Blackadder Goes Forth is is phenomenal, character-driven resource for a Great War game. Sometimes a fiction, even a satire, is emotionally true. And that last two minutes of the last episode are shattering.
Cheers!

I JUST bought Wraith: the Great War, and I like it. Wait, that's not true... I LOVES it!
About a 100 years ago (well, less than that, obviously) after reading All Quiet on the Western Front in school, I immediately saw Blackadder Goes Forth's final episode. It's the funniest, saddest, best companion to Remarque's novel that I could imagine.
...Yeah, to echo another poster, that list isn't ideal in its impartiality, but the BBC isn't the unbiased source that she once was. That notwithstanding, the bits about the human costs of the Great War do a lot to colour the way ghosts of that era should view their state. I'm glad for the timeliness of this coming my way!
