What are you going to play if we go into isolation?

Post by Buff Orpington »

I know that the lead pile could do with two weeks uninterrupted work but what about playing with your toys? By sheer good fortune the author of Zona Alfa has just posted his ideas for solo/co-op play. It's on FB but should also be on Osprey's site.

I did Sumption (for the second time) last year while living out of a camper van, otherwise it would be my default.
I’m going to be playing Sharp Practice and Infamy,Infamy and painting Jacobites and Romans. Or possibly Victorians. Or Baron’s War. Maybe Zombies. Wait, that German Spartacist project could do with some love.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

Business as usual LT. Keep calm and carry on!

I might finish painting my Chilean war of independence, but more likely I will be working on my side gig all the time.

I bought the Stratego: Waterloo game. Either play solo or work out a way to play the boy, over the phone.

Most of my RPG gaming is done online, so that’s fine. Maybe some Discord Kriegspiel. And lots of painting

How long do you think this will last?
That's 2 years worth at least and he is allegedly working on vol 5.

Well, the Covid-19 thing has dented my plans to make a Malayan jungle (all the plant stuff seems to come from China), so I may just content myself with six hussars for the Ayton Face Sulk and make a start on the 1942 Japanese. Unfortunately #1, my wife will be working from home from next Wednesday, so I'm going to be in the firing line for household "improvements" thereby reducing my painting time. Unfortunately #2, my regular gaming buddy has a marginally worse medical problem than me, in that he will require a liver transplant within the next few years (depending on rate of deterioration) so has already self-isolated - mind you, he's making excellent progress with his Barbarossa CoC forces and terrain.

So, you are going to get a Japanese CoC but you won't be sticking it into a Chinese jungle.

He is indeed. Cannot wait for it!
