Not ACW I know, but a game I do own that is on an interesting subject and has a small footprint. There is also a Vassal mod for it.

Good news on this one. Wargame Vault had the print and play version for $12. It looked interesting enough to me to go ahead and get it. In fact, I think this will be featured in an upcoming video. And since I have the PnP version now it will be even easier to make a good TTS version.  8)

Mike, if you do print it all, I recommend these very nice OOB mats.

Dude, if you're asking:

Hunt For Red October
A Line in the Sand
Red Storm Rising

A double-game of 1 and 3 would be awesome.

And a full-player game of 2 would be truly crazy.

BUILT for SNF, et al.

Solo play more limited.  Which is to say non-existent.

Oh no, as I said before I'm not looking for solo only games. In fact, I prefer non-solo games for solo gaming. Let that one ring around in your head for bit.  :D

HFRO is on TTS, but RSR is not.

I still want to get my hands on a copy of RSR but the guy that was going to send it to me decided not to do any shipping with COVID-19 around. Can't say I blame him, but...so close!

Regrettably, HFRO was broken ages ago and has never been repair.  Should never have done all the scripting, frankly.

That's a shame. I just added it.  :D

It's a 2-player game with hidden info anyway; wouldn't make a good solo-only game, unless you were showing people how to play it of course.

^ Agreed. The one time I actually played that game (my copy that I bought at Waldenbooks and can't say if I still have it or not), I played it with four or five buddies, back in the early 90s. It was a LOT of fun, especially that Diplomatic Pouch.

All three are nearly stacked together, with nothing else on them, in a special spot on a shelf.

Yeah, we played the full Monty of 7 players and the Diplo pouch. And we all got into character of the nations we were running. Half the fun was reading all the notes in the pouch after the game ended!

 :ROFL:

Last time I saw the game, not too long ago, I noted all of our notes from that game were still in the box. It was fun reading through those again.

Hey Bob, I was able to import the graphics and counters into TTS pretty fast. It's so much easier when there's an existing Vassal module and/or a PnP version. It would be even faster if the publisher provided the original artwork. Anyway, here's a sneak peak at the first draft:

War Room!  (We should get a 6-player game of that going for SNF.  Would take a few sessions to finish though)
