All Quiet on the Western Front is a great film but it should be remembered it is a German view. I feel it frames the perception of the whole war and the Allies’ War should be viewed more positively from their aims at the least.

@gr1mmas If you’re doing the French soon then Elizabeth Greenhalgh’s book in the Oxford is utterly superb as an overview

@gr1mmas It’s that interesting and perennial question about cultural representation isn’t it. It never really reflects history which is why we need good military historians… but equally it reflects the lasting perceptions and how they impact the present

Looking at the heroes of the first forged army of renown has set off something primal in my braincell Yes I need to do an entire list of annihilators and knight quest questors, no I will not be judged when I lose every game

@iamforehead84 @AekoldHelbrass Culminating with this duel of all duels… my blood crusher finally deals with the dark riders who survived being 1) trampled by juggernauts 2) being smashed by a giant brass meteor He did, of course, face his end in heroic fashion charging towards the bloodcrusher

@iamforehead84 Final game against @AekoldHelbrass - as an expedition settlers gain try to escape the collapsing New Albion they find a horde of bloodthirsty idiots on juggernauts mainly concerned with taking their skulls

@TheMaraviglia I am in exactly the same position… slowly getting stuff painted as a palette cleanser between other projects myself so next burst I should have the project most of the way there

The recurring idea that I might be able to play If the Lord spares us on the western front has led me to almost make the communication markers and battalion HQs for my 1914 armies several times. This evening I actually did the first.
