Re: (TFT) Solo-Playing the Opposition in Melee / Wizard

[Joey Beutel <mejobo@comcast.net>]

I've considered using Two Hour Wargames (specifically Swordplay)'s  
reaction system for NPCs in many games... doesn't take that much  
modifying, actually. Not sure if it would work out great, though, as  
that game is about one scale larger than TFT (TFT is 5 v5. Swordplay  
is more like 20 v 20.)

You can get that for free and give it a shot.
