A Brief Demonstration of my Soloplay Mechanism

[Dobbs]

The following is a few turns showing how my Soloplay system works.

For those interested, here's the link to download the rules:

The latest version and the Bearing Template is on line 60.

I use a modified version of the sideslip cards (cards 3-6 in any deck). If you don't want to use these, play a regular straight instead when a sideslip would be used. If interested, here's the link:

The download for the basic ships is on line 27. There are more on line 34.

The setup; two evenly matched frigates.



Outside of 2 combat rulers, the AI ship moves straight.



Inside of 2 rulers, the AI ship runs off the charts. Here we see it in the yellow sailing arc on a port tack.



The opponent (me) is ahead of the AI ship and on a reciprocal course. The AI rolls a 5, minus 4 for being beyond long range.



The result, I chose to go straight and the AI ship luffed up.

More to come...
