Determined to waltz through the minefield, Firefight plunges ahead...

Resistance is not Futile, the game "celebrating the heroic Polish resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto" (publisher description) is back on sale again today. I'm not sure if this is a mistake and an older page was put on the website in error, but it does appear as if you can order the game from Firefight.

I haven't hid my dislike for the concept of publishing a game about an event that would force one player to roleplay an exterminator. The historic event in question did occur, did involve guns and molotov cocktails and tanks and stuff, but it was no battle. Not really. The heroic (yes, I do think they were heroic) and misguided Jewish defenders did resist, and to the end-- but in game turns those events last exactly one turn. The rest of the game (according to the one playtest report I had opportunity to read, before it got pulled offline) is about hunting down the pockets of resistance and exterminating them. There's no way in hell I would play a game like this, nor would I buy stuff from this company. I respect their right to publish and fervently wish they enjoy their hard won freedom of speech that would allows them to print this game in a free society. In my opinion, the act of printing the game (given the extremely negative press the game has received) will do the hobby some injury for a few years. Too bad...
