Some spoilers likely below
I recently played through this scenario, so picked up the pdf to read out of interest to see what we missed or where it could have gone.
The scenario is a rough outline of finding out what Nazi's are doing in a Czech castle just before the outbreak of WWII. As expected there are nasty going on's and the Nazi's are ruthless with the Czech locals. There's enough background material to get started for Keepers and the thread of a decent story, however I don't think it's an adventure for inexperienced Keepers. It's more of an outline than anything. It gives Keepers and Investigators scope to play with but I think much is unclear.
For one, options for getting into the castle is unclear in the book. Angel knows a way in but won't share it but needs to get in! In our game Angel basically found a side door and it was lock picked. Also, this game does require military characters and to be honest the numbers of Germans means it requires subterfuge to get around. Our game outside the castle was quite exciting as we were always on the run from the Germans. We seemingly spent a lot of time wandering around the castle not doing much. Although the 'twist' happened and we had some quite dramatic moments dealing with Angel it fell a little flat.
Good stuff but not necessarily essential
