I am also seeking solo play rules, and would be interested in hearing what people have to say about this.
Off topic but what do you play? Any RPG's such as Cthulhu? I was under the impression that there is a large amount of suitable players in the Bradford area of that nature.
If not, then you could probely find something in Leeds, try Travelling Man and post an add, your sure to find something there, in the wargame field.
