As a GIS and cartography professional, I'd LOVE to see a "top 5 wargame maps" episode!!!

Added to the list of things to do! This will be on the backburner for a bit, though. But I have some ideas already. To be fair, it might have to be "top 5 wargaming maps... that I own". This will be fun to make, thinking already... :)

Oh man, what a cool idea to incorporate the audience! I won’t ask to be included, as I want to leave that for others. But I’m looking forward to the video. Thanks as always, my friend!

From what I've heard it should be fairly soon.

I've discovered only recently this channel and I'm amazed. Month ago I've purchased By stealth and sea and it was my first contact with war games (easy one:). Lanzerath ridge looks promising and I'm looking forward to get one copy. Hopefully it'll be available soon somewhere. Your videos are very informative with clear English I can understand well. Thank you and keep it up. 👍

Hi Christoffer! - It should get started this weekend, for sure. :) Unfortunately, the I&R platoon is filled to capacity at this point, but there will be other adventures to come. Thanks for offering though. :)

Welcome, all, and just a reminder that we're looking for 19 volunteers for the upcoming playthrough. The US Army Wants You! As I'm writing this, we've got about half our platoon filled, and it's first come first served to be fairest. Don't worry, you don't have to know anything about how to play the game, it's more that you'll appear in the videos as one of the I&R platoon soldiers. EDIT: All full! We have a full platoon of 19 volunteers now. Thank you to everyone who has jumped in to be a part! Here's the current list of volunteers: docs.google.com/document/d/1RMLb0J0hGB-HgueSLfYmpfnXbqyl6B0rK7uWzSDhMdg/edit?usp=sharing I'll update this until it's full. :)

Looks an interesting game, but not available this side of the pond yet. I had just finished unboxing Undaunted and thought the counters looked familiar, David Thompson having a helping hand in both games. Looking forward to the play through.

That's fine (I also ended up tracking down a copy of Silent Victory after watching your playthrough). As a big Sub fan I was wondering when you were doing more Sub games? I own both Gato and U Boat Leader and have been crewing with a friend on playthroughs of U Boot but realised from your videos that I wanted something that reflected glorious times playing Silent Service (by Microprose) when I was a teen. Keep up the good work.
