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

I've heard of these games.....They sound fun...

Money is the issue. That, and I really like board games I can play with friends on the odd blue moon when we want to.

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.

The "dumbing-down" of America is succeeding Red.

Axis and Allies is a great board game as well as chess. Good picks.

Just started reading the rules for Avalon Hill's Bismarck. Someone going by JW62 has made a Vassal module to play the old board game on the computer and against opponents online.
