The Red Burnoose has launched on KS on September 14 and the campaign will last until October 7. Unfortunately it hadn't been announced prior to the campaign, and we didn't have time to cover it.
On a personal level, I wish I had have the time to do it! As you can figure, the relationship between Algeria and France have been complicated. My two grand-fathers have been mandatory enrolled to fight during the Independence War for two years. Nowadays, it is still a burning hot political topic in France. So, the theme is definitely of interest to me - something I would appreciate to learn more about.
To be honest, my first impression was: "Wargame: skip." I didn't even look at the player count and didn't know it was soloable until it popped up in the BGG Sifting thread.
Thanks so much, Z! I got my 48 hours reminder today, and you're right, I'd forgotten to post about this game. 😳 I'm going to read the campaign page again now. My first impression after it launched was that it looked promising.
