Necromancer: Rules for solitaire play?

Aeschylus · 02-02-2020, 03:10 PM

Hi,

I recently got my Pocket Box Kickstarter rewards. Unlike some (possibly most) here, I wasn't around when these games first came out; for me, they're a new thing with a retro style, not a piece of genuine nostalgia.

So what I'm missing may be common knowledge in the wargaming community, but please be patient with me.

The Kickstarter page listed many of these games as being playable with 1-2 players. I was expecting something like in Ogre (or indeed most current games with solo or co-op play), where there's a section in the rules for controlling enemy units. However, looking through my Necromancer rulebook, I don't see any such rules.

Am I missing something? Is there some externally available supplement that includes this?

This question may also apply to Battlesuit and Car Wars (the other two Pocket Box games I ordered), although I haven't looked completely through their rulebooks yet.

TIA to any who can help me!
