Will's Good idea for the Week of 12/17/18

Anyone else notice that in our novels one usually reads about the chief of staff informing the president or saying things like, 'Prime Minister, you have to [insert plot device].'

Using the national leader as a newbie straight-man has always been a good and easy way to inform the reader. 'Gosh, we have three divisions ready to go. Who knew?'

Well not In World War 1990: NL. This time the PM, Ruud Lubbers will be telling the CoS what to do.

Don't worry, the briefings are still coming. In fact when we tried to get away from the cabinet room in Castro's Folly, readers complained, 'But I can't tell what's going on!'

What part of, 'We're blowing the fuck out of Cuito Cuanavale' is unclear?

Actually, at this point in our career we're sort of kicking ourselves in the head (boy Ed would have loved to do that for us) for our lack of ambition. There is no reason we could not have made Castro's Folly two novels, one in Central America, one in South Africa. World War 1990: SA.

But don't worry people, we're still doing Esercito Italiano.
