Alone in the Storm: Solo Play Expansion for War Storm Series

About this expansion

Alone in the Storm: Solo Play Expansion for War Storm Series is a 2018 expansion for 1–2 players, with games lasting about 120 minutes. It adds solitaire and semi-cooperative modes to War Storm Series games while preserving their main rules and core concepts.

In solitaire play, you command your side while an artificial intelligence manages the non-player forces. The system is designed to reflect the series’ command hierarchy, handling formations of combatant units led by officers through several levels of management.

A new headquarters phase supports the non-player side, while the player’s own turn remains close to the familiar War Storm Series sequence. This makes the expansion especially accessible to experienced players, while offering newcomers a new way to explore the series.

Fog of war begins during setup. As the commanding officer on the headquarters planning map, you receive only selected intelligence reports. They may accurately indicate the enemy forces ahead—or conceal unexpected and unpleasant surprises.

• Solitaire mode: Play War Storm Series scenarios against managed non-player forces.
• Semi-cooperative mode: Play with a partner, with both sides supported by the expansion’s rules.
• Broad compatibility: Use the expansion with all War Storm Series games, including future titles.
• Scenario support: Play existing base-game scenarios, along with specific rules for point-based scenarios.

Alone in the Storm is designed as a flexible addition to the series, requiring no other additions beyond the chosen base game and this expansion. With battlefields waiting and uncertain intelligence shaping your plans, every command begins with the same question: are you ready for the storm?
