​@@ldrolandBattletech: A Game of Armored Combat uses the classic rules.

There is Battletech: Clan Invasion which expands the rules included to be Clan Invasion levels. There is a rulebook, Battletech: Total Warfare which includes all the 'standard' rules for classic Battletech, including aerospace, vehicles, and infantry, and it also includes rules for using classic Battletech rules on a miniature tabletop. Alpha Strike is different but still fun.

Solo and Narrative Co-op games, which can be played solo, are two great categories to review. Getting a game with others is not always possible and the soon to be dark, cold, and snowy months will soon be upon us, which makes it more difficult to find an opponent to play against. In the winter I would rather get my folding 4'x4' table out in the living room in front of the fire with an old movie playing in the background and the cat on the nearby chair as referee. The cat gets its own set of foam dice that I chuck along the floor that she loves to chase. I recently purchased "When Nightmares Come: An Investigative Wargame of Supernatural Horror (Osprey Wargames)" -- I plan to use some miniatures from some of my board games as proxies for the game. Specifically, Cthulhu Death May Die.

cat dice sounds like and excellent idea. And yes, the cold months can make it harder to get games in across town. You might like to try out D-Day Paratroopers: Behind the Atlantic Wall on WargameVault. It’s a solo skirmish miniatures game that takes place on the 6th June 1944 and it’s only $5. You play as a US Paratrooper landing in Normandy in the early hours and you have to destroy the guns overlooking Omaha and Utah beaches. To do that you must link up with more Paratroopers, gather intel on your whereabouts, potentially be able to get to your designated muster point all the while fighting your way through groups of procedurally generated enemy forces. Utilize the famous Cricket when you detect soldiers. Will the reply with a Cricket of their own, or does it immediately devolve into a firefight there and then? Play a campaign that takes you across Normandy to your Primary Objective while you fight enemy soldiers and their support weapons and vehicles such as staff cars, half-tracks and even tanks. Roll on random event tables to add variety to your games. You can find friendly paratroopers caught in trees, additional enemy combatants or even have an aircraft come crashing down to earth in a ball of fire. D-Day Paratroopers: Behind the Atlantic Wall is a miniatures agnostic game and while it is set in World War 2, you could take the rules and use them to fight across an alien planet or behind lines of renegades.

I've seen Cyberpunk RED: combat zone going for 89. I bought this game because the artwork caught my attention and so far, it is my game of the year. Not only a good starter set, it's the best introduction to war (skirmish) games. I was able to play this game with my son, wife and my friends that are usually not into wargaming and they had fun. My friend even sked me the other day to play again, that's a first! The way it is designed makes it easy to start playing. The only downside for me was that the models quality is not excellent comming from 40k/killteam. And if some people a not into building models, there is a new variation comming: edgerunners that will come with standees and should be even cheaper I guess(hope).

Worth mentioning about the Alpha Strike box: the minis are all usable for Classic BattleTech. Not only that, but two people splitting the Alpha Strike box will each have full armies. Honestly, you could probably split the AS box 3 ways and have playable Classic armies. Also, 2000 AD is still being published. This week they did a great 2-part arc in 2000 AD and their monthly Megazine and next week (and next month for the Megazine) is the start of an all new run.

I'm a massive advocate for Warhammer Underworlds (it's GW's best game by far), the 2023 starter has two competitive teams out of the box with a lot of potential for growth. It's $63, which is surprisingly cheap for the amount of potential you get. I'll also add, the game is a lot less "buy everything" since the new rule format. You can buy one or two supplements for $30-45, and it's just a really great game and I want everyone to play it.

I LOVE the Alpha Strike "starter" set and i'm floored that you never played the system! I am like you in that i dislike the hexes in Classic BattleTech and i don't care much for the crunch in it. Alpha Strike, while much simpler, is intended to be faster and more "scoped out" than classic. You tend to play with 7-10 models per side as opposed to 4 on 4 in Classic, and you aren't staring at charts upon charts most of the game. in fact, if you memorize the critical hit chart and how to calculate your target numbers, you don't need to really look at any charts while playing! That being said, i am very interested in that $45 Steel Rift set. That's a great price for a gift, too!

@@tabletopminions the game still works great at 4 on 4! I definitely started there when I first played and had a blast. I think the intro scenario in the AS box is a 2v4 and then the second scenario is a 5v8 using all 13 models. However, I think they add too much too fast for someone's second game, and I usually recommend ignoring the formation bonuses they tell you to use. That being said, once your more comfortable with the rules, your preference for smaller unit count will give you more headroom to add in interesting rules like formation bonuses and special command abilities to add more personality to each uniit. I like to say that while AS doesn't have much mech customization, you can customize the rules of the game itself instead. You can really tune it to the level of detail that you prefer. While I like to be competitive, the game shines in narrative/campaign play.

[@anthonywaggett9317]

TTCombat in the UK have 2 Starter sets (Technically a 2 player starter £65 and a 2 player Intro £35) which have minis, rules, tokens, dice, playmat, measuring sticks, 3d cardboard buildings and Parkour and Dagon, plus the 2 sets don't repeat any models but have the same 2 factions so can be used together. They also recently launched Half Tilt, a halfling jousting game with MDF terrain for around £45. I think these qualify for your under $100, depending on how stupid our respective governments get. The minis are all resin. This is the company that also makes Dropzone Commander (10mm sci-fi), Dropfleet Commander (space battles) and Rumbleslam (Fantasy wrestling) all of which I think come in on or around your $100 range.

Bonefields! It's a small set coming in at somewhere between like $70-$80 for some very quaint dwarf and goblin skeletons and necromancers and vampires. It's a small ruleset that lets you toss kind of whatever models you want at the game, but it gives you enough to play with right away in the two-player starter. It's a small skirmish game where you go about summoning your Skelly Bois to the field to duke it out, with a little bit of resource management to accommodate summoning or buffing. Perfect kind of game to throw some scatter terrain on a green flock mat and reminisce about the old days. Sold through Hayland Terrain. The models are metal pours that are likely hand-poured, but still great quality. Bonus, it'll give you some fun models for use in Deth Wizards.

[@WhatsUpGazpacho]

yeah that's tough. It can be hard to be able to get out of the house to get games in because they take SO MUCH energy You might like to try out D-Day Paratroopers: Behind the Atlantic Wall on WargameVault. It’s a solo skirmish miniatures game that takes place on the 6th June 1944 and it’s only $5. You play as a US Paratrooper landing in Normandy in the early hours and you have to destroy the guns overlooking Omaha and Utah beaches. To do that you must link up with more Paratroopers, gather intel on your whereabouts, potentially be able to get to your designated muster point all the while fighting your way through groups of procedurally generated enemy forces. Utilize the famous Cricket when you detect soldiers. Will the reply with a Cricket of their own, or does it immediately devolve into a firefight there and then? Play a campaign that takes you across Normandy to your Primary Objective while you fight enemy soldiers and their support weapons and vehicles such as staff cars, half-tracks and even tanks. Roll on random event tables to add variety to your games. You can find friendly paratroopers caught in trees, additional enemy combatants or even have an aircraft come crashing down to earth in a ball of fire. D-Day Paratroopers: Behind the Atlantic Wall is a miniatures agnostic game and while it is set in World War 2, you could take the rules and use them to fight across an alien planet or behind lines of renegades. The only limit is your imagination. PLUS additional settings will be added. D-Day Paratroopers: Behind the Atlantic Wall is in it’s ZEROth edition. When you make your purchase, you get to play the game right away and be the first to get an email when a new updated version releases. Check it out!

the mutant year zero starters are great , two different starters each have 2 factions rules, assembled minis and terrain for like 65

[@Kirik946]

Other great games with 2 player start sets under $100 I can recommend are moonstone and eldfall chronicles. Moonstone is a very charming fantasy skirmish game with a very unique combat system. Eldfall is also a fantasy skirmish game that plays a bit like infinity with reactions but with a limit on the number of reactions each model can do. It also has rules for Cooperative and solo modes

[@tomasburgos7017]

Solo SOLO solo SOLO!!! Plus loved the video. There are a couple of games that im really interested in like Steel Rift, and Relicblade. Keep the videos flowing!

[@trevorharvey6928]

Another vote for the solo games vid, always looking for more. Favourites so far include Frostgrave (with the perilous dark expansion) and Majestic 13 - though I need to play more of the latter. 😅

Carnevale's two starter sets are where it's at!

[@iampetewyse]

The Walking Dead: All Out War is a gold standard in starter sets in my mind. Obv depends if you like the zombie survival theme, but the starter set comes with everything you'll need. I do love these cheaper starter sets, seeing a LOT of very expensive starter sets that seem to miss the point. Would love to see the solo video!!

[@the_Mike_d]

Yes to solo play, please! That's a huge reason for me to pick up just about any 2 player starter box - the possibility to just play solo. I have so many of the ones you listed here, but generally they're usually a great deal - not just for more miniatures, but the scatter terrain bits. I've repurposed so many into my miniature agnostic skirmish titles...

Burrows and Badgers doesn't have a starter box set but Oathsworn miniatures has 2 different starter war bands for £22.50 each and the full book is £19.99. total £64.99 (or $86.58 US as of 2024-09-22). Their shipping is fast and very reasonable. My orders usually arrive in a week and I'm on the West coast of Canada. They're currently working on a second edition which, if I'm remembering correctly, will have a solo mode.

[@Bloodthirstier]

ArcWordle is also a fantasy game and the look is great. The creator has a myminifactory page too. The starter set is a free print and play and each starting warband is $50 in models. All the core rules are also available online for free.

Ttcombat Dropzone Commander 2 player starter set is about $60 USD. Comes with a ton of models, most are pretty easy assembly. Great 10mm scale game that plays on a 4x4 area.

I feel like I have every solo wargame I can think of, but definitely do a video on it in case I'm missing some!

You might like to try out D-Day Paratroopers: Behind the Atlantic Wall on WargameVault. It’s a solo skirmish miniatures game that takes place on the 6th June 1944 and it’s only $5. You play as a US Paratrooper landing in Normandy in the early hours and you have to destroy the guns overlooking Omaha and Utah beaches. To do that you must link up with more Paratroopers, gather intel on your whereabouts, potentially be able to get to your designated muster point all the while fighting your way through groups of procedurally generated enemy forces. Utilize the famous Cricket when you detect soldiers. Will the reply with a Cricket of their own, or does it immediately devolve into a firefight there and then? Play a campaign that takes you across Normandy to your Primary Objective while you fight enemy soldiers and their support weapons and vehicles such as staff cars, half-tracks and even tanks. Roll on random event tables to add variety to your games. You can find friendly paratroopers caught in trees, additional enemy combatants or even have an aircraft come crashing down to earth in a ball of fire. D-Day Paratroopers: Behind the Atlantic Wall is a miniatures agnostic game and while it is set in World War 2, you could take the rules and use them to fight across an alien planet or behind lines of renegades. The only limit is your imagination. PLUS additional settings will be added. D-Day Paratroopers: Behind the Atlantic Wall is in it’s ZEROth edition. When you make your purchase, you get to play the game right away and be the first to get an email when a new updated version releases. Check it out!

Kill team's starter set is a pretty good deal, you can find it for about 80 bucks now. You get two kill teams for krieg and orcs, some plastic terrain, kill team's barrier and marker stuff, dice, and some books. Only problem with it is that it's for the edition that's about to be replaced, so the books are useless, but it's not that bad since kill team's new rules are going to be free.

GW price increases are making KT a bit of a non-starter

thanks uncle for putting halo and fallout games under my radar, they look amazing i would recomend to all folks here who have miniatures but dont have rules for them, to try the 2000AD games from Warlord, they are more than a skirmish game because each set has a rulebook to create your unique characters and equip them, as follows Judge Dredd Set: allows you to create cyberpunk esque characters (which means you can use necromunda minis there), ABC WARRIORS: allows you to bring robots to fray and the one i like the most, Slaine Miniatures game: which is somesort of celtic hulk, allows you to use any fantasy medieval minis to skirmish, equip them and yes, i recomend you this one the most uncle adam

Bring on the solo games!

Forbidden psalm the last war from Warlord games. Shipping next week. 85$

[@elmothejunkie]

Quar looks so cool. I'm definitely gonna pick that up, maybe my son could dig it, since he loves the worms video games

[@terrencemiltner1005]

Great video. Nice to see Relicblade in there. I look forward to your thoughts when you try it. There is also Catacombs of Kural book for Solo/Co-Op that I am looking forward to getting started on.

Another nice thing about Alpha Strike is the time it takes to finish a game. Playing the base rules limits you to a lance at most if you want the game to end the same day. Alpha Strike rules you can play a company or larger within a day. It also makes playing combined arms (mechs, vehicles, and infantry) a lot faster as well.

[@AlexAshpool]

I was fully prepared to advocate for Battletech given they have 2 great boxes that meet this criteria - "A Game of Armored Combat" and "Alpha Strike." Very happy to see the Alpha Strike box included as it's an incredible value for a tabletop game. An excellent series to get into!

[@bassistcz]

There's also the Carnevale 2 player starter, that has an interesting setting in Venice.

TT Combat makes several great games but I specifically love Rumbleslam! The game is a lot of fun, fantasy wrestling with amazing models and the two player starter is only $45-ish whatever the conversion is from british pounds to dollars right now.
