In June 1942, forces of the Japanese Northern Army occupied Attu Island as part of its Midway campaign. Attu, at the far western end of the Aleutian Archipelago, was American soil. In May 1943, American forces landed on Attu to liberate it. They were unprepared for the tenacity of the Japanese defenders and the brutality of the environmental conditions. What was expected to be a week-long clean-up exercise became a month-long, nose-to-nose meat-grinder whose casualty levels would not be exceeded until Iwo Jima.

War in the Wind is a low-to-moderate complexity game (roughly eight pages of rules) depicting the brutal combat and conditions on Attu. The design focuses on the challenges faced by the American forces in the form of extremely variable weather conditions and logistical hurdles posed by nearly insurmountable terrain. The Japanese must use these conditions to their advantage in order to survive the overwhelming American numbers.

In addition to the campaign game covering the entire battle, War in the Wind also includes three smaller scenarios focusing on separate phases of the battle.

Classic for a Reason — Thick, Reliable, and Actually Works
Size: 8.4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
There’s a reason the German formula of NIVEA Creme has a cult following, and after using it consistently, I understand why. The appearance alone tells you this isn’t some watered-down, trendy moisturizer trying to be cute. It’s thick, dense, almost old-school in the best way — that clean white cream in the iconic blue tin feels intentional and substantial. The scent is subtle, clean, and nostalgic without being overpowering. It smells like “taken care of,” not perfume. If you’re sensitive to heavy fragrance, this strikes a solid balance. Now let’s talk performance. This is not a lightweight lotion — and that’s the point. It goes on thick, and you can feel the protective barrier immediately. It’s especially excellent for hands, elbows, knees, and dry winter skin. I use it at night on my face and hands, and by morning my skin feels calm, restored, and noticeably smoother. It’s the kind of moisture that actually lasts instead of disappearing in 20 minutes. Absorbency depends on how much you use. A little goes a long way. If you apply it generously, it will sit on the skin for a bit — but in a way that feels protective, not greasy. If you warm it up in your hands first and apply moderately, it absorbs beautifully and leaves a soft, healthy finish. For the price, the value is honestly impressive. One tin lasts forever because you need so little. This isn’t a “reapply every hour” product. It’s reliable, consistent, and does exactly what it promises. If you want something ultra-lightweight, this isn’t that. But if you want serious hydration, skin protection, and a product that’s stood the test of time for a reason — this delivers.

So good
Size: 8.4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am a Nivea loyalist. I love this crème for the winter when the air is super dry, it’s so hydrating for dry skin. I love that it’s the German formal, which makes it better. The tin is huge, you get so much for the price, it lasts so long. It’s so rich and thick and goes on so nice. It doesn’t have a strong smell, more like a clean scent. Also, it goes on thick, you don’t need a whole lot,nor it takes forever to rub in. I warm it in my hands first, just a finger tip amount, rub in my hands and then press it into my face, and then it just rubs in, no white cast. Leaves the loveliest glow. It’s not vegan, if you want a vegan formula, try the Nivea Soft, which I use too, in the summer, when I don’t need a thick formula. It doesn’t cause me to break out, again don’t use too much. I love that you can use it for face, hands and body. It literally is just for moisture. Nothing fancy. The tin is recyclable. I take it everywhere. I keep a little tin in my car, my purse, my overnight bag. My face feels soft and supple even hours after using it. It’s just so lovely.

I loved the Nivea cream; it works really well to hydrate my skin and leave it soft—and best of all, it's fragrance-free.

Feb 2026 order German made
Size: 8.4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Purchased in Feb 2026 and I can confirm the product I purchased is legit from Germany. It's a little tricky to sort through and find the German made ones and I'm unsure if other countries have the same ingredients, I know the US ones are made in Mexico and the ingredients are NOT the same and yes it makes a huge difference. This is thick, the smell isn't overpowering at all and it sinks right in. Great for dry winter skin and keeping hands and other body parts super soft. I slather this on my face before bed every night and my skin is glowing. I have used la mer (and everything in between) and I think this blows it away. Phenomenal product. Excellent price. Love it. Highly recommend.
