Yes, I've played it solo several times & it's great fun. Its very quick & easy to set up an adventure & has the added bonus of being played on a small area with an easily achievable number of figures, so is ideal for people who want to dabble in a new period.
Its a shame that Jim felt he had to close his site down, but happily it's still alive & kicking elsewhere.
I'd recommend it to anyone into VSF/Darkest Africa etc.
