We started this discussion in another thread but I think it best to start anew.

When we think of hot seat we think of sitting in the same room playing on the same computer. Nowadays that isn't needed
with the programs out there.

I will introduce you to a very viable solution to be able to play against another human opponent in Tigers on the Hunt.

This gives us alot of the actually things needed and is quick and easy to do.

Watch the first ever video of Hot-Seat Play of Tigers on the Hunt.

So can the user who is not hosting use shortcuts etc? or is it just mouse controlled?

How do you erase whiteboard stuff?

I imagine a pretty seamless experience with a bit of practice and known opponents.

Not sure about the keyboard stuff you would have to look at the website to see for sure all the stuff you can do with it

You can turn the whiteboard stuff on or off... or you can use an eraser to remove stuff. its super cool feature. I like it alot

Yes I would think a super easy way to join and play with a human opponent. Seamless and Craig and I were setup and working
within 3 minutes. Very easy...

Pretty cool for the F2F gameplay feel of the SL/ASL boardgame.

BUT for me with bonus of computers, I would want the full FOG OF WAR effect and hidden movement when no Line Of Sight(no show of all forces to the other player).

Right on idjester. I'm curious to see what kind of performance players can get in sessions over a long distance.

If I remember correctly, TeamViewer also allows you to only share one window. This not only helps keep the rest of your system inaccessible to your opponent, but optimizes performance for the remote player.

Again, this is from memory; I used to use TeamViewer years ago, and haven't spent a lot of time poking around with it lately. There are several types of remote access programs around that players could use, so it might be worthwhile doing some experimenting.

I think performance would be just fine for a game like Tigers on the Hunt which isn't to graphic intense and the frames per second don't have to be super intense like a first person shooter.

We had no problem at all with this during our testing and it really worked seamless for us.

Hi idjester,
I was actually thinking more in terms of network performance, i.e. lag...but I guess you addressed that. So, I take it that your opponent didn't have any complaints in this regard? That would solve the one reservation that I still had about using this type of software to play with a remote opponent.

Great stuff idjester! :)

Ok I will acknowledge the originality and cleverness of the application of Team Viewer.

I use Team Viewer when my computer is fouled up or when my friend wants to show me something. Because there's nothing a tech guru likes more eh, than to have to explain a solution to a dim wit :) So yeah, he tells me to turn on Team Viewer and I just accept it's better than getting yelled at when I have no idea what he's trying to tell me.

That all said, when I say Hot Seat, I really DO mean you are here and I am here and the program is designed to handle your turn and then my turn. Perhaps the turn sequence makes this a bit messy even for hotseat.

But the question needs to be asked, does TotH have hotseat as it was used as a term 10 years ago?

The responses on my thread have me now wondering if I have somehow made a mistake in conclusion.

I don't have the game yet.

Hi MrsWargamer,
I don't know if you've watched the youtube link that idjester posted above, but it gives a pretty good overview of how a hot seat session between two opponents, sharing a single computer, is conducted.

We had NO problem at all with lag. The game is not graphic intense so the refresh rate is going to be just fine. You couldn't use this for a FPS game but with a board and counter game it works perfectly.

Yes, MrsWargamer I would say TOTH does indeed have hotseat play. Setup the game as human vs human if you are sitting on the same computer.

But as mentioned this format will work if your sitting on the same computer or if your playing partner is thousands of miles away. It would be exactly the same, you just need a mic and internet connection and its remote hotseat.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Out of curiosity, what was the approximate distance between you and and your opponent?

I live in Florida and my playing partner lives in Ohio... A distance of 1064.9 miles. We both have good computers and internet connection which of course will be important as well.

Thanks for that matter of fact reply.

Finances are preventing me from playing. But my old SL/ASL friend might be able to be an opponent through this Team Viewer notion, or I might be able to play an old friend who is a local that also likes board games as well as Battle Academy (he's just so impossible to get access to normally). So the game might be a viable purchase down the road.

I like the fact I might some day get to play a game that looks close enough to SL or ASL to be acceptable.
I sold my ASL mostly because a 5000 dollar collection is not worth much if never used.

Send PM to you so we can plan ahead of time. How about we schedule a live session for Thursday at 2pm EST. Will that work for you?
