Research direction

Start by locating the code that renders the download tables for standard games and variants, then check how the static site builds those pages. Show only the latest six months initially and add a client-side “expand all” control for the remaining downloads. Done means both tables remain usable, the information below them is easier to reach, and the site still works entirely as a static website.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The table of downloads on standard games and variants is too long to comfortably scrol, and there is useful information below each table.

I would suggest showing up to the last 6 months on landing and introducing an "expand all" button which shows all remaining downloads.

Constraint: The website must remain wholly static, so the expand all button should work entirely client-side.
