Solo Bots or Two-Handed? Pick Your Opponent! When you sit down to play a wargame solo, do you let a bot run the opposition, or take command of both sides? This week on the Zone Of Control Podcast, we’re talking solo wargaming from the perspective of more than 40 years in the hobby. We’ll discuss the freedom of playing two-handed, the challenge of giving both sides a fair shot, and what makes a solo system worth the effort. We’ll also get into card draws, chit pulls, random events, and the mechanics that keep us guessing. I’ll share what I enjoy about RAF and its card-driven take on the Battle of Britain, and we’ll tackle a familiar frustration. When does running the bot start feeling like a second job? Join the conversation and tell us how you play. What’s your favorite solo wargame? Do you prefer a dedicated solo system, or are you happy switching sides of the table? And be honest, do you ever catch yourself rooting for one army? Subscribe to Cardboard Commander, give the video a thumbs up, and leave your thoughts in the comments. There’s always room for another wargamer at the table! 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Welcome back to Hexed and Countered! In this video, Joe walks through Scenario 1 (Operation Perch) from Gateway to Falaise: Caen, Normandy 1944, published by VUCA Simulations. We play through the solitaire learning scenario from the German perspective, pushing toward Villers-Bocage against the British 7th Armoured Division. Along the way, we demonstrate core game mechanics including activation rolls, action point management, hasty attacks, combat multipliers, armor superiority, effectiveness checks, step losses, retreats, and command ranges. Should our next video be another hands-on gameplay playthrough of Scenario 2, or would you prefer a dedicated rules overview? Let us know in the comments below!
