Solitaire Project

[artlax]

Reggie, you have inspired me to resurrect the teams that Nick and I had been using in our NDEFL league. His interest has waned lately (a 7th grader now) and my shortest trip to have a game in the BAM is one hour each way and I do want to get my game on more often than we meet so…

I am going to take the time to tweak up all the bases to get a good balance of strength and speed for each squad, organize offensive and defensive playbooks and play a solitaire game of the week. I will utilize a set number of defense schemes (3-4, 4-3, 6-2, 4-4, 5-2) and have some basic run and pass plays to work with based on a NFL coach style down and distance play sheet.

I foresee this as a great long term project for me in the hobby for all the reasons you have suggested and mainly: I will be involved in building the teams, developing the playbooks, getting plenty of practice in play and coaching situations and can play and work on it whenever I like.

The rule set – but I am considering trying out a different one from game to game to start with – just to get some different experiences. Weight will be whatever the figure and base combo is – no added weight.

I may use our old NDEFL site or the MFCA forum to post results and comments from time to time as you are.
