With the latest UK lockdown in force, I have been playing (and filming) a lot of solo wargames as an example for people of how they can pass the time. My latest video is a solo Square Bashing AAR based on the 1918 Battle of Ors. Watch it here (and please subscribe!):

You are a legend. It looks so good.

Great video, reminds how functional the 4 x 4 grid systems are. I've only got the older version of SB, looks like I shall be investing in a newer edition.

Excellent! I keep thinking of trying this myself.

Thanks all, I am glad you all enjoyed the video. SB is an excellent game, so if anyone buys it off the back of this, then I've done my work!

Do more, Do more.

I watched and enjoyed that video.
Liked the squares too.
We often use a half base, with just a single MG figure on it when MGs take casualties.

Cheers guys. I am glad you enjoyed the video Martin, that's a good idea for the half base for the MGs, I may get a few soon and make up some half bases to keep the theme across my collection.

Also, I set up a board this evening ready for a 1 July 1916 game, the attack on Thiepval, Serre and Beaumont-Hamel. Video to follow...

Very good video. It's awakened my interest in SB again. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Thank you and best wishes,
