@liw A good example of a stupid rule (or at least mechanical limitation that the designers considered beneficial) was the #WW2 German #Enigma machine never encoding a letter with itself; that's one of the main reasons Bletchley Park was able to crack it.
The modern equivalent is limiting what can go in a password, which significantly reduces the size of the field (when you consider that most passwords are still syllabic).

Fighters of the Pacific is a clever game chronicling the rivalry between Captain Cheekbones and Lieutenant Hōbone.
We've played each of the first three scenarios twice, swapping sides for the second game. In each scenario, the same side won both games, raising questions about balance.

New Il-2 Sturmovik video:
A slower paced battle between two heavy (twin-engine) fighters: the British de Havilland Mosquito FB XVIII & the German Messerschmitt Bf 110G.
After a mutually painful merge, the Mosquito gained the upper hand, but it took a long time to bring down the 'Zerstörer' ('Destroyer').
Definitely a very different experience to flying and fighting in fast, agile, single-engine aircraft.

Reading about Herbert Nicholson, a Quaker minister and missionary who delivered reading materials to Japanese-Americans incarcerated at Manzanar during WW2.
He's mentioned briefly in @georgetakei graphic novel, They Called Us Enemy. A defender of human rights and civil liberties and someone to recall as we approach the 75th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Dec 10, 1948).
Today in Labor History November 28, 1944: 400 people in Rotterdam attacked a coal warehouse during the Nazi occupation. The Nazis executed 40 Dutch men in retaliation. By 1944, over 300,000 Dutch resisters were living underground, combined with tens of thousands more who were actively resisting the occupation.

"Account Rendered" Melita Maschmann. 4 stars. Autobiography of a woman who was a committed & diligent National Socialist (#Nazi), of her experience in youth work & propaganda, and her journey coming to terms with the truth of what she participated in. Description of the clinical dispossession of the Poles is disturbing (and new to me), as is the readiness with which everyday mediocre people were led into misguided beliefs, alternative facts & constrained thinking, to do prosaic work which had horrifyingly evil outcomes.
