Thank you; that was an interesting read.
Especially with the many and diverse lock-downs all over the world, I imagine solo play has never been more popular.
I must admit that I'm in this hobby mostly for the modeling and painting; the gaming aspect is mostly the justification for my antics, although I do enjoy the occasional game (in fact, my regular opponent and me used to have a weekly miniature game previously).
So solo play has never been on my radar much. But recently, I've come to realize that I do sort of miss those weekly games every now and then, so for the first time, solo gaming options are looking more appealing to me.
I especially like your argument that we think nothing of gaming on the PC or console alone, but solo miniature gaming has an atmosphere of a bit of awkwardness to it (well, at least in my case; YMMV). And now I've come to think; why not? I mean; we have all those nice tables, terrain pieces and miniatures, so why not use them for their intended purpose, right?
That Blood in Space rules set looks especially appealing btw...
