In this rainy weather we are currently experiencing in California, I am really enjoying the boardgame: "RAF: The Battle of Britain 1940" by Decision Games.
I have had little experience with "solitaire" games. RAF contains two; a game for the RAF player and another for the Luftwaffe. It also has a two-player game. So you are getting three games in one. I have just tried out the RAF solitaire game "Lion" and find it is very enjoyable and highly playable. It really works as a true solitaire game.
How it does so is via a very sophisticated set of cards designed to simulate raid targets, dates and times, sizes and formations. Really thrilling and highly recommended!

As usual, Boardgame Geek has numerous useful aids, reviews and demonstrations of the system. I found the game through Geek, learned to play it and how to order it. What a service to the gaming community!
