I know there’s been a lot of changes to the Patreon and the Discord setup lately, but I hope you will forgive me just one more reshaping, as I think some of the changes I made at the start of the year (and indeed some I made months ago) were mistakes.&nb...

Short Delay to the Siege of Narvik Video

Hi guys, 

Just a quick note to say that the Narvik video scheduled for this Saturday Oct 27th is going to have to be pushed back by a week, due to me contracting the plague and being unable to record the narration.
