Day 1 - Dos de Mayo from Edigrafica games
Based on an attempted uprising in Madrid under French occupation, this abstracted game pits mobs of Spanish against the occupiers
It is an asymmetric wargame in effect

Day 3 - Five Parsecs from Home
Ok, you quite likely know this one already, but it's one of the best solo experiences on the market with lots of cool supplements.

Day 2 - "Apocalypse" by Games Workshop 1980, based on The Warlord by Mike Hayes
A game of expansion, nuclear brinkmanship, bluffing and world ending chain reactions
Simple, effective & a challenge

Day 4 - Warhammer Fantasy Battle 3rd edition
My first ever minis games was WFB 1st ed (although we mostly used strips of cardboard with biro on them for troops instead), but this is my favourite version. Has all the armies in a single book.

Day 5 - Black Death Walking
A medieval zombie apocalypse wargame with a strong narrative. Metal as fuck.

Day 1 - Outlaws of Sherwood
Absolutely fantastic game. Light hearted and fun, with light roleplaying elements. Dishonourable bands get extra points for stealing ice cream from children. ("both villainous and anachronistic!").

Day 4 Midgard Heroic Battles
I was going to hit this later, but @toofatlardies.bsky.social have it up for preorder
A clean mass battle for ancients & fantasy field battles, where armies lose if the leaders can't hold their army together
Much fun

Day 7 - A Very British Civil War
Possibly the best alt history wargame ever. Send the Liverpool Free State to crush the forces of the Edwardians.

20 days of wargames with a focus on the smaller publishers. I'm only going to do minis games, but do board wargames if you want. I'm not your (hot) dad.

Day 2 -Turf War: Gangland Violence During Prohibition
Great gangster skirmish game with a strong narrative focus. Strong campaign focus and their turf rules are probably the best I've seen; simple but exciting.

Day 6 - Little Wars
Interestingly, HG Wells was a pacifist and his view was that if people fought "little wars" perhaps they'd fight less of the big ones.
