Yeah, we last had this song on the Friday thread in 2016. Once every 6 years is not too much for such a classic:
Me? BoC work. Still trying to find the time to do some Combat Mission. And write up the Kernstown AAR from the game that ArizonaTank and I finished.
Probably one of REM's best.
Going to try to get some time with Ready or Not. A big update dropped this week. I also recently re-installed RDR2, so maybe I'll jump back into that.
Everyone enjoy.
Recovering from whatever plague I had for about three weeks, this track is appropriate.
Working through the Obsidian medieval text RPG Pentiment...it can be funny as hell but requires a lot of reading.
Also getting ready to play a Wallachian campaign in the 1212AD mod for Attila: Total War and finally getting to Assassin's Creed: Revelations (Ottoman Turkey).
And clearing the decks for the release of Knights of Honor: Sovereign, next Tuesday!

Agree. A timeless classic.
Now that i am back from Bolivia, think i'll play some Interstellar Space Genesis with the last update. That before i'll be playing Knights of Honor 2 only next.
Have a good weekend

Good song! and as for me: boardgames and Hell Let Loose.
Well lately I've been a boardgame kick but will be doing some playtesting for WDS and I need to get set up to keep working on Flashpoint Campaigns: Southern Storm. Started a Distant Worlds 2 game and just picked up the rest of the Combat Mission games that I didn't have. Always something to play at my house. However after getting asked for the divorce by the wife 4 months ago I have met someone who is really making me happy and I plan on spending as much time with her as she can stand.
^Nice.
Got two RPGs (table-type) that are set to read on the Kindle: Weird Frontiers and the latest iteration of Cthulhu Dark Ages so keen on this.
Computer-wise, I'm not sure to be honest. Something "shooty," doubtlessly but what is tbd.
Adios, amigos!
There are many games I want to play this weekend but I'll probably end up playing Christmas Home Decorating 2022 most of all. But if I get a break I'd like to play:
Imperiums Rome vs Carthage: will start the process of learning the game
Attila - Medieval Kingdoms 1212 ad mod - working on a Duchy of Burgundy faction playthrough.
Skyrim - for the dungeon exploring
Wasteland 3 - just starting to get into this game.
Have a Great Weekend All!
Continuing my Shadow Empires game. Farthest I've ever played (130 turns) and am busy stomping my enemy's Heavy Tanks with my Heavy Walkers.
War in the East 1 when I get the time and working-in some football, chicken wings and alcohol in between. Have a great weekend Grogs. O0
Anguille it's funny you just mentioned Knights of Honor 2. Prompted me to check Steam.
Now I'm on Steam almost everyday and when I do log in I always check my wishlist. I could have sworn last night I did not see Knights of Sovereign 2 being released December 6.
This changes everything for me as far as gaming goes. I'm not sure what I'll be doing until that game comes out and this is only a prelude to what I really can't wait for.
Imagine how earth shattering it would be if you checked your Steam wishlist and found that The Great War: The Western Front was being released "today". I don't know about you guys but my world would come to a screeching halt as I wouldn't be able to focus on anything else except that game.
^It was me but Anguille is as much a KoH fan as I am and who's counting anyway.
KoH: Sovereign and The Great War are my two most anticipated releases in a long, long time and did in fact transform my reading and gaming schedule to come!
.....Its Last of the Mohicans, its Redcoats & Montcalm, its "Wilderness War" using Stuka Joe's solo CDG system. Non board gamers will not know what the hell I'm on about :)

Speaking of which:
That Sovereign thing looks fantastic!!!
O0 A mere four days away

Oopsies. Yep I see that now. You were first.
Great video btw. Yeah I'll purchase both of these games sight unseen with no questions asked on day one. LOL!
I dunno why 4 days feels so far away when I've been waiting 3 years for KoH.
^Not to be a Debbie Downer but think how worse it will feel at 8am on release day, stuck in a cubicle at work, watching the clock take an hour to click past one minute.
I dread that more than the wait of 4 days.
:'(

I know exactly what you're talking about as I'm subscribed to Stuka Joe's channel. :)
Now here's one for you. What movie is this quote from?
"They stay where they lay."*Hint a clue is buried somewhere in your own words
Shadow Empire.
Have a nice weekend !
Lots of Darktide.
The Emperor protects!

I'd be cheating as I'm just watching the film at the moment - just passed that scene! As an aside, the game WW is by Volko Ruhnke. Now, as I'm playing it I'm watching Lot Mohicans & reading Fred Anderson's book "The War that made America" - I consider that quite immersive, however, on a recent interview Volko Ruhnke said that when he's designing a game, aside from the vast amount of research he evidently does, he also plays music from the period AND eats food from the period - now that's commitment to design! (and IMO it shows in his games)
Outside decorating duties this weekend so limited time, that is unless it rains. For SP gaming it will be the new Flashpoint game, and reinstalled Deathwing to give that a go again. Have 4 PBEMs going.
Hell, which I think is the Panzer Corps engine, I'm the Demons this time.
BattleSector which we just finished our first go with this game in PBEM. I lost as the Imperium so we'll run this again.
Valor/Victory, the long 25 turn Arnhem scenario. Turn 16 and my perimeter is pretty small, and some new German units just showed up with some Stugs. I'm hoping to make turn 20. I've done some damage but they just keep coming. One thing....I haven't been able to figure out why my damn piat's wont fire. Haven't fired once the whole game. Can they fire from a building? Only reason i can think of why they won't fire. My highlight was taking out a Tiger with a lucky 6lber shot.
Flashpoint Campaigns 1- Just finished this morning, a marginal victory for my Nato troops in the Rhino scenario.
Have a good weekend

Haha! I knew you would know what movie I was referring to. You're right though Volko is committed to his designs. You can almost feel his enthusiasm through playing any of his games.
Finally getting into WarPlan Pacific. I like the contrast to the Strategic Command games. They both offer excellent differences in play. Also continuing my SCWAW game with Gaming with the Colonel.
I won my first game of Interstellar Space: Genesis and have now taken a break to dust off Wildermyth, which I purchased but never played back around the time it came out. So far, I find it quite delightful, but I do worry that the combats might get a bit grindy if I have to complete too many of them.
