Interesting article from the BBC about how drones seem to be serving more and more as "the poor man's artillery" for both sides.  Also some pretty eerie commentary on the way both sides are largely hunkering down as this bloody stalemate takes a turn for more personalized killing at arm's length.

I like the Olympics.  I liked them better when they were held every 4 years (more anticipation for the summer/winter games) vs every 2 years (too soon, didn't we just have an Olympics?).

I'm more a fan of the Winter Olympics, but would've peeked in on some of the summer events like Diving.  I'm now pretty sure I won't be watching anything from Paris 2024.

Hope anyone swimming in the cesspool Seine doesn't get too sick.

They are frequently praised by new players for easing them into the game.

Aren't many of them quite old? How have they aged with all of the updates?

The devs for Mius Front released a couple of new expansions recently and added in some new features and UI changes.  I haven't played in quite a few months so I thought I'd dive in and take a look at what the game is like now.

Right away, one of the new features that really grabbed my attention is the addition of Companion Books for each DLC.  These are short (5-20 pg) pamphlets describing the operation in detail, complete with battle maps, and links to further information. 

They've also heavily revamped the strategic layer with many changes to both the appearance and functionality of the briefing/overview map.  There's still a learning curve to the OOB lists and how to deploy and reinforce units, but it's better than before.

EDIT: I found this guy's video which highlights some of the stuff I was babbling about.

As much as I would have personally liked it we dodged a bullet by tanking the Boston 2024 Olympic bid
It looked like it was a done deal intil people realized the financial scam that props it up
