I would really like to get into wargaming. But, none of my friends have the patience and I really don't think many of them have the intelligence for it. I hate to say it...but it took me ages to explain chess to my class.

There are wargames today designed for solo play. I just got one. GMT games published ''The Hunters" which is a WW2 U-Boat game. You are captain and sail one boat on missions. You have die roll generated missions, hits, damage, crew casualties, special missions, the lot. It plays fast and costs about $40 at their site. You won't see it in stores for a while as it is new.

Other similar solo games: Steel Wolves (U-Boat Operational), Silent War (same treatment for US Pacific sub war.) Many others.
