France '14 Campaign Game Player

"Home before the leaves fall" with only two players ?

The mind reels. I'm sure it can be done, but would require substantial reserves of time and patience.

If I were going to attempt something like that (and I'm having enough trouble keeping up with the much, much smaller scenarios that I'm currently playing), I'd play it head to head solitaire. If you always start moving the different divisions on each side from opposite ends of the line, you'll have made so many decisions by the time you work your way back to where the other side's turn ended that you'll probably have forgotten what you ordered the other side to do.

I think this 'induced amnesia' effect would be more prominent if the map could be re-oriented in a different direction depending on which side you're playing. Whenever I play board games solitaire I usually turn the map around because that makes things look different enough that it's a little easier to surprise myself. Given that the maps are built hex by hex, I wonder if it would be possible to add this little (but labor intensive) enhancement. I always prefer to sit behind my lines when I'm planning an offensive (or a defense). The angle that you look at things from really can influence your analysis in subtle but significant ways.
History is a bad joke played by the living on the dead.
