Important Safety Tip: If you're going to use Wasp Spray for ANY project, make sure it's pointed AWAY from you when you push the button.

Getting back into Ageod's ACW2. The best strategic civil war game ever made. Before I purchase SCACW with my upcoming anniversary discount. Will see how it compares soon. Great to have three strategic ACW games out there now. Grand Tactician has a lot of great ideas but I much prefer turn based over real time.

I really wish I could get my head around the Ageod games. So many positive comments about them (especially Birth of America 2 and ACW2) but the forming of Corps/ Armies and getting Commanders sorted out for them always stumps me !

Yes a lot of people say that about ACW2. But there is none of that in BOA2. That's why everyone recommends BOA2 to Ageod game beginners.

It's easy to form armies and divisions in ACW2 by combining units and generals and pressing the buttons to do so but yes Corps are a little more complicated.

Shadow Empire with the new patch released yesterday. This game is so awesome.

Snicker...yeah! As I use a cane to hobble about I tend to go max nuclear on wasp nests with something I can spray from 15+ feet away. But, the ultimate option takes a bit of nerve and close combat tactics. An empty vegetable can filled with gasoline splashed on the nest from one to three feet away is the Bomb. Nothing like seeing an entire nest of 20 to 40 yellow jackets or wasps instantly drop straight down, dead. But if you are off just a little bit...

Sounds dangerous. I love it.

Lindsey is cool

Back from Italy. In mood for some various games. Civilization VI and trying to run Shogun 2 but so far ctd.

Enjoy your weekend

^Shogun 2 is worth the effort to get it running. Any idea what the issue is?

Had the same issue with Rome 2. Checking the files didn't help but making a full reinstall did...just annoying with such big games. Anyway...happily playing it now. :)

Nice!

Holiday Road. Wow, haven't heard that one since it came out, likely :bd:

Had to check, it really does plays for a hu-u-u-u-ge total of two minutes and twelve seconds. Say what you have to say, young man, and be done with it then

Good to hear. I found out they added a TON of DLC into my game because of the Deluxe edition. I have all the DLC including the battles from the Dragon War. (Boshin War)

^I still have yet to play that one.
