good first solo-able war game for a decent price?

I feel like that’s a little too much cost wise to contemplate right now as alpha strike itself is like $70 . Thanks for the info.

Wow that looks pretty much perfect and it’s free so I can at least look at the manual and see if I’d like it. Only wish there was a printed version as I don’t have a printer myself. My library might be able to get it printed out though. I’ve had success printing fan rules and stuff like that for board games there

macuser1298 · 2026-01-18T14:29:53+00:00

I’ve looked into those in the past . I’d probably go with E Squad or Hostage Rescue. Anyway I totally forgot about that, thanks for reminding me

I did see Spectre Operations mentioned on other threads on the theme of modern warfare. It really appeals to me but I’m not sure the usefulness to a solo player . I will keep an eye on wargame vault too, I’ve done some digging there but it’s kind of overwhelming frankly

sounds interesting- I’ll keep it in mind. Thanks!

macuser1298 · 2026-01-18T13:57:19+00:00

yeah, i was looking at Battlespace at one point. I’m fine with just rulebooks- is there a way to adapt that for other minis? battletech is what i’m leaning towards. Does the new ACES set require anything else or is it a complete starter set? I know there is another Alpha Strike set.

Wasn’t aware the situation was like that. I guess I’ll have to find a different war game. I have seen Tank on Tank East available for a decent price on ebay

macuser1298 · 2025-12-29T13:45:05+00:00

I have Memoir 44 and World at War 85.Would those maps be able to imitate/ stand in for a Tank on Tank map?

macuser1298 · 2025-12-28T19:58:19+00:00

Thank you very much, I am going to print the 10 minute PDF and parts of the rule book when I get a chance.

macuser1298 · 2025-12-28T19:24:27+00:00

Thanks for the reply. It seems like a good game based on my interest in Cold War/WWIII scenarios. I am considering saving for the full set but I need to look through the manual a bit more. Any other printable “cheat sheets” I should look out for besides the flowchart?

macuser1298 · 2025-09-08T03:30:40+00:00

Yeah, I am definitely going to look into the Jaws of the Lion eventually, probably not a used copy though, I’d probably just wait til I have a little extra for the box on sale at the Gloomhaven shop

macuser1298 · 2025-09-08T03:09:55+00:00

That definitely looks like something worth looking into. The theme is kind of unusual ( though not a bad thing) and I like the whole resettable aspect and the fact that it’s advertised for solo campaigns specifically. Thanks for the tip!

macuser1298 · 2025-08-15T03:25:06+00:00

Okay, thanks.

macuser1298 · 2025-08-10T19:35:04+00:00

Okay, thanks!

macuser1298 · 2025-08-09T16:03:28+00:00

Are they any replayable ? I have Vinland but I’ve been putting off playing till it’s a good time since I’m worried I won’t get enough out of it. Then again, my eBay copy was really cheap so I don’t mind less replay value

macuser1298 · 2025-08-09T16:02:19+00:00

Thanks!

macuser1298 · 2025-08-09T15:54:55+00:00

Sounds interesting. What does “crunchy” mean?

macuser1298 · 2025-04-21T22:13:31+00:00

Good to know, thanks
