of the defenders, but has no detailed knowledge of their strength or disposition. Also, the defending force has little knowledge of the attackers strength and intent.
The first decision is what side to play. Neither seems to offer any significant advantage or disadvantage in terms of simplicity, so I'll play the attacking force for this game. The defender will be the "programmed" force.
The setting for this game will be the American Civil War with VSF elements to make things interesting. For whatever reason, my usual gaming partner (my son) always wants to play the Union force. I'll stick with the usual and play the Confederates as the attacking force for this game
That's all for now. More to follow soon.
