Have a look at Victory Point Games (Boardgameguru is a good stockist). They do a lot of small solo games with the option for boxed or Ziplock versions. The Napoleonic 20 series is very good and the States of Siege series looks excellent too.

How essential is this? I ask because I have, in my loft, "Ambush!" and almost all (but one, I think) of the supplements, which could be yours if you are interested.

It’s the most important bit I’m afraid. Something to carry around while I’m working away from home. Thanks for the offer though!

Some interesting games there. The ones on AWI logistics seem like the sort of thing I need to own !

Plague Inc. is a great game and playable solo. Plus the box is slimline.

Go computer games. Tricorning with empire total war, or dominating the world with Civilisation VI are my favourite gotos.

Yes, I'd be very interested in a potential sale - I think only the main game has ever been played (can't recall if the counters were even punched on the supplements). Give me till the weekend to pop up into the loft and have a butcher's.

I've been playing a few non wargamey board games recently........some of them on-line on the Yucata site.

Great fun.........except I keep loosing.

It got me thinking that I'd like a simple wargame/board game/tactical or strategic hex based game.

Any suggestions? I'm not bothered about the period but it must be historical.
