Enough decision making and lots of action.<br /><br />The 30 games in 30 days is all about playtesting the programmed opponent and not really the games themselves. I could do AARs for each game but then I would have to take extra pictures, take notes and then write it up. At another hour per game (at least), the playtesting would never happen! I am not even summarising the action (I did do this in my last playtest with only 5 games).Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394777082320559161.post-12072055097409402332015-10-03T14:47:50.841+10:002015-10-03T14:47:50.841+10:00Damn man, 20-30 minutes!?

Any issues on that front?<br /><br />And no sweat regarding impingement, there's plenty of room at the top buddy ;)<br /><br />And doing less-detailed batreps has occurred to me, but 1) it seems like folks enjoy the detail in my reports, and 2) I find it's hard for me to sort of summarize or know when to take pictures if I'm taking less pictures. <br /><br />What I mean is, in order to properly summarize what happened for a batrep, I'd still have to do all the photo- and note-taking during the battle (so not saving any time there), I just wouldn't use it all when doing the batrep (which would save time, but then I'd have a hard time not using everything I took).<br /><br />Anyway, I hope you're not reading this because you're ripping through your next five games! ;)<br /><br />Take care man.<br /><br />V/R,<br />JackJust Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394777082320559161.post-27276829946456057172015-10-03T07:33:48.851+10:002015-10-03T07:33:48.851+10:0040 minutes is the longest time it should play - mo...40 minutes is the longest time it should play - most games are around 30 minutes, and can be 20 minutes on a good day.<br /><br />Not trying to impinge on you gaming demi-god status as I am not doing full AARs of each battle - more a summary of how the solo gaming engine went!Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394777082320559161.post-43210138621637860452015-10-03T02:41:23.953+10:002015-10-03T02:41:23.953+10:00Shaun,

I still don't understand Ancients combat, but I can't help but look at the Hoplites above and think, 'man, those look pretty cool.'<br /><br />Games down to 40 minutes, eh? Now that is a worthy objective! Campaigns galore! Man, I've got so much to do, and not enough time to do it!<br /><br />Keep up the good work brother, I'm looking forward to your next update.<br /><br />V/R,<br />JackJust Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03552962741823929433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394777082320559161.post-67298831536401618952015-10-01T22:20:43.005+10:002015-10-01T22:20:43.005+10:00Hello John,

But considering I am playtesting both the rules and the programmed opponent, definitely better to wait untii I am finished.Shaun Travershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05691522858410783769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394777082320559161.post-7331899626082249002015-10-01T17:28:41.661+10:002015-10-01T17:28:41.661+10:00Hi Ian

I am hoping by the end of 30 games the rules will be fairly stable for armies from 3000BC to 1000AD and enough army lists for people to get anidea of troop types.
