Still working on house (spiffying a place up to sell is damn tiring) but I've got ARMA to keep me company when otherwise not busy.

Stay safe, folks!

Just getting in after traveling this week.

No idea what I'll be playing but games and scotch are on the menu.

After an Easter vacation hiatus, the Grogpublic of Rome has surged forward again, into the start of the Middle Provincial Era, so no doubt I'll be processing the current Senate Contract (and perhaps the Combat Phase) this weekend!

My Crisis Grogs mp game of Andean Abyss has humped over our first scoring round, wherein I discovered that my Cartel faction can just sit around during that Phase watching the other guys!  :bd: But I'm going to have a lot of catchup (and note taking) this afternoon.

Still happily burbling along on my mp games of Age of Wonders 3 and Lords of Waterdeep.

Lots of new games to play, including Imperator: Rome, Fade to Silence, U-boat, Dead in Vinland, Spintires and Mudrunner, Throne of Britannia, Oriental Empires (from a sale a little while back)....

I also need to get back to working on AoW: Sabreniece Magic videos, so I can delete the source files from my hard drive and free up some room!  :2funny:

It will be too nice outside on Saturday to be cooped up playing games. Get some errands run and sit on the deck.

Sunday is our deferred (from May 1st) 37th wedding anniversary celebration. A quiet day at home together is our way of marking the occasion.

Happy Anniversary Doc.

This weekend I continue with my TW - Wrath of Sparta campaign. It's one of the easier campaigns of TW I have played. I have almost finished it. The only TW campaign I can remember that was easier was the Medieval 2 Crusades campaign where I played as Egypt and won in under 20 turns 😎

Because of this, I have not yet started AssCreed Odyssey but hope to this weekend. Also some FoG2.

Hard to say what I'll be playing mostly this weekend.

Most definitely some of the new cold war DLC for ARMA 3, probably some Star Citizen, DCS and maybe Stellaris or Imperator: Rome?

Nice weather finally arriving on the weekend so time to open the pool and start building a new deck... which entails first demolishing the old deck...  :P

Games will probably U-Boat on PC and Dawn's Early Light on the table.

Movin' to the country, Gonna eat me a lot of peaches.

Headed to the woods for some R&R after about a month of being busy with family matters. Of course the grass will be HUGE. So that sucks.

But I'm bringing my computer so anything is possible. Mius Front probably. I'm still in the throes of a gaming slump.

This time of the year there aren't many fresh peaches so ...

Peaches come from a can
They were put there by a man
In a factory downtown


Uboat and Imperator Rome

Happy Anniversary Doctor Quest-- to you both in fact. Quiet weekend here so I'll be terrorizing the Deadfire in Pillars 2 in Sir Slash's new, and very expensive, War Dowh, the "Slasher". Be forewarned one and all, the Scourge of un-armed merchant men and defenseless pleasure yachts is here!

Presidents of the United States of America are horrid and cringeworthy.

But if you enjoy...go nuts 💩

Answering PBEM files and then some Armored Brigade and something from Paradox, I just don't know what yet.

That is my bugout song. Only one I know by them.

Doing good. Got to the property early after my wife had a second interview and a job offer, her second of the week. Put a new blade on the mower and it cut through this overgrown mess with ease. We've had a ton of rain around here with the rivers swollen and out of their banks on the larger ones and when we got to our cabin, the water from the lake was up in the yard and flowing over the spillway. And now the rain continues.

Panzer Campaigns: Japan 45 just took over whatever plans I had before.

Maybe some ASL as well.

Thank you my good man. She has been dissatisfied at work for a while and, with the job market being what it is, now was a great time for a change.

Seeing as the highly anticipated engine patches for Combat Mission were released last night, I'll likely just be bouncing between CM titles all weekend.

Plus, its finally May, so the weather (at least here) is quite nice. Spring is finally in full swing.

So...i have completed Predynastic Egypt...i really like the game. Then i was doing fine with Carthage in EU:Rome with new territory in Spain until one of my generals rebelled and took a good amount of my provinces and one of my main armies with him...while i was fighting this scum, the Nubians declared war on me...after a long fight, i had to give up  L:-)...I've started now a new campaign in Spartan with...Sparta.
