I play quite a few WW2 land based games solo pretty easily, but I was wondering if there is a set of WW2 naval rules that can work for solo gaming? The little I've looked I've heard GQ isn't too bad. Thanks |

Battlestations Battlestations by Decision games would work, you can do small or large fights. |

I still like the old GQ1 and GQ2. GQ3 is another option, but a bit more complicated. Not overly so though. |

I would agree with all 4 suggestions (GQ1&2 – WW2&1 respectively) as well a GQ3 but that all depends on your preferred level of detail and speed of play desired. Battlestations Battlestations is probably the quickest/simplest but the trade off is detail. All four are in my opinion, darn good at handling a decent size battle. All four also would require the gamer to work up a set of random decision metrics for the OPFOR. |

If you give an email I can send you a few pages of an old captured system, not sure where (d Manley? Or and on Magweb)
With reactions and orders allowing for quite a bit of solo.
Then you can have a few cards with positions and deployment, even forces variations for your ennemy and it works, not as much fun as having a human, but.. |

Late to the party, but look at Minden Games. They have a number of Naval games, with two built for solo play. Gary Graber designs the games and they all are worth playing. |

There was an old game from Avalon Hill/Victory Games called Tokyo Express. You played the US Navy and the game randomly generated Japan forces. It wasn't bad |
