Heroes of Normandie - Solo mode components and set up

[@mooregaminglounge5170]

Getting ready to solo thru all of my scenario expansions, starting with Bloody Omaha, and needed a refresher on the solo rules. Your excellent videos are the obvious choice. Thank you for making them.

[@andrewchoong2895]

My pleasure, and thanks very much! I'm really glad you found them useful. Have a great time storming the US beaches! :)

[@chadcotter5689]

Been waiting for a solo play through!

[@andrewchoong2895]

Happy to oblige, and hope it's of use :)

Hi Andrew, I recently discovered your excellent channel. I have a deep love of Heroes of Normandie and the larger system including Black Reach and you are the first to fully explain the solo system. I now feel I, at last understand the mechanics and I'm raring to go. Many, many thanks and keep up the good work. Regards Nigel

[@andrewchoong2895]

Hi Nigel, thanks very much for your kind comments. I'm really glad you're enjoying the channel and that you found this one useful. Heroes of Normandie is an excellent system and I can't wait for Heroes of the Pacific to appear. I really liked playing Heroes of Black Reach too, it's just a pity they were never able to develop an Imperial Guard expansion for that one. Hope you're enjoying the Solo system, and happy gaming :) All Best, Andrew

I've been searching for an explanation of the solo mode and this video tutorial has been great! Thanks so much!

[@philiphale2785]

Wow, you have simplified the set up superbly, thank you for sharing

[@andrewchoong2895]

Thanks very much, and my pleasure. Hope you're enjoying the solo system :)

Good to have you back Andrew, was wondering where you were just yesterday.

[@andrewchoong2895]

Thanks very much! It's good to be back. I tend to disappear in response to work and holiday upheavals, and completely step off the universe in February - just about every family birthday, anniversary etc I can list is crammed into that one month 🤣

[@mattclem6753]

Thankyou so much for this….made me get it out to the table

[@andrewchoong2895]

My pleasure, and really glad it was useful. Hope you're having fun with the solo system :)

[@josephtropiano8646]

Thank you. I am set up a ready to go.

[@andrewchoong2895]

My pleasure! Best of luck and good hunting :)

[@danacoleman4007]

Thanks for this. Well done!!!

[@andrewchoong2895]

My pleasure, really glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@BrianMarcus-nz7cs]

Very Good information, will have to get this, even though it won't work with shadows kitt ,,, X new year ☘️👍

[@andrewchoong2895]

Thanks Brian, and a very Happy New Year to you too, Sir! :)

[@trening4]

thanks for a good walkthrough of the solo system, I've been looking for this for a long time, I've played through the scenarios that come with red one, and I'm stuck with a lot of unclear rules. this helps

[@andrewchoong2895]

Thanks very much indeed! I'm really pleased you found the video useful. It took me a while to get my head around the rules too, and there are some that are open to interpretation. That said, the HoN community is wonderful and I find they're very supportive :)

[@stephenbean3618]

Excellent presentation - thank you for putting together - very helpful

[@andrewchoong2895]

Thanks very much! It was a pleasure and I'm really glad you found it useful :)

[@davidgraham4915]

What an excellent demonstration of the solo mode! That was really funny how we were all in your environment with watching this video! Your kitty made my dogs wonder where the cat was inside the house! (They might have been wondering how a kitty could hae entered the house without them knowing? ) :) I appreacite your discussion on all of the major aspects of the setting up of the solo mode, placement, and reinforcements of the AI units. That seems to be a big question on where/how to pull units for reinforcement. Keeping it simple, and playing for the AI's best interests are great reminders. Thank you so much for creating this and looking forwad to seeing the game play!

[@andrewchoong2895]

Thanks very much as always, David! really glad you enjoyed it and found it useful. I'm very amused to see that there seems to be a sub-community forming between all our pets! Oscar will have his own channel at this rate 🤣

[@ZoSoPage1977]

Your cat is Hungry lol!

[@andrewchoong2895]

He's always hungry 😂😂😂

[@VeeeeryyyFaaaastSlooooth]

Very well done, thanks for this.

[@andrewchoong2895]

My pleasure, and thanks very much for watching. Have fun with the solo system :)

[@maubunky1]

Excellent work as usual Andrew. I've never seen this game before, so it was very interesting to see the setup. Merry Christmas!

[@maubunky1]

Lol, I'm at the end of the video and finally just realized it was *your* cat meowing, not mine. :) Thanks to my higher end headphones coupled with your excellent sound quality I just spent the entire video pausing and going out of my office door to pet the cats to see what they wanted. I can see through my glass french doors of my office to the other room where the cats are sitting front and center at the window, fascinated by the first snow of the season, trying to paw the very large flakes through the glass...so I just assumed they were upset that they are not allowed to venture outside due to predators and/or getting lost. So funny! :)

[@andrewchoong2895]

Thanks very much! Heroes of Normandie is a great series to get into, although it's getting a little difficult to keep track of the zillions of expansions!🤣 A very Happy Christmas to you too! :)

[@andrewchoong2895]

@@maubunky1 😂😂😂 That's just brilliant! I try my best to keep Oscar at bay when I'm recording, but food, treats and the opportunity to roam outside only keep him busy for so long. I'm quite lucky in so far as he seems to like this game, so he'll walk carefully across it rather than tossing pieces off the table :) Hope you've had a nice (and non-too-disruptive) snowfall. We've had a fair amount here :)

[@HissyCat]

awesome video, sir.

[@andrewchoong2895]

Thanks very much, Sir! Glad you liked it :)

[@bartdevuyst]

Thanks for making these detailed videos of the HoN Solo Mode, these were surely missing on the internet so far! I love the playmat you are using underneath the terrain boards... What brand is it?

[@andrewchoong2895]

Thanks very much! I'm really glad you've found them useful. The playmat I use is from these good folks: playmats.eu/battle-mats/playmat-size/36-x-36-915cm-x-915cm/128-ocean-36-x-36.
