@Marky_X_ Ended up playing Tapestry and Everdell tonight. Looking forward to some more Norman Conquests: Men of Iron V solo this weekend, though!

@Clint_Davey1 Love hearing about your decisions on making the game. Sometimes smaller maps = a tight, challenging game experience!

My game One Hour Napoleon is on Kickstarter now. When designing this game I was trying to cram the Napoleonic Wars, 1805 to 1815, into a one hour game. This meant being ruthless with the size of the map. I cut it down to the absolute bare minimum number of spaces to still represent the key decisions of these wars. I eventually settled on 23 spaces, including land and sea. I'm happy with how it turned out. The major campaigns from the time can still be played out at strategic level. To give a further idea of the scale - the entire French army is represented as 10 pieces. 3 to 5 of them in one space would constitute the Grande Armee in something like the Russian campaign. 1 to 3 of them will often be tied up in the Peninsula. Others will be scattered around as garrisons or fighting in secondary theatres like Italy. When cutting game time is a priority you have to be ruthless! Have a look at the game here: kickstarter.com/projects/10404…

Looking for a "Coin inspired" game but much lighter and easier ? Go and try Saigon 75 by @Nutspublishing. Asymetrical game which perfectly reflects the balance between SV and NV forces at the time. Great as intro game for beginners in our hobby. #wargames @playersaidblog

Many wargames are soloable by playing both sides, and a lot of people enjoy that. I'm coming to enjoy that more myself. However, games like Enemy Action: Ardennes come with a solo system to operate, and sometimes they are really good. @compassgamesllc tinyurl.com/2shu596d

@_mindlessramble @gmtgames I feel like that's a pretty common approach! Do you go with the first few in the book, or actively choose based on interest which ones to play?

@Marky_X_ Brass: Birmingham, obviously, since why not start with the best of the best? In all seriousness, if 1v1 I'd grab something like Star Wars: The Battles of Hoth/Commands & Colors: Ancients/Memoir '44. For more players, I'd go Cascadia or Azul. Or Forest Sky.

The Kickstarter for One Hour Napoleon is live! This is the sequel to my game One Hour WW2. Play the entire Napoleonic Wars, 1805-1815, in an hour with 2 to 5 players. Worthington is also launching three other Napoleonic games in the same Kickstarter. Have a look here: kickstarter.com/projects/10404…
