Am I really the only one with a liking for sub-Viking Raiders basic wargames? @WhatHoSnorkers ?

I just read "Zeitgame.net" playthrough of this!

I have the book of Spectrum wargames and need to do more with it. I streamed the Battle of Hasting and after nearly 2 hours no-one had died (because I'd missed a line of code, I think).
I have a little YouTube channel of nonsense

It is Red Weed. Well done. An odd game that you outnumber the attackers, a bit like the boardgame Ogre.

And yet, still they come.

Oh wow, it has just had a write on the zeitgame blog. It even noted the similarity to Ogre. What are the chances?

I thought it might be 'Backpackers Guide...' but a quick look for a video proved me wrong.
