I'm in love with the Dynamic Recon Ops missions. There are missions for all ARMA 3 islands. Its the mission that keeps on giving.
We should all really try to get together for some MP. I don't play much MP at all, so not sure if even possible to set up a mission as a server and invite people to join, but we'd have a lot of fun if its possible.
Bachelor Party Weekend leading into my buddies wedding on Sunday.

I'll have to check out those missions. I agree with you on MP. There are enough of us Grogs here who play the game. We could all have some fun while sharpening our skills. O0
I've heard Thursday is the new Friday.
Anyways, I'm lookin' to hook up Steel Beasts 4.0, Steel Armor: Blaze of War, and Mount and Blade: Warband with the Viking Mod that I bought on some sale or another.
Qvadriga will be my filler. One of you guys gifted me it a long time ago and I'm just now getting around to it. What a fun little game it is, surprisingly deep!

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into that. I played a lot of MP but grew tired when everybody just started using sniper rifles thanks to the marksman DLC that I don't have.
Civ V, Warlock II, maybe some kind of space 4x. Maybe Planar Conquest. And play around with Battlegrounds RPG/Game Engines.
Finally grabbed Sengoku Jidai and starting that. I may also get back to Warhammer 40K:Armageddon
I jumped the gun starting a Friday thread once. ONCE. I can't recall if JH was one of the guys who gave me shit about it, but it would be ironic, though!
Anyhoo, right now I'm all about Last Blitzkrieg (https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/178896/last-blitzkrieg). This is the first game in a new series published by MMP. It's battalion scale, 1 kilometer per hex, which is coincidentally the same as JTS Panzer Campaign series. I'm studying it with an eye to getting the small Bastogne scenario on the table within the next two weeks.
The highlight of this weekend for many Canadian's will be celebrating the last Tragically Hip concert :'(
Here are some tips on how you can partake this Saturday evening:

If starting the thread a little early is what it takes to prevent crap music from being posted in the forum, so be it. You can all thank me later.
I've played a lot of Glory of the Roman Empire in my holidays and have a hard time wanting to play something else....that and my wife using the main desktop to watch movies :tickedoff:
So i'll try to come back to what i played before:
- Master of Orion
- Oriental Empires
- Tropico 3
- Armada 2526 Gold
and probably some Imperium Civitas (Glory of the Roman Empire 1 1/2)
Result of my gaming during the holidays: https://www.facebook.com/pascal.giovannini/media_set?set=a.10154428954204452.1073741828.839679451&type=3 (https://www.facebook.com/pascal.giovannini/media_set?set=a.10154428954204452.1073741828.839679451&type=3)

One day I will start this thread. And in it will be american black slave hymns mixed with black metal. It will be a glorious day.
Now that the competitive season is over in Overwatch, I dunno what to get excessively salty over. I got an Arma mission on Tanoa on Sun. Tonight I'm doing a video for command ops 2 to promote the steam greenlight. Might play some Duskers and play around on Foxhole
The World of Warships bit Tuna posted in the other thread reminded me to update the said "World of..." games that I've got, so my guess is that I'll take those out for a spin. I gotta finish humping that stupid BDR (in tanks) to get to the next tier sometime in my immediate lifetime.
Otherwise I'll be going over the 3rd edition Boot Hill stuff I've recently gotten and continuing the yardwork saga - mower ate the pto belt for the deck and I gotta track down the air leak in the tires - so tally-ho!
Good tune. I like Van Halen
No gaming. Still on holiday in the Lake District 😁 Well, when I say no gaming, I mean no computer gaming. I have Combat Commander:Europe setup on the coffee table.
I can't wait to get back and fire up F1 2016 though
Mostly boardgames this weekend, my Carentan'44 expansion scenario for Panzer Blitz 2 arrived yesterday. I might visit the Ukrainian steppes for a new JTCS East Front II PBEM scenario Far From Home, depicting one of the several rear guard battles SS PzD Wiking fought at the time.
Sheesh, it was like just a couple of years ago I bought the "1984" LP album. Remember them :smitten:

I may do some solo ARMA3. On Tanoa with tribesmen from Unsung! JinBoa Cheeba! Also Mordheim, mostly because it isn't much like most games I play. On the boadgame front, it looks like PQ17 is coming out of its icy shell some time soon.

After having played it non-stop for a week, I'm regulating World of Warcraft to be my filler game this weekend. Got my 4th level 100 last night; not much else for me to do until Legion gets released on the 30th. Could go for a 5th level 100, I have a character at 88 right now, but I need a break from leveling.
Planning on dedicating most of my weekend to Elite. Due to WoW I'm still sitting a couple hundred light years from explored space. Next patch is due sometime around mid-late October, I would like to be back by the time that drops. Gives me two months to explore the Bernard's Loop, Horse Head and Orion nebulas. Not going to gain any first discoverys in the area, it's a popular place, but the view and screenshots I'm planning on taking should be well worth the trip. And it will be good practice for my planned circumnavigation of the galaxy. Although I may take a "quick" trip out to Sagittarius A before I do that. I should pull out the rules for Falling Sky while I'm rinse and repeating the task of jumping and scanning systems.
Will be some CMANO beta testing as well.
Polaris Sector to get reacquainted.
No Man's Sky to relax.
VASSAL work.
Enjoying the pool while the weather lasts.

Temperature has dropped to the 80s for the last two weeks, here. Not ideal swimming temperature for me. So it's sucking down money but not getting used. :-\
Guess I could always go sit next to it and drink a bunch of beers. Keep it company. :crazy2:

HA! We cheer when we get
UP into the 80's here. Although this summer has been exceptionally warm in the Nation's Capital. Haven't needed to heat the pool since the beginning of June.
Beers next to the pool are the way I spend most weekends. 8)
Iracing: Racing at Virginia International Raceway this week in the Blancpain GT3 Sprint Series this week.
World Of Warships: So far I am loving my tier IX Jap cruiser. Good guns, good armor, stealthy, and 10 KM torps.
Witcher III: Best action RPG eve. Still have not finished it yet, and I still have the 2 expansions to look forward to playing. Life is good.
When you're retired, it's always Friday. Or Saturday, Sunday or what ever day you want it to be.... except Monday. Never Monday. It's also always 5 o'clock, or bedtime if you want. In fact my wife often tells me, "Isn't it time for you to go bed now"? Anyway, I'll be chasing Samnites around Italy in Alea Jacta Est. Have a good one Grogs.
Well...let's see.
Working at the job, both of them short days. Not complaining AT ALL ( I'm home after noon)
Playing Distant Worlds, maybe Stellaris.

She isn't holding a kitchen knife when she says that, I hope.
Some more exploring in No Man's Sky, and probably running some alts through the Legion pre-launch invasions in World of Warcraft.
I kicked things off with a couple of rounds of Overwatch this afternoon. Will get into some No Man's Sky and HOI4 later
Playing the "Luftwaffe Pilot: Legion Kondor!" campaign for Il2 1946.
Canadian campaign for CMSF.
Playing as the Austrians using Darthmod for Total War: Empire.
A las Barricades (2nd Ed) for me - plus some Musket & pike Campaigns with panzerde (and maybe even some Battles of Normandy BPEM).

I'm not Canadian but have listened to these guys for the last 25 years. They are simply the best band you've never heard of. Losing Gordie will be a great loss for the Canadian music scene.
As far as gaming; I'm in a bit of a funk. I'm in a D&D mood but can't figure out what will scratch the itch.
Working on my wife's Win 10 laptop. Trying to figure out why it keeps losing the DVD drive. Looks like some registry tweaking. I am really trying to talk her into trying Linux. All she needs is email, internet and an office clone. I think she would be a perfect candidate to switch off of the most evil of operating systems. ;D
If I get some time: IL-2 1946. I figured out you can boost the resolution by tweaking the conf.ini file manually. Looks and runs great on my HD monitor. GoG now has it patched up to 4.13.

What're you trying to say, JH?!
Crap games for the crap music that you all play? :2funny:
Oh relax, I'm just kidding.
Me, the usuals. Some ASL with a buddy tomorrow. Another buddy wants to play a silly WWI block game on Sunday but he's supplying the bourbon so how can I refuse? I have a pbem of 'Thunder at the Crossroads' (Gettysburg) still ongoing and I have a solo run of the game in my table. I have some graphics work to do for a solitaire ASL system that a friend has been developing and I'm looking to get another pbem of some Blood Bowl going to scratch my football itch.
I'm playing Order of Battle Pacific: US Marines in an attempt to write a campaign AAR.
Also playing my pinball machine.
But most of the weekend was massive clearing & cleaning of the garage so my wife can park in it again. Starting putting stuff in it for the master bath renovation in June 2013 and have not been able to park a car there since.
I am still playing Hegemony 3 since the new patch released, still enjoying all the changes, the AI however still bad in organizing a large army attack.
Other than that I bought Grand Ages: Rome on sale, I played the demo before, but played it more now, I think this is one of the best city building ever.
Played some of M&B:W viking conquest DLC sandbox mode, was hyped after watching the siege video of the new M&B.
I think I spent the weekend mostly playing either Magic Duels (on Steam) or, relatedly, getting the new Shandalar campaign update working. (Which I won't post links to since it has to be several kinds of illegal.)
I first discovered that fans have been updating the Shandalar campaign game with new Magic: the Gathering cards, last August around this time! So checking in was a nice surprise to see matters continuing to progress, even though the newest build (known as HS1) is rather buggy. But the next most recent build (known as DL2) is working good and has received some bug fixes.
(For those who have no idea what I mean by the Shandalar campaign, I mean this. (http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=14624.0) Still no links at that DAR, though. I don't want anyone, especially the forum, getting in trouble.)

This is entirely possible - I've joined other players' games and even hosted myself for coop missions. Can't remember exactly how to do it (host probably has to port-forward), but it's not complicated.

Some of that happened and PQ-17 is on the table. The big hit of the weekend was Battle of Moscow.
The southern, eastern and western badlands have been cleared of Orcs and Goblins, i can consolidate the armies and now head North to tackle the Vampires and Chaos
