Title: Working My Way Back To F R I D A Y
Post by: JudgeDredd on July 20, 2018, 03:15:14 AM


This weekend will be mostly continuing building my 1/720 USS George Washington model. Gaming will be F1 2017 and probably some DCS F/A-18.

Enjoy your weekend everyone  O0

Starting Saboteur for the 4th time, starting a second play through of The Witcher 3 +all DLC, maybe some Endless Space 2 and tinkering with my music software.

4-player game of Star Trek: Ascendancy tomorrow night.  7 or 8 player game of Sails of Glory on Saturday.  Maybe get into Cold Waters or Frostpunk on Sunday.

Definitely some IL-2 BoS, etc....will continue to explore the joy of both air combat and tank crew in VR.

ARMA3, checking out the new goodies from the encore update.

Endless Space 2, dominating a small corner of the galaxy.

Maybe some WH40K Gladius.

Fire up DCS F/A18C, just to keep proficient on routine operations and systems and explore some new areas of the Persian Gulf map which were released in this week's update.

Everyone enjoy.

May continue my campaign in Tyranny - the amount of story in this game is overwhelming. Continuing my Tomb Kings campaign in TW Warhammer II after getting a smack down from the Vampire Counts...must recover and regroup. May also start games of Elder Scrolls Online and/or Planescape: Torment.

Awesome song btw 👍

Nice song choice, JD!  O0

I'm not sure, game-wise...I have some prep to do for some (hopefully) big things happening next week, but I might get some more Pavlov's House in so I can get a review out. I'd like to continue my Curse of the Azure Bonds AAR, too...that's on my other work laptop, I'll just need to drag it out and hook it up, but if there's time I'll be all over that.

Thinking of getting into Endless Space 2, with all the talk about it here....

Thinking of getting TOAW IV. Want another groggy title.... but should I wait for a sale....

Need to get my new game Medieval on the table and learn it ...

New board game showing up today so  that will probably get broken out first...

And then there's yard work...

More Galactic Civilizations III: Intrigue this weekend. So far I like this new DLC but will I end up losing interest like I normally do with GalCiv? I also used my Matrix anniversary coupon (41% off!) to buy WH40K Gladius so I might give that a try.

Eh, reckon I'll keep on killin' on in RO2 / RS2 and Chivalry: Medieval Warfare (can't help it with this last game; it's wonderfully bloody).

And in the vein of my interests posted in the IL2 thread, I may pick up Post Scriptum now that its for sale and servers are up in Open Beta format (iirc).

In my humble opinion this weekend is coming two days too late...

Not one but TWO Austria 1809 KSs rumbling to life this weekend.

A whole lot of JTS playing and playtesting I'm backed up on.  Doug, twisted beggar that he is, decided now would be a good time to start up a game of Campaign: Eckmuhl.  I did not disagree.

Getting near the end for the Wehrmacht in the Grogheads Strategic Command Classic furball.  I have not done particularly well...

WH40k: Gladius has my attention.  I'll bend JH's "opportunity lost" to a "failure to innovate", but I love the IP so much that, so far, I've not become bored.

I really, really, really want to finish a game of "Black Orchestra".  I'm 0-3 at the moment, although one time we got quite close.

So many choices....

I haven't played a computer game in at least a month.  I'll probably go with something I know, Cold Waters, CK2, or maybe some Take Command Second Manassas.

I finally got enough turns to add another update to my Combat Mission Shock Force AAR. I'm hoping to pump out the remaining updates soon and finish this thing off (finally!!!)

Other than that I've been really into Field of Glory II recently. I tend to play Rome most of the time, but I'm trying to branch out and learn the Greek factions a bit more.

I may also play some Campaign Series Middle East if I have the time. I recently had to rebuild my desktop and just got around to reinstalling CSME and it's patch.

Beyond that, I'm almost constantly playing one or more of the Combat Mission titles. I have a PBEM or two going right now, but they are more of a gentleman's match set-up, so not really worthy of an AAR or video. Though I do want to get around to making another CM video. We'll see.

Due to overtime continuing this weekend, and some family time with Bro, Ishy, and the nieces, I've focused almost entirely on pulling together a harmonized plan for the Austrian side of the "Death Ride" Kriegspiel today (Saturday).

Unsure about tomorrow, other than watching over the initial corps orders (and perhaps tweaking the Plan accordingly); and playing the Belgiac turn in our Crisis Grogs mp of Falling Sky. At least two players have a good shot at winning the game by 3rd winter, which should be coming up soon! (No spoilers since I'm sure I'll AAR this eventually.)
