Title: She Sells FRIDAY!
Post by: Jarhead0331 on October 26, 2017, 08:45:32 PM



Probably going to be more Falcon BMS training, Wolfenstein II, Running With Rifles Pacific War DLC and maybe test out the new Total War Warhammer DLC that combines the empires and maps from the series.

Enjoy everyone.

No regrets Stagger. I married her for you. And then bought her a house for her to kick me out of.  :hide:  CMFI's German Campaign: Conrath's Counterattack for me where I've made it to the FINAL fight. Probably only to die a noble but glorious death.

Will probably be sinking my time into Bomber Crew and FOG II. Thanks for the suggestions guys, both are great! Think I might do some more of my Ultimate General Civil War campaign as well. Lastly may fall weak and get something,  anything from the Halloween Sales.

Well just to lighten the mood...



This weekend, I'm hoping to play some Warframe, Field of Glory II, Wolfenstein II and Cogmind in ASCII. @)

I have no heart so the post above has no effect on me. Most likely more Civilization 6. On the table, continue learning Lock n Load Tactical so I can play Heroes of the Pacific.

Nope. Takes place during the reign of Ptolemy XIII, circa 50bc, or so.

Youth association football which is an hoot as the weather plummets to freezing.

JTS Jena (x2)

And, because it is near the 'versary,, my beloved has consented to a two-player of "Here I Stand".  We MAY get through the 95 Theses phase.

Top song, remember going to the Manchester Apollo to see them on the LOVE tour.

If I can stop staring at my feet and shuffling back and forward very slowly, with maybe some semi random arm movements - proper goth dancing, I might play some Sengoku Jidai, Strategic Command WWII or Gal Civ III.

May take advantage of the Matrix sale to get FoGII and give that a crack.  However, I used my last Matrix coupon to snaffle Advanced Tactics Gold and have spent my gaming time this past week watching an excellent "Let's Play" series on that, so really that's what I should play.  Other than that ( and depending on what state I come back from the pub tonight) there'll probably be some RoF MP in the offing.

Yeah, FOG2 is hard to resist at 25% off.  I may have to pick it up and let the watch fund take a hit.

I'll probably break out some Cold Waters...not sure what else yet.  If I crack open the wine tonight, perhaps some CK2.  I haven't played that in a while.

Unfortunately I'm going to be flying my work desk for most of this weekend. In what little gaming time I'm going to get it'll probably be a mix of World of Warplanes, CMANO Shifting Sands, and a lot of  Destiny 2 on the PC. If I get the time I'd like to get a flight in the PMDG 737 in Prepar3d but not likely I'll have enough time to fit it in uninterrupted.

Huh.
Great song.
Remember first hearing it ~1986, in the upstairs of the Continental, in Buffalo NY. They played all of the "British imports" there.  Anyone here from Bflo?

On topic, will be playing GalCiv III with expansion, CivV, and Dominions 4.  And watching the PSU-OSU game.

Played a couple of the smaller scenarios and so far it's kind of.... boring. A lot less to do than even AJE. And if you don't have many units, or many that are unlocked, there's not a lot to do. Sometimes.

Never, ever found it boring. Even the tiny Pequot scenario was fun and a good way to learn the AGEOD system if you aren't familiar. Sure it doesn't have as much nudity as Game of Thrones, but still!

Trying War Thunder because the ww2 simulator community and my friends are all over the place at the moment. It's easy to get people together for quick fights and while unrealistic by todays standards probably does as well as il2 sturmovik the original sim which people still play.

IL2 BOS I cannot play because of my tinnitus.
CLOD still in development
DCS and its so expensive to get people together considering all the modules and DCS2 that get in the way. Just an effort to get everybody to learn and so limited currently for ww2.

Other than that a little total war arena (which seems shunned by the total war centre community who will not even give it a forum that is easily viewable) with friends and some holdfast nations at war.
I also would not mind getting in some naval action.

Post by: Sir Slash on October 28, 2017, 10:24:11 PM
I just finished the Pequot scenario with a draw though the AI outscored me. Until the last 2 turns, there's only one unit that's not locked. A unit and a Leader actually. That's a little 'snooze-worthy' in my book. Next up is Montcalm's Campaign and that looks more to my liking. Lots of units to push around. As usual, the historical detail is impressive. Worth the $12 I paid for it.

Picked up about $30 of minor games off the Steam Halloween sale: Reiner Knizia's: The Confrontation; Unreal Estate; Age of Rivals; Caravan; the standalone Democracy 3: Africa (I own the main game, too, and most of its DLCs); Land Doctrine; and Lost Technology.

I'm holding off on any big purchases for a while, as I have tonnnnssss of material already to play with. Though I just added some scraps, too.

Meanwhile, Barthheart will be happy to hear that I have finally gotten Turn 11 of our DC1:Blitz game back to him! I'm not entirely doomed yet! I might still pull the crashing and burning nascent Third Reich out of its wreck upon the rock of Poland! (The AAR update is on the way but may be a few days.)

Played some Numantia tonight. Accidentally played 3 hours, so I can't refund; do I feel like I'm going to get $20 from the game? -- probably not. The interface is a little janky, whether I'm playing with controller or mouse. Some of the special abilities are not well-explained in-game.

It's a basic tactics game, very much like the tactical battles of Master of Magic and its ilk, at least the ones where you can have multiple figures in each squad. They don't seem to level up; and there doesn't seem to be any terrain effects; and Lord knows it's suuuuuuuper basic on the field (unlike MoM and its ilk where at least you can be buffing your troops significantly before and after battle). Much less is it something like a JRPG tactics game. Its main selling point, besides its setting (Rome's conquest of Hispania), is that in between battles you'll be offered story choice events which can affect how things play out later and/or provide some extra resources. I played the Numentian campaign.

   Instead I got the latest DLC for Gaviteam (about the Mareth Line) and had some interesting disasters involving minefields and flanking fire and getting stuck in the desert mud.
