The book contains a variety of information and ideas for solo wargaming from small scale skirmishes to large campaigns. Each scenario contains basic rules so that they are playable straight away without reference to another ruleset. However, the book also provides ideas that can be applied to whichever ruleset the reader prefers. From the back cover: "Solo wargaming is growing rapidly in popularity. In this book, Stuart Asquith, editor of Practical Wargamer magazine sets out the reasons for solo play and its attractions and advantages. The book covers all manners of actions from small-scale skirmishes through to campaigns, and the historical spread of the contents is extensive.
