Ever since covid there has been a lot of ‘solo rules’ for skirmish games which I think is primarily motivated by the company making solo rules trying to stay afloat during difficult times.

The more board game adjacent games are to lure in younger players that take one look at a 300 page rule book for a wargame and feel light headed. I think that’s why more games are using apps too… because younger generation prefer apps to computers and searchable online source instead of hefty rules tome.

Smaller skirmish games seem to be directed towards shorter attention spans and perhaps towards the shorter amount of time we have available for gaming.

Painting virtual 3D models is not for me, but if Bolt Action computer game is good then I’m willing to play that. I just hope it’s better than the terrible GW adaptions of some of their skirmish games.

As to where it ends… that’s simple… it ends in a retirement home for old gamers who sit around in their armchairs complaining about how it was better in ‘the good old days’.

Or is that what these forums are? A place for gamers to sit around grumbling about the ‘good old days’! Is this our retirement home?
