Just did this on the spur of the moment, so may have missed a few keepers

As I suspected - need to add Command Ops

Lotti Fuehrscheim

I played wargames mostly as boardgames
- ASL
- Richard Berg: Civil War, ancient battles
- The Gamers various series
Then when I started computer gaming I took up
- Command Ops (when it was Highway to the Reich)
- Combat Mission, when North-Africa/Italy was just released and I followed them into Shock Force and Normandy
Through my son I discovered the more cinematic games
- Total War series
And spent lots of time in
- Endless Space, Endless Legend
- Europa Universalis III when it was finished, and I moved into IV, still play it once and a while to form a Dutch nation and beat  the shit out of the English.
- Alpha Centauri, I played each faction at least once to victory
I also dabbled a bit in RPG's
- Planescape:Torment and Baldur's Gate, but I never finished thoes
- Pillars of Eternity I did finish and I played a coupke of different builds.
- Tyranny
Meanwhile I was also playing AGEOD games, especially
- Rise of Prussia was the most epic multiplayer game I have ever played, even though I lost
A few years ago I played 400 hours and a racing wheel in online races with
- RaceRoom
Recently my most played games are, apart from the above
- Age of Wonders: Planetfall (I also loved III)
- WH40K Gladius
- Eurotruck Simulator
- Shadow Empire

At least nobody's listed that creepy, 'Shower With Your Dad' game. Yet.  <:-)

Excellent game, I had forgotten about that one...  after some consideration, it should be on my list as well..

It is such a good game! Coming out of cloak as a Bird of Prey and attacking is so cool.

Birth of the Federation was mentioned above, I've never played it, but I'd really like to get my hands on a copy.  I think I'd love it.

I also miss the Star Trek Armada games.

Just curious, what are you using Table Top Simulator for? 

I have been using for board games after being introduced to TTS by JasonPratt. Jason, I and a few other non-Grogs usually do three or four player GMT games like "Fire in the Lake" or "Dominant Species"

Another group of my friends use it for miniatures and RPGs. ..they are trying to entice me to broaden my TTS palate.

???? Is that a real thing?

How many copies did they expect to sell? And who did they think would buy them?

Mostly for playing board games from GMT, Star Wars Rebellion, and Twilight Imperium 4.  The setup time I can save using TTL for playing these monsters as opposed to the real thing is worth it.  Although sometimes I do prefer to play with the physical copies of the games.

I will not dare search Steam or the interwebs to see if Shower With Your Dad is real...but I think it might be.
