I have read at various places that TOI is good for solitaire play. For those of you who play solo, do you play both sides or are there mechanics for solitaire scenarios?

There are no mechanics for soitaire play.

Every now and then I read the solitaire rules for ASL, but until now I have failed to adapt them to ToI.

Hmm, there is at least one scenario in the scenario collection of FFG 's TOI site which is designated to solitaire play. It is called Sweep and Clear by Shane Meehan. I haven't tried it yet but plan to do so in the next days.

I would also like to see some mode for solitaire play without needing to play both sides which seems quite unfun to me.

Some Commandos-like scenarios would be fine. Maybe there are some rules out there which can be adapted? ASL? Others?

Blumax, i only play solitare[ Kind of a frickin' hermit am I} and TOI is great for solitare play. Have you ever played A&A D-DAY? That is a great beer and pretzels game for solitare. You play it as an overseer, so to speak, an observer and it plays beautifully solitare. TOI can too, but...It is a little more difficult to be impartial playing TOI as A&A D-Day as A&A D-Day is card organized and has less strategy and tactics as TOI. Takes some getting used to, but it is a great game.
