Hey, cool to see that some players have actually printed the solitaire module and enjoyed it!

it shouls also probably be offered in a future issue of the GMT C3i game magazine on eof these days.

BTW I took the "Solitaire switch sides" idea from this old solitaire/2-player title: Peloponnesian War

I hope so!

Do note that I am revisiting a few rules with the help of a dozen fans of the game and will make available very soon a "GMT Living Rules" Rules & Scenarios booklets for free download.

No video is visible. I have looked at this page via Chrome and IE and iphone.
Suggestions on how to access please.

Luke
p.s. I see similar comments about no video at your Board Game Home Movies link.
p.p.s. came back 45 minutes later now it's visible. Ah the mysteries of life.

I'm not sure if you are aware Warren, but you can also post this as a video using the Outside the Scope of BGG forum. You'll see many other vids there. That way it'll show up in the videos forum as well as here. I only make that reccomendation because I really think this was a fantastic video, and I could have missed it because I don't check the blog section of BGG as much as the video section. This was a great video and I am now kicking myself as I had the chance to pick up Mage Knight at a good price but thought I'd wait. I now think that was a mistake.

Top notch stuff matethumbsup.

Cool! I wasn't totally sure about how that worked, so thanks for the tip (and for including the link!!)

Always an honor to have you in the audience, James

Really enjoyed this video, Warren. I've been interested in Mage Knight for a while, and it was nice to see some good closeup, in focus pictures of the components.

Wow, I don't know I can get the solitaire version for free from VPG site if I own the game. Do they need any proof? I thought the rulebook says that C3i is going to have the solitaire version and the counters are for that. I didn't relate that they could have been used earlier by the free download of No Retreat! Solitaire directly from the site.

By the way, thanks for the video! My interest in Mage Knight: Board Game definitely raises a lot!
