In 1978, Richard Berg designed the game The Campaign for North Africa, which is a relatively detailed board game about the campaign in North Africa in 1940-1943. The game consists of 1,800 pieces and 3 books with rules and takes about 1,200 hours for 10 players to complete. The degree of detail is so great that one e.g. Remember to provide additional water to the Italian troops pasta.

According to all this church§$% fish is no flesh, so can be eaten during Lent as well. It always depends on what suits you better

Then if you look at halal or kosher foods ... i see no real reason either.

Sometime in the future, if humans have not already killed themselves and will fly to other planets, they will still serve "kosher" food. Humans.. hopeless.
