Hi Carrick, thank you for watching and the kind words. I am glad you enjoyed the list. =)

Awesome! I think this is your best video yet. Really liked the flow and the amount of information you packed into 10 minutes. Makes me want to get and play all of these. Great stuff!

I actually have a playtest copy of the game and will be publishing a play thru video late December - mid January. You have designed another fantastic game!!

Bought the Battle for Ramadi following this video. Looking forward to giving it a go as my first solitaire war game.

The best beginner simplest game is Airborne in your pocket. All you need is a printer. Setup is very simple. It has 50 scenarios.

Hi Kosterix, is that a PnP game? Where would I find it?

Enjoyed watching this and the added music was not overpowering compared to your voice and the choice of music used was also complementary as well.

thanks, i wasn't 100% on the music, i think it was a tad too loud. thank you boss.

Despite being an obvious hardcore ASLer, I love science fiction. Do you have any recommendations for good scifi wargames, beginner or otherwise? Not sure I've seen you talk about them, or if you're into them.

Hey boss, I love sci-fi. I mostly game sci-fi with miniatures, but I grew up playing OGRE and G.E.V. Just remembering how much fun those are, I need to get copies. Both were from Steve Jackson Games and are Classics. There is also the Space Infantry Series from Lock n Load. I have an old copy and it’s a solitaire game. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/5206/ogre boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/66781/space-infantry

That's funny, I recently bought the GEV reprint on Amazon because I had some of those old microgames (pocketgames?) in the late 70s. All I could afford back then, like $4 I think. Space Infantry sounds interesting, I'll take a look. Thanks.@@HissyCat

Space Empires 4x. Great wargame! Plays up to 4. Rules are well written and not complex. Designer streamlined a lot of fiddly stuff out of the game yet still captures the feel of space exploration / conquest. Good implementation of fog of war. Combat uses d10's, roll target number or less. Good tech tree. Clean economy rules. Plays in around 4-5 hours, depending on scenario. Some co-op and solo play as well. The Doomsday Machine scenario is a great way to teach new players the rules as it's everyone vs. the doomday machines invading the board. Can't recommend this game enough!

@@Fettigator Funny my first one was Pandemic Fall of Rome. I had gotten it for my grandson and after reading the reviews and knowing it could be played solo I ordered two copies. From there I was hooked. I took a deep dive and my second title along the same era was The wars of Marcus Aurelius from Hollandspiele. There was no looking back after!
