Thanks @rasmus – and definitely a pretty solid movie, surprisingly so for a made for TV film (won an Emmy, though, as we report in Part 05 of our series). Yes, it takes place a little after the battles we specifically cover in the series, but definitely gives a “Belleau Wood” vibe, and catches that “semi-trenchless” WW1 dynamic we see in the closing months of the war.

Some plans have started tio fall though slightly for the weekend – no promises but I might be able to stage that Valor & Victory “1918 Edition” game after all, with US Army forces already in the trench system of a German line (as we roughly describe in the interview).
