8. The Sedan Campaign, 1870. This is probably the single best wargame I can think of to recommend to complete beginners. It's not the best wargame out there, but the rules are about as simple as they get. And it's actually an interesting game with a fair amount of variable strategies.

Turnip28 is a a similarly fun and silly game set in a fantasy version of the Napoleonic Wars where mutant tubers have taken over. Rules are also free atm. Mantic Games just released Firefight second edition, and it's very good for beginners as well, another sci-fi game. No digital rulebooks yet, though, last I checked.

Too true. I remember when boardgames in a hobby store meant wargames (almost exclusively). The same stores that were stocked to the gills with Avalon Hill and Victory Games titles back in the 80s are almost entirely devoid of wargames now (except lighter fare like Memoir '44 and maybe Undaunted--Root, but I don't consider it as such).

What is the best introductory wargame? Numerous wargames cater to new players. Block games, in particular, tend to have far fewer rules and can introduce core wargame mechanics. Two I really enjoy are Sekigahara: The Unification of Japan and Hammer of the Scots. Both are games that can be played in around two to three hours and (most

Battle Academy or one of the "beer and pretzel" games - Panzer Corps, PC2, Unity of Command 2, Order of Battle. Each has their advantages, have decent user interfaces (which is a major wargame issue). Order of Battle allows you to play the initial mission of each DLC for free, so it has a kind of 'try before you buy' option.

Clean rules, tense game play, thematic, low counter density, good art and surprisingly historical. Horse and Musket. If you can play C&C Ancients, then you will probably love

May 23, 2018. Afrika Korps and Midway are good old AH titles that hold up as intro wargames. Midway has a bit more replay value but AK will teach more mechanics he will reuse a lot. Avoid Gettysburg are just not a good game design, and the bigger older games like Stalingrad, D-Day, or Battle of the Bulge.

Complex titles: there can only be one title at the top of the operational food chain and that is War in the East. Imho best war game so far on a vast and grand scale! Tactical: smaller scope, direct unit vs unit combat most important and a lot about how to counter what. Good starting point: Panzer Corps or Order of Battle.
