Page Up, the key I crash-dive when I want to screengrab a Steam game, has seen an awful lot of action this week. Sea Power, an almost-upon-us naval wargame with brooding good looks, deep realism, but a disappointing attitude to tuition, is to blame.
Every Friday, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers. All are welcome to participate.
ISS Simulator, a fetching freebie made by a Japanese outfit called SpaceData, is one brainstorming session and a few weeks of coding away from being one of Steam’s most unusual hidden object games.
THC is lucky enough to have an ex-KCL Wargame Studies lecturer amongst its guest contributors. Today, Arrigo Velicogna sings the praises of a solitaire board wargame that’s chock-a-block with Churchill tanks, chary Jerries, and chancy counterattacks.

Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, work out my location.

What I can say is that my first few hours with Maciej Kuzianik’s £10 (until November 11) boulder bothering sim have flown by and I’ve enjoyed every minute so far.
