@AdamFMcGregor @OspreyGames It’s a colive / remote work venue, so a bit of both

@DaveNealeWriter @OspreyGames Business or pleasure?

Appropriately for the month in which War Story: Occupied France from @OspreyGames launched, I spent October in a chateau in Normandy that was used as a local German HQ, and still bears the marks of bullet holes and shrapnel from when the allies took it back. #WWII #boardgames
