The imposing and poignant 5.2m high Commando Memorial near Spean Bridge. Sculpted by Scott Sutherland, it was unveiled in 1952 as a memorial to the commandos; whose wartime basic training centre had been at nearby Achnacarry Castle.

#SteamNextFest recommendation for #SumerianSix. It's a real-time stealth game in the vein of #Commandos with really fun abilities. One character can ride patrolling guards like a ghost. Another one uses a melee injection that dissolves the whole body, leaving no corpse to be spotted. Another one can swap places with an enemy, leaving them both stunned. They're a ton of fun use in different combinations as you stealth/murder your way through levels.
@BathysphereHat you can do this in the real world.
WW2, the #Telemark campaign conducted by #Norwegian #SOE operators required them to survive in #Hardangervidda, the highest northern plateau. How? Moss pre digested in reindeer stomachs, left out to freeze then cooked.
You can watch how in this series by #RayMeers in #BBC series “The Real Heroes of Telemark”. Ray also has a tour going at some time in the future <https://www.raymears.com/Bushcraft_Course/Expeditions/The_Heroes_of_Telemark_Expedition/>, my only wish is it included the original insertion method by parachute.

The excellent Clan Cameron Museum near Achnacarry Castle, north-west of Spean Bridge in Lochaber. A place of pilgrimage for members of Clan Cameron from around the world, it also tells the story of the commandos who trained here in WW2.

I never managed to beat level 20 when I played #Commandos back in the day, so now that I have the game running on the Steam Deck and I have a k+m setup ready, I think it's a great time to revisit this classic.
I have a very special place in my heart for this game. It was super unique and groundbreaking when it released, and it had been developed by a Spanish studio, of which there were not many back then. I spent countless hours sneaking behind enemy lines, killing nazis...
