Interested in wargames - Recommend me one

Tactical wargames are not usually the place to start for beginners. He can try the ASL route later. If I was going to do that I would also talk Combat Commander which plays well solo.

CoH are publishing a solo AI expansion for AtB.

I agree, and if you do decide to go tactical anyway I'd go with Valor & Victory because you can print the pieces on the cheap and play the simplified rule set. About $10 to give it a try and it's completely soloable. Also available on Vassal at no charge.

For $20 you can pick up What Price Glory? out of Special Ops magazine which has solid wargame principles and play and is relatively small and inexpensive.

D-Day at Omaha Beach and D-Day at Tarawa are both great solo wargames and D-Day at Peleliu will likely join their ranks when it is released.
