Hello, Are there any additional rules that would allow Fullthrust to be played solo? The plotted movement system would need to be changed, but to what… Thanks |

Random movement – all-stop, slow, medium, fast speeds. Left, right, straight ahead, reverse. Tactical targeting: every ship for him or her self – fire randomly, concentrate on the big ships, or small or medium ships, etc.. Run away to fight another day. Rig for collision. |

I have played solo just by plotting manoeuvre two moves ahead. ie at game start plot move 1 and 2, then after move 1, plot move 3 etc. Chit/ card draw to determine shoot order. Still not as satisfying as playing against an opponent but I have had some interesting outcomes. I always play using vector movement, so enemy location is more predictable than cinematic movement anyway. |

Star Fleet Battles had a solo (I believe they called it "Robot") rule-set somewhere buried in the rules. It might serve as a good basis. |

Try Star Navy by Two Hour Wargames. It is designed for solo play. You could use its reaction mechanics with the Fullthrust combat resolution & ship designs. JPK |
