for helping me make this game actually good, Chechu and Robert for making it look awesome, and
@gmtgames.bsky.social

Seeing the responses to the boardgame recommendations piece
@senetmagazine.bsky.social
curated for
@theguardian.com
is so gratifying. Loads of people going 'wait... this list is actually good?' There's such a demand for quality mainstream boardgame coverage & I hope editors take note.

Talking about the “clean Wehrmacht myth”, this text from a recently released game is a fairly good example. I’m sure the Soviet authorities weren’t specially kind to the population, but they seem to have forgotten to mention some minor details about the Nazis in Russia.
