Had a little too much fun coming up with this. There's anessay at the game page that goes into detail behind the history of the event (the Christmas Truce of 1914). I highly recommend reading Terri Crocker's The Christmas Truce: Myth, Memory, and the First World War. It's an excellent dive into how history is written and consumed, from journalism to propaganda to myth. Would love to see someone else take a tab at the art (borrowed an image from the IWM and spent far too long learning Illustrator to lay this out). I hope to expand on this in the future into a larger game - at least a magazine-insert if not a boxed product.
