What sci-fi skirmish rules are ideal for solo / coop gaming? Rather than equal forces / technologies, I am thinking about 10-12 player controlled, hi-tech, vs hordes of aggressive aliens, monsters, low-tech humanoids. I am looking about rules that are simple ("beer and pretzel"), and possibly with specific solo rules / guidelines and interesting scenarios. Can you advice me, thank you. |

Look at the Two Hour Wargames 5150 rules series. There are several variants depending on the size of force you wish to play. Star Army, Star Marine, Platoon Commander and Battalion Commander not to mention the latest version Bugs:Into the Tunnels. They also have rules for armor and mechs. The rules are designed with solo and cooperative play in mind. There are rules for campaigns and mission generation. Take a look at the website and the THW blog has several examples of play. I've been a fan of the 5150 rules through several versions. |

Two hour wargames are my go to set for solo/co op games. Having said that they are a bit of a leap of faith if you're used to igougo turn sequences. if your interest has bčn piqued you might want to try the free versions of chain reaction and/or 2d6 sci fi link Although skirmish orientated the mechanics are broadly similar to the bigger scale offerings in the 5150 series at the end of the day it's whatever rules that suit your playing style that count. Have fun with whatever you choose |

The U.S.E.M.E. system rulebooks from Alternative Armies is good for solo games.
