Radio stations across Europe created a heartwarming show of unity on Friday, playing football anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' in a bid to boost listener morale as millions of people have been forced to forgo their usual routines and social lives to abide by social distancing rules.
The 1963 Gerry and the Pacemakers hit was played out across European radio stations at 7:45 a.m. U.K. time/8:45 C.E.T
Breakfast shows across the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Bulgaria, Finland, Bosnia, Denmark, Cyprus, France, Latvia, Ireland, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, Turkey, and Slovakia.
The idea was prompted by a Dutch radio show host who wanted to demonstrate how the crisis "brings people together" said Britain's Radio 2 breakfast show host, Zoe Ball.
"We want everyone to know that whatever they're going through, they're not alone," Ball said.Not much gaming but maybe some Battlestar Galactica.
Somewhat tentatively...Terminator: Resistance and maybe some Wreckfest.
If given time (hah!), will set up new HOTAS and pedal system and fly me some planes (and helicopters)! Otherwise, yard work methinks.
Panzer Corps 2 and puzzle quest as usual
I'm finishing up the 1939-1940 Germany Campaign by Erik (modder) for Order of Battle WW2. Very long campaign and some of the scenarios are tough. It has been excellent!
Mostly the same as last week...buggy old Stellaris and Napoleon Total War...
As usual, more of The Division 2 on the PS4. Also, I may try to push some counters around and get Mark Herman's Waterloo Campaign 1815 back on the table again. I like the simple, but elegant system. His other game with the same game system, Gettysburg, is a blast to play.
Stay safe and good gaming, Grogs!
Groggy
Playing, 'Grumpy Old Pool-Cleaner' and, 'Deathrace 2020: The Fight for Toilet Paper'. ;D Also some CM Market Garden and Pillars 2. Stay safe out there Grogs.

My usual mix: mostly World of Warships and Hell Let Loose
Stellaris with the new Verne update - seeing how things go. I haven't had a contact with any AI races yet.
Panzer Corps 2 General Edition BABY! - got it with my Anniversary Coupon (it was time to use it)
but I work on Sunday :uglystupid2: Yeah, the "joy" of retail.
Good luck on Deathrace 2020: The Fight For Toilet Paper Sir Slash. :DD
Playing the Witcher 1 as it seems fitting with a semi-quarantine theme.

Aren't they the same game? :D
Reading the title, i expected this:
Fairly different
Have started a new
Stellaris campaign in 2.1.3 with several mods installed. I'm only about 25 years in, but I'd say it's definitely an improved my experience so far.
Wanting to get back into
Rome II as well, but I'm first reading up more on the DEI mod so that I have some idea of the changes made.

I take it the 2.6 update didn't fix that sector display bug you've been dealing with?

Indeed, i guess i have to revert to some version back in order to have a working sector display :-[
I might pick up Panzer Corps 2.
Or I might actually play some games I already own.
After recently stumbling across The MAD Russian's AAR (An Uncivil War) over at the Matrix forums regarding Forge of Freedom I've been inspired into playing that this weekend.
I'm also planning on spending time with Xenonauts again. Great game that I never really dived deeply into. This in turn may inspire me to also continue my campaign in Phantom Doctrine which has been on hold for almost a year now.
Finally got Tiller's Panzer Battles: North Africa 1941. Finished the tutorial scenario earlier today (minor Allied victory) and looking to move on to another.

Finished the last scenario. It was excellent!
Finished up my current PBEM games, got my butt kicked in FOG2. Taking a break from PBEM for a bit. I lost interest in Skyrim.......again, in the mood for some modern war stuff. Maybe Armored Brigade, Flashpoint Campaigns, or a Tiller modern war game, leaning toward Middle East 67 or might go to Campaign Series Middle East. Started playing Xenonauts CE again, will continue getting my guys killed. Be safe everyone.
Panzer Corps 2 is most likely going to eat up the majority of my weekend. I did just start a new full campaign of WarPlan, but the shiny graphics and miniature wargaming feel of PC2 is just far too alluring. :smitten:
Lotsa beer n pretzels this weekend!

Sorry to hear that, man. I'd joke that this is the perfect opportunity for you to dive into 1.9, but honestly that sucks. :(

I am going to finish this current game (which seems to drag forever, 2322 now and nothing happening). Will do the 1.9 later on

One thing I'll weigh in on this matter, having switched between the two this weekend -- the music in WarPlan is SO very good. :smitten: Panzer Corps 2, not so much.
Can't wait for more mods or expansions for WarPlan - hopefully the Steam release will spur new content!
