​In this special episode of Acceptable Losses, we sit down with the legendary Tuomas Pirinen (creator of Mordheim) to discuss his latest grimdark wargame, Trench Crusade. We explore the game's inception, the challenges of scaling up production to meet massive demand, and the deep, horrifying lore of a Great War that never ended. From the Iron Sultanate to the Heretic Legions, Tuomas gives us an inside look at designing a world where faith and firepower collide. Plus, hear the story of how a John Blanche painting terrified a framer!
