I had heard that is perfect for solo games. Just read a little bit of them and found them a little confuse. Some friends told that is just the first time you read them, because when you get used to them works REALLY good.... I would like to hear more about the rules

That's my experience with THW: the first time I read Chain Reaction I had *no* idea what was going on or what I was supposed to be doing / thinking / rolling...once you "get it"- and realise that it's NOT as complicated as you were making it, Ed's core system is top-notch  8)

RRTK is perfect for solo fantasy or historic games but it needs reading and making questions to the THW group IMHO. Here you can see my Pendraken Roman army exterminating some GW Orcs, LOL

The rules are fine with basics units and special abilities. The good thing with Two Hour Wargames rules is the reaction table that tells you if the unit do what you want ("wanting tocharge" for exemple) or how it reacts to some situation ("received fire" for exemple). So you don't have total control of your army. After 2 games it is really smooth. You have fantasy rules too (magic, hero) and campaign rules. I would recommend it.
