What’s the consensus on solo wargaming? With Battletech Aces I’ve considered trying to run a campaign or convert the rules to classic somehow. I know Killteam has co-op, but I’ve never tried it and idk if they have campaign mechanics. Are these rulesets ass? I want to be able to use my minis on those weeks I can’t meet with my friends.

I am being a fag by replying but having a solo wargaming thread with 0 replies and OP being left solo is hillarious in a meta sense.

I wouldn’t have even been mad if it archived that way, but now you’re here and it’s been ruined anon. You gotta share your thoughts at least.

Solo wargames are quite normal, though I mostly see them in historical themes.
Not sure about the BT Aces system or Kill Team.

Playing with toy soldiers has been around as long as toy soldiers, so yes it's very normal.
I've found the main limitation is whether you're able and willing to play "fairly" - I for one always end up favouring one side or the other. And while I don't tend to fudge rolls or cheat, making better decisions for one side than the other makes for a pretty uneven game. Best thing I've found is to just lean into it straight away and play "your dudes" against enemy forces with the latter having more dudes but acting semi-randomly.
Also the solo RPG thread gets some solo wargame discussion.
