Way of the Warrior (2002)

A chart based solitaire game.

"The Way of the Warrior (WotW) is a solo system to simulate small tactical war operations. Is not aimed at a specific period: the base version of the rules is set on WWII but is quite easy to introduce new periods/themes."

"Campaign Setup. Select one of the available nationalities for your units if this is the first mission: German, US, Russian, Italian and Finland are available for the WWII. Select one theater of the operations in the [Theater of Operations] Table where your nationality is present and use the other nationality specified in the in the table for the enemy forces."

"The basic flow of the game is the following:
- Mission briefing: determine the objectives of the mission
- Equipment: choose your team
- Mission:
- Event determination
- Encounter phase
- Advance to next zone
- Post-mission debriefing: experience gain"
