Too bad it is a solo game ...

Solitaire games are a bit special, but my goal is to produce a game with a high replay value.

Pareil que Desaix, je suis intéressé par le thème mais déçu qu'il s'agisse d'un jeu solo.

Est-ce parce que la bataille est à ce point déséquilibrée ?

Merci Kim pour ta réponse

I believe the battle would be difficult to make into a two-player game simply because the Boer side didn't move much and their losses were ridiculously low. It was a giant ambush and playing the Boer side would be boring I fear. One way could be to construct the solitaire system in such a way that you feel that you try a certain strategy to see if that works, and if it doesn't that you then can play again and try another one.

This sounds simple enough but in order to work you have to have a mix of parameters in the system so that you can produce strategy A, B, C and so forth by mixing these parameters in different ways. This and the fact that the game has to be fast to play so that you have the time to test two game sessions in an evening, or a game session each, if you are two players. So that one can see who played the better game (you could also cooperate in the same game session).

It is a bit early to give any details, but I hope to achieve this.

Thank you Kim for your so detailed answer

So, would it be possible for two players to play the same (english) side ?

I don't know yet, but I like the idea. We shall see what we can do.
