The Trees Remember (A WW2 Mystery)
An encyclopedic knowledge of Warsaw Pact AFVs, Bob Dylan songs, Paris landmarks, or species of gibbon won’t help you solve today’s ‘foxer’. The singular co-op puzzle I’m about to describe was created during WW2 and has been steadily increasing in difficulty ever since. But for a chance detour a couple of weeks ago, I might never have stumbled upon it.
Nuclear Option (Cricket Sims Don’t Come Any Better)
Unplugged and silent, Ada, my brand new PC, is sulking in a corner of the THC office as I type this.

The Lions of Lodowice: Fin
The sight of the squat SU-100 spewing flame from multiple orifices is too much for the Blue Team. With the last of their starting AFVs eliminated, the Comment Commanders choreographing Soviet forces in river-riven central Lodowice decide enough is enough – it’s time to pull back. Observing the withdrawal, the triumphant Tiger trundles onto Boleslav Bridge, closely followed by a motley collection of exhausted scouts, tank hunters, and pedestrianised Panzer personnel.
