Way of the Warrior

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" This game was part of the Microgame Design Contest 2002.
