I am so sorry Anguille

Shadow Empires

I want to jump back into Aurora C+, but the time eludes me.

[MengJiao]

Not playing as much as i used too since about 2 months....first my computer isn't working as good as it used to and then my Dad died of Covid on the 11th of November. I am mostly watching tv to distract me. I am mostly too tired to play anyway.

  Sad to hear of your father's death.  My father died quite a while ago.  I still miss him every day.

Shadow Empires

I want to jump back into Aurora C+, but the time eludes me.

Do it! Here is my current empire...

I am playing Shadow Empire (probably badly on easy settings) and Order of Battle - first soviet campaign.  I want to work through those to play Red Storm with a veteran force.

[Rayfer]

Shadow Empire...and still enjoying board games (first time in many years) playing Old School Tactical Stalingrad expansion.

Well the wife tested positive for the flu on Wednesday and her Covid-19 text came back positive today as well.  So I'll probably be playing....everything since it's a 10 day quarantine from work and not much else to do around here except to do the cooking and tending to the wife's needs.  Sorry for your loss Anguille! 

Update:  My rapid test has come back positive as well.  Fortunately my symptoms are more like a head cold then anything.  Wife is feeling pretty achy but not as congested.

An old classic! Excellent

Still, i would like to play some Interstellar Space: Genesis with the new DLC. It's really a decent 4x.

:'( Condolences Anguille. Someone I work with lost his mom just yesterday. This year has just been awful.  :hug: (Because I care for my humans)


I'm currently involved in Pharaoh/Cleopatra and at long long last I am in the New Kingdom Campaign! The final cities await!

I have Shadow Empire which intrigues me with the new air forces.  Plus I have Stellaris with newly acquired Federations and Ancient Relics to tinker with.

But mostly I've been watching MST3k on twitch tv.  It's been my go to during this, and with all the stress at work it's gotten me through.

^ Gamera Rules!

I am also quite sorry to hear of the loss of your Father Anguille. I lost mine back in 1993 and miss him everyday still. There's so much I see everyday that I know he would laugh at, especially when I get my ass in a crack sometimes.

Medieval 2 TW with Stainless Steel as the Stormin' Normans. Here, Good King Ademaro with his army prepares to storm the walls of Alexandria. Have a great weekend Grogs and... take care nelmsm of yourself and the Wife!

Losing a parent is always hard.  May God have mercy on his soul.

Thanks. I am sure he's in good hands now. My dad was a great man and very kind. If he's not going straight to heaven, i don't know who will.  I am mostly sorry for my children who lost their beloved grandpa.

I'm so sorry to hear this Anguille.  I lost my dad back in July of this year.  I know my dad is in a better place now.  I'll pray for you and your dad tonight.

My two daughters were hit pretty hard when they lost their grandpa.  My advice for you is comfort your children, your wife, and if your mom is still around visit her as much as possible during the first three months.  Let her know that she can count on her son to be there for her now that the love of her life is gone.  I say this from my heart and it works.

Thanks guys for your kind words...

@Boggit...that's really too kind of you. 

;D

Hopefully it gave you a grin. >:D

You're on then! Let me know whether you want to play FoG or FoG2 and I'll set a game up for us. :)

[Gusington]

Hang in there nelmsm.

And Slash after a dozen years (or more) that game still looks great.

[Myrmidon]

My deepest condolences for your loss Anguille. 

Nelmsms, hoping for the best for you and your wife. 

Dominions 5 on the primary burner for this weekend.  In 4 MP games on the Discord server, but there really is something special about the Grogshead game.  The world is now on fire, the turns are intense, and the stakes high.  Should be fun!

Any spare gaming time will be occupied with Wizards and Warlords, and Dwarf Fortress.  Shadow Empires, Elite Dangerous and Aurora C++ are on the desire to play list, but who know when I'll get around to them again...

EDIT: Oh yeah, discovered Barbarians on Netflix.  Outstanding series so far.  I'm not a big fan of subtitles typically, but the voiceovers weren't adding to the ambience for me.  Listening to the Germanic Tribes speak German and the Romans speak Latin though is totally worth the inconvenience of subtitles.
