Lone Sherman: The Pacific: A Solitaire Wargame (Mike Lambo Games)

By Mike Lambo

This game is a sequel to Lone Sherman and not an expansion. It is a standalone game. Lone Sherman: The Pacific puts you in charge of a single Sherman Tank and its crew on several Pacific Islands in World War II, and tasks you with navigating your Sherman through challenging Scenarios. Whilst this game is not a 'narrative driven' game as such, with a little imagination it will provide memorable stories. Some events are randomly generated, but the Player always has at least some degree of control over the level of risk they wish to take and how vulnerable they leave their Tank to these Events. The aim of this book is to present a clear, accessible, and quick to learn game, so that players can get into the action quickly. Each of the 12 Scenarios can be played in around an hour, although sometimes a Scenario will last a much shorter time if your Tank is destroyed! Each Mission provides plenty of replayability due to the random set up of the initial forces and the many Events and decisions in the game. This book is a solitaire hex and counter style wargame. You play the game, and the enemy is controlled by the game book (or the Artificial Intelligence or 'AI'). You will need to bring at least 5, but preferably 7, standard six-sided dice. Full colour 'Mission Maps' are included. Methods to play the game include: Cut out or copy the counters provided on the final page of the book, stick them to card and cut them out with a good quality craft knife or pair of scissors. Photocopy the maps and draw/write on the pages lightly in pencil and erase when necessary. You can use any annotations you choose for the units, that make sense to you. Lay the book flat (it's well-bound, it can stand it!) and use cubes, miniatures, or similar tokens for the units. Use some kind of acetate and dry-wipe markers. Take a photo of the maps on a tablet and use the "edit" function to draw and erase. ** Full Colour Maps and Counter Sheet included** Complexity: 3/5 Players: 1 Time: 60 minutes per Mission (average)
