Hi

I am having issues trying to create a play that will setup a Windows EC2 
instance and then install software once it is up. For linux instances I do 
the following to create a new instance on the localhost and then run the 
other roles on the new instance once it is ready.

---
- name: create new aws ec2 instance
  hosts: localhost
  become: False
  vars_files:
    - group_vars/tag_Application_alfred-linux.yml
    - group_vars/tag_Environment_dev.yml
  roles:
    - common/aws-create-instance


- name: setup newly created instances
  hosts: "{{ hostvars['localhost']['new_ec2_hosts_string'] }}"
  roles:
    - common/stash-user-setup
    - jdk/install-linux
    - maven/install-linux
    - alfred/linux-setup

When trying the same thing for my Windows hosts Ansible fails to run a play 
on the localhost with the following error.

(py27)[appuser@jdbrd2 treasury-ansible]$ ansible-playbook test.yml --ask-
vault-pass
Vault password:


PLAY [localhost] 
***************************************************************

PLAY RECAP

I believe it is because one of the vars_files that are being pulled in 
contains the following variables;
# Ansible Connection details
ansible_user: User@domain
ansible_password: "{{ vault_alfred_windows_account_password }}"
ansible_port: 5986
ansible_connection: winrm
ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation: ignore
ansible_winrm_transport: ntlm

I cannot seem to override the ansible_connection: winrm to ssh or smart 
when running the root play. Does anyone know of a way to run a whole roles 
entirely on the localhost and overridin the ansible_connection: winrm just 
for that local host. I have tried the following;

   - Setting ansible_connection: smart in the host_vars/localhost.yml file
   - Setting connection: smart or ssh after defining hosts: localhost in 
   the root play
   - Setting the variable ansible_connecton: ssh or ansible_connection: 
   smart in the vars: section after pulling in the vars_files
