So apparently, the shutting down of El Paso airspace was because of
*checks notes*
A stray party balloon.
Which was shot down.

I'm doing up custom card decks for "Snorkers! (Good Oh!)", as you do. (Mainly because I keep getting confused about who's red & black.)
I'm making data cards for each ship class with a plan drawing & the game stats.
Think I can find any for British E & J class DDs?

Ready for action, wherever the front takes him. The @warfulcrumgames.bsky.social Great War figures have some wonderful poses, especially considering how hard it'd be for this poor corporal to signal with a mask on!

I'd assumed when it says "ready" a pin would appear to give my location so I could zoom in?

I don't understand the appeal of Trench Crusade.
Regular First World War is grim enough.

Gas masks still bloody terrify me.
This @warfulcrumgames.bsky.social British Corporal is dangerously close to finished, once I get the gunk on his base and a little grime around his boots. Not all of 1918 was trenches and mud, but it's still kind of iconic for the Great War!

S5 of #Fargo just knocked it out of the park.
I love the juxtapositions of silly & sinister, grand & banal, Shakespeare & suburban in all of "Fargo"
The end of S5 we have forgiveness, redemption, and a 500 yr old curse lifted with buttermilk biscuits and some "Minnesota Nice"
