A friends birthday is coming up and although he isnt very enthusiastic about 40k he's a major war history buff so I reckon I can rope him into tabletop games with a more historical game, so obviously landed on Achtung Panzer/bolt action (also selfishly because i've really wanted to get into it myself). Was doing a bit of research and decided to go with those tanks because apparently they're fairly evenly matched and we can play a little 1v1 Achtung Panzer over a few beers when we chill in his garden, then potentially move to bolt action if he likes it and wants to expand to infantry (if not then it'll just join the samurai above his desk I painted for him last year!).

I've heard its possible but Im just wondering how a 1v1 AP game would realistically work? Is it worth ommitting some rules/features of the game when you first dip your toe in? Just to make it a little smoother? I dont want to scare him away, he showed interest in Imperial Guard (40k) then I think it was the overwhelming rules which made him nope out of it so would rather keep it light and minimally taxing and perhaps introduce things in subsequent games.
