With all this talk about Wuhan virus, I figured we needed to get the Friday thread off too a Rocking good start!
Civil War II AAR for me. I promise! :)
For some reason the last couple of days I have this song on my mind ...
Gaming wise it will be Command Modern Operations and Battlestar Galactica.
Not much else to do : Bars and restaurants are closed. No sporting or cultural events. No theaters or cinema. Shops must close in the weekend. Public live is on hold over here for at least 3 weeks.

Oh, jus' goin' to fly my planes and tootie-toot in my Uboot/Fleet Boot through DCS, Il2, and SH 3&4 and get my shooty-shoot via Arma 3. We'll have to see about anything else.
Stay healthy, folks!

Belgium
USA-Michigan for me. Just today all the schools are closing for 4 weeks. Malls, restaurants, etc. are still open. Good luck and stay healthy.
Erik from Norway has posted a ton of Order of Battle WW2 Campaigns (not scenarios, Campaigns) on the Slitherine Website.
I'm playing Germany West 1939-40.
In between boiling my hands and guzzling Purell, I am in the 2nd act of my Diablo III necromancer campaign and may start playing the recent Terminator game. Order of Battle also beckons as does a Fall of the Samurai campaign.
I'm going with some classic Campaign Series (East Front) fighting as the Germans trying to reach the Volga.

In Attila 1212...after Crushing the Venetians in Alexandria, the Kingdom of Antioch is going to take Mecca cuz that little Empire down there keeps burning down Jerusalem and its getting expensive. I'm blowing my cash reserves on a wierd-looking bunch of cavalrymen who claim to belong to "the Order"...well at least they are cheap and maybe they won't survive their little trip to Mecca so I won't have to pay their upkeep. But we will see.
I need time to play 1212 soon.
More The Division 2 this weekend. Almost reached my level cap. I have yet to purchase Warlords of New York due to the household demand for toilet paper and food stockpiles. *looks at girlfriend*
Stay safe and wash your hands, Grogs!
Groggy
Well i think the next couple of weeks will let me catch up on some things.
Like Witcher 3
Or Division 2
Or MTG:A
Or Oxygen not Included
And so on and so forth.

We got to Mecca and found they were friendly and not the source of the compulsive arsonist in Jerusalem. The expedition was not a complete waste; the expensive ruffians (not even in "The Order" but some local imitation wearing half-Saracen half-quilted armor) found the main force of the Evil Sultan and wiped it out -- inflicting an 8 to 1 kill ratio even (the guys with red sleeves and quilted armor are the expensive ruffians):

From looking at the files, I think there are an amazing 26 scenarios in this campaign. Once I got a handle on how he sets up victory conditions I did not have any problems - until I was defending against an all-out Polish counter-attack. Lost that scenario twice before I won it.
All I know is I AM NOT WORKING THIS WEEKEND..............................................
Everything else is trivial.

Come join us in the Arena! They just put in a big update and added a chat function and some more goodies. I'll PM you my handle if you'd like.
So I guess that means at least Arena for me. Have to grind out some more victories to cash the weekly bonus. I am building a green/black deck. Just got Sorin Planeswalker last night and that should give the deck just the right kick.
I am also sure my buddy will catch me for some Civ IV mp.

Sure thing MD, send it on over!
Sent!
Started a new campaign in
Stellaris, and maybe I'll finally get a chance to start tackling
Rome II and the DEI mod? Here's hoping!

Yes, you do. In fact, you should start a new campaign of that instead of FotS. 8)
^Damn you. Give me three reasons why!
1.) Immersion & atmosphere is top-notch (even with the Attila-era buildings yet to be replaced): Art style, graphics, text descriptions, and music (lord, the music!) all combine to deliver what is honestly a pretty amazing experience.
2.) The 57 playable factions makes for an almost-ridiculous amount of replayability.
3.) Medieval 3 probably won't be made anytime soon (you & I will almost certainly be well into our 50's by the time it comes out), and you know dang well you desperately need your fix before then. ;)
4.) I will alternately nag/guilt-trip you endlessly if you don't. >:D
Goddammit you're right again.
:D
Hey, I'm just saying you owe it to yourself to at least take it out for a spin, especially given how much I know you heart certain other TW titles. (Incidentally, your excellent review of the XL mod was one of the things that first drew me to this community.) If, on the off-chance you decide you don't care for the 1212 mod -- it would surprise me, but stranger things have happened -- Fall of the Samurai will still be there. 8)
I can't believe you still remember that XL review.

Neither can I. :P
The human brain is a funny thing: I can't remember what I had for supper two days ago, but that review sticks out in my mind for some reason, even 15 years later. ::)
