These two genres are taking off with amazing speed. I've always enjoyed making PnP games, more for the processes involved and the joy of creating something useful. A very zen process. They also make great gifts to wargaming friends. Have a couple of Mike's books (Lone Sherman and Pacific Sherman) and they are perfect for a quick and dirty solo game session. I also PnP those for the joy of it, not that you really need to. 6mm miniatures are perfect to add a bit of class and save making the counters (for the vehicles at least).

Thank you for the great video. I just purchased Mike Lambo's Rifle Squad, British Home Guard PnP from Wargame Vault. You comments were very timely.

This was a fascinating video. I was recently inspired to create my own hex and counter war game using Table Top Simulator - it allows you to create all of your counters maps and pieces without having to print out and cut out all components by hand. I’ve been play testing and refining it to make it feel just right. I love your work! Keep it up.

Cereal box cardboard works great for mounting Mike Lambo game counters.

Bought the napoleonics battles from mike lambo a few months ago after your recomendation. Very cool to play. Only sad thing about it is that i lose often.

I struggle cutting stuff out. For the ASL System there are overlays that need cutting out for some scenarios and I don't bother unless someone else has already done it. Its the one thing I truly hate about a game that I spend hours playing. Other people have different opinions including those who think overlays add a lot to the game system. I wish I felt more positive about the joys of cutting stuff out my life would be better.

Lambos games are great!

I feel like I lack the imagination required for solo play. 😢

You really should give it a try. At least once. It really is pretty fun.

@ I tried and failed with The Hunters.

@@igycrctlWell The Hunters is definitely more of a narrative style of game with a few decisions to make. I’d suggest trying some of these in the video, especially Lone Sherman, and see what you think of that style instead.
