WoW 2< players?
« on: November 08, 2009, 08:45:55 AM »
Hope this is the right board for this. I am hosting a games night at work and I'd like to know if anyone have experience of running  a game with six participants, three on each side? Is it doable or will it become a mess? Is a certain type of scenario more suitable?

Depends on your rule system.  I've ran games with 14 players before, which with our card based system is fine, however you definetly need a sober umpire to keep tabs with what is going on.

All limitations are self imposed.  Work hard and dream big.

If by "WoW" you are referring to "Wings of War", I´d say it is manageable, if the players have at least some basic knowledge of the rules. I consider the total number of planes involved to be a critical factor, rather than the number of players; if every player only controls two planes max, I think it should work out. Although it would cause quite a "Flying Circus", I guess.

Yes, Wings of War. Better put that in the Acronym post.Were you thinking of that to, Ignatieff? 14 seems like a lot.

We played WoW 1 with 6-7 players and never had any problems, in fact it's great fun
