POCKET BATTLES: SOLITAIRE RULES

by Catafracto

I’ve tried playing solitaire several miniatures and board wargames, and Pocket Battles is
the most suitable for this. Just in case anyone is interested, here are the simple rules I
use:

1. Choose the size of battle

2. Select your troops

3. Form your units

4. Roll to see if you’re attacker or defender

5. Deploy all your units

6. All the enemy troops must be face-down. Start taking tiles, one for each sector (left
flank, center, right flank, right flank, center, left flank, left flank, center…) and at the same
time sum Deployment Points up. Stop when you reach the maximum or a few points more.

7. Arrange the enemy troops in each sector: form units and distribute them between the
front and the rear of that sector. Don't cheat and do the best you can!

8. Let the battle start! In your opponent’s turns, try to do your best. It’s very easy and the
game just goes OK, at least for me. In fact, I have so much fun playing solitaire as with a
partner.
