Yes - I’m looking forward to these immensely. Frank is a thoughtful designer coming to shake things up.

Downer ending for too many people?

What historians are you recommending?

From your previous post you seem to suggest US institutions were responsible for the advent or rise of Nazism. Am I following you correctly? Who do you think should have been prosecuted?

Here’s hoping…

What you said gave the strong impression to me that you thought the trials were not worth conducting. I feel, as imperfect as they were, they were better than nothing.

Better than short-cutting to executions, though, no?

Excellent - thank you - I agree with you about the wrong decision taken. It was my least favourite part of the movie, and didn’t even feel that satisfying in the moment. I enjoyed your notes on the historical background too.

I entirely agree.

Yes. I largely agree. I like it as an introductory ‘story game’ and will introduce my kids to it, but I’m not a huge fan of it.

French and English. Not sure if there will be other languages too.

We do. (And thank you for doing that.) It’s for 2 players. Although in Part Two (the kinetic coup attempt) Wes also has a solo mode in mind. I’m not sure about doing that in Part One.
