For future games, it would be nice to know how you are playing?

Are you playing against other humans?

Are you playing against HAL (the AI?)

Do you play both?



jack54 -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/27/2016 5:56:45 PM)

HAL almost exclusively.




Jason Petho -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/27/2016 6:02:12 PM)

Excellent to know, jack! Thank you for sharing!

What kind of scenarios do you prefer playing HAL?



jack54 -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/27/2016 6:19:13 PM)

My favorites are smaller sized meeting engagements. (I don't mind anything if it's historical but I usually look for smaller stuff.)



Jason Petho -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/27/2016 6:22:16 PM)

Any particular force structure? Or is variety good?



jack54 -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/27/2016 6:29:47 PM)

Like most wargamers I enjoy a good armor clash but I love the airmoble aspect of the modern setting.



Jason Petho -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/27/2016 6:33:33 PM)

Good to know, good to know.

Obviously, there won't be many armour meeting engagements in Vietnam. NATO War/Cold War I would definitely imagine there will be though!

jack54 -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/27/2016 7:08:41 PM)

Actually I think I may enjoy airmoble and Brown water just as much if not more.Something different.

Sorry didn't mean to dominate the poll thread.[;)]



Jason Petho -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/27/2016 7:33:49 PM)

Conversations are good, jack! Knowing what the customers want will help them get it!



dox44 -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/27/2016 8:48:08 PM)

Jason Petho -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/27/2016 8:59:17 PM)

Thanks for sharing, Casebier!



Warhorse -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/27/2016 9:05:29 PM)

Always was a campaign guy, but find myself mostly PBEM now!



Jason Petho -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/27/2016 9:07:27 PM)

What kind of campaigns do you like, Mike?



scottintacoma -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/27/2016 11:24:52 PM)

I have always prefer campaigns. Prefer the DCG but as there are non in ME, playing scenerios.



Jason Petho -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/27/2016 11:42:16 PM)

There are Linked Campaigns though!



scottintacoma -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/28/2016 12:42:05 AM)

True. I started one, and then went back to scenarios. I will try again latter.



Jason Petho -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/28/2016 12:43:57 AM)

I have intention to add more Linked Campaigns for Middle East, so if there are things you would like to see/play, don't hesitate to ask!



Big Ivan -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/28/2016 10:39:04 AM)

Hi Jason,

I'm about half & half human vs HAL.

When I do play HAL I tend in general to like the larger scenarios SM 7 or higher. Also like to random generate
scenarios, tweak them a bit and try them out on HAL just to see how he does. Mostly armored breakthrough or
bridgehead generated.

Against humans I'll try any scenario at least once. Outlaw Josie Wales and myself have an intense one going on right now
with Day of the Centurion. Very tough battle with close quarters tank combat in somewhat open terrain.

For campaign games like DCG more than LCG because of the randomness.

Overall mostly a WWII East Front guy who cut his teeth on Avalon Hill board games years ago. If it catches my fancy will always
checkout a new WWII game before anything else.

Thanks
John



Jason Petho -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/28/2016 3:40:47 PM)

That's excellent information! Thank you, Big Ivan!



Warhorse -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/29/2016 1:04:56 AM)

Hi Jason,

Sorry got sidetracked, I usually liked DCG's also because the random factor involved. Linked are very cool as well, and my hat is off to anyone that spends all that time formulating the various branches!! I find myself now playing PBEM mostly, just so damn fun to play against a human, I have played the same scenario 2-3 times against different guys, and it's always different, how cool is that?!



scottintacoma -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/29/2016 3:16:12 AM)

The thing I like about the DCGs is Randomness, and the oppertunity to setup my forces that start on the map the way I want to set them up.



Jason Petho -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/29/2016 5:16:31 AM)

So, would you prefer an LCG that would allow you time to sort out the forces the way you would like them instead of jumping into battle straight away?



scottintacoma -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/29/2016 12:22:03 PM)

I would like them better if there was a setup phase similar to the DCGs.



Jason Petho -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/29/2016 1:43:01 PM)

Fair enough. Alas, I don't think that will be possible with LCG's. Who knows though!



76mm -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/29/2016 8:34:05 PM)

Next time I suggest including "hot-seat-vs-self" rather than lumping it into human vs human....

I wouldn't have guessed that!





Jason Petho -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (6/29/2016 11:19:15 PM)

If anything, this poll is showing the importance of maintaining HAL and its abilities.

I do a lot of this at times, too [:)] Especially when testing the early versions of any scenarios I am creating. Also my favourite mode for playing the "Ode To..." scenarios. I guess I played (and still play) solo boardgame sessions, so this feels very natural way to play as well.

Yes it does! [&o]



carll11 -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (7/14/2016 7:44:55 PM)

All vs. AI ( bigger, the better). I don't use the battle generator other than to create a map,I then modify for myself( inho the generator is Way to 'random' to play the scenarios it creates) so I don't play HAL via that medium.



zoikkis -> RE: Do you play against HAL or Humans? (9/20/2016 11:51:11 AM)

Always versus AI. When planning to buy a new tactical wargame I always look first for the reviews talking about the AI abilities.
