"about solo wargaming" Topic

A long time ago I wrote an article about solo miniature wargames; back then the list of games barely reached five different titles.

Fortunately things have changed over the years, and many miniature wargames designed specifically for solo play have been published.

That post seemed very useful both for those just starting out in solo gaming and for those who had been playing for a while and discovered a new title.

That post deserved an update, and here it is, hoping it helps you or at least entertains you.

Of course, add in the comments section any solo miniature wargame I might have missed, whether through oversight or simply because I didn't know about it.

Tereydavi,
You certainly explained why I play solo; forthe story. Well stated. Thank you for the kind words about Platoon Forward. I have also written a supplement for asymmetrical warfare called Grunts Forward.
You didn't mention air or sea but I also have squadron forward for WW II air combat and Flotilla Forward for WW II small boat action.
Great list!

Thanks
Joe

The last thing I could have expected when writing this post was for the very author of Platoon Forward to comment on it!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment!

Platoon Forward deserved a special mention because honestly I think it's an exceptional book. I remember devouring it, looking at every mission and the possible variants, trying to figure out how the parameters were established for the possible changes.

A great book that deserves an exclusive comment just for itself.

I don't play air or naval theaters of operations, so I wasn't aware of the books you've written since then, but Grunts Forward interests me a lot, since I'm now very into asymmetric missions (mainly modern warfare).

Many thanks for your work, without a doubt a rule set of great quality!!!

Thank you for posting such a detailed amount of information in one spot. While I love Two Hour Wargames, alternative rule sets are always desirable.
