Plus a nice lunch at Liberty Station with @djackthompson.bsky.social , @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social , and @zillablitz.bsky.social .

I love me a good (shorter) hex & counter game, too. ;-)

We play HotW at GamesByEmail.com. An unofficial version, I think. Have been played nine games in a couple months.

Thanks again, Jan. She just got married, so less inclined for a WG, but I get what you mean. She is working with the international student office. They’re some help.

Thanks, Jan. I meant finding a German apartment, then signing a contract as an American still in the USA…before going over there. All of the credit check, identity verification, and other docs asked for on ImmoScout24 are only possible when already living in Germany, with a German bank account.

Also liked seeing the accurate French uniforms (Chausseurs Alpins?)

That’s fair (about Narvik), though I thought it showed the horrible vise that civilians were caught in.

Now I’m looking forward to Konvoi and Krigsseileren (on Hulu and Netflix, respectively).

Yes! Volko, what did you think of the ending, or the young mother’s entire plotline?

This is a good companion film. Streaming on Prime.

It’s fantastic. Especially if you’ve got both wargame and roleplaying roots. (Or at least interest.)
