I'm struggling to decide to buy
Skies Above World War 1 or whatever that game is. Sorry I can't remember anything anymore.
Also I will be playing some
Fallout New Vegas and whatever else tickles me.
Have a great weekend guys!
Very sad, but good song
For me? Trying to figure out if I can use AI to write some description files for ships for CMO. Right now, I don't think AI can do a credible job on this project. BoC work. Packaging up the submissions for judging in the Flashpoint Campaigns Christmas tournament. Possible a few turns in my Rule the Waves AAR.

I really enjoyed Fallout New Vegas, played it all the way to the end. A lot of great quests, storylines and tough choices to make. Currently playing some WDS Napoleonic and ACW stuff.
Trying out Call to Arms: Gates of Hell - Ostfront for the first time. Perhaps some Easy Red 2, Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter and Order of Battle as well.

I've been waffling hard on Dune Imperium. Is it worth it for solo play?
Cyberpunk 2077 plus the DLC has taken over my life.

All I have played is 4 or 5 solo games so far and I have only won once. The AI is good and that's only on Medium. Will be a while before I try it on Hard. No idea if it cheats or not.
Will be answering PBEM files and have a Vassal game of Death Valley on Saturday. Going to be a teaching moment for the GBACW games. Will be my third Vassal session this week and the first two have been enjoyable moments. Time allowing I will also be doing a bit of testing for WDS.
War Thunder ships still. I plan to vary my gaming again once I get top tier on one nation done. Then I am a casual player again.

Going retro: Mig Alley. Continuing an on-going "Spring Offensive Campaign" by taking out some key bridges. I think I'll stay flying F-80s and F86 as BARCAP.

This runs on modern systems!? :TimeOut:
Been feelin the ick for all week and am just feeling mostly human again the past day or so. So, puttering about the place, finally putting in all those Alexa doohickys the Mrs. wanted (great, now the Man knows we listen to Sinatra) and laundry has been my bag for the past few.
I'm no mind for stategeries, so WoT and WT are my speed for the present and once the cough medicine kicks in, then we'll see some fun!

MA runs well on the same win7/64 bit machine I use for BOB2 but it failed for me on win 10 testing. however, I have seen other players reporting some success with 10.

Man, MiG Alley was awesome. Oh, please Microsoft....please...

Yes, it was. I'm surprised no one has revisited it. Does the DCS Sabre campaign even come close to MA?

Are you soloing the Andean Abyss? It's great playing it on the Rally the Troops site since it is rules enforced. I've probably played 20 or 30 games of this there.

Yes it does, with a very good F—86 model-of course and there is a good campaign available "F-86F Hunters over the Yalu Campaign" (the WWII assets package is needed too). But for me it (DCS) did not have the immersion or feel of the Korean War like the SO campaign in MA. The developer (Rowan), had a way combining wargame and simulation in their games.

A few years ago I went through a heck of a journey to get MiG Alley to play on a modern system. The short answer is its highly dependent on your configuration but almost certainly won't work on anything post-Win 7. I'm actually something of a nut about getting Win 98-era games like this running and MiG Alley is literally the very worst and crankiest of probably over 100 games I've tried with respect to compatibility on modern Windows. Glorious game though.

Not the built-in one, because MA has that great dynamic campaign system. However, DCS Liberation (free dynamic campaign generator) is in a pretty awesome state, and of course the level of detail of the simulation is massively better in DCS.
Great song but my personal favorite is the Juice Newton version.
Gaming will be limited to X4 and some Combat Mission.

Is this game MMO only? Can it be played offline, solo vs the ai ?
^I've asked that for a while and the answer is pretty much 'not really' to my great disappointment.
Feel better Carl. And when you do start working on a modern version of MiG Alley please. For all grogkind.

I agree as I had a big crush on Juice Newton when I was a kid! But this Billie Davis version I discovered recently touched my heart as well.

I just discovered their are both coop missions (but none I could see for naval) AND custom missions that are 10 seconds to create and start on your own with an option for the bots to take any missing human places, which is all of them. I just started a 64 player match with all bots except me. Not sure if you get any progression in this mode though.
It is possible if I test this more I may be able to get friends to join vs bots. I will experiment with it more when I have time.
A lot of games especially at the lower tiers end up with each side being 10 a side bots apart from 1 or 2 humans on each side. Coastal craft matches especially seem to be devoid of humans.
There is a training mode where a lot of ships can be test driven and a lab where shell types against any ships armour can be tested at whatever angle you please.

Seems like you're enjoying WT Ships. Is the progression system prohibitively grindy and expensive like WT Tanks?

Yes, I'm soloing AA - I have looked at Rally the Troops (for AA & I also own Wilderness Wars) and it does seem a very good platform. I'm fortunate in that since my son left home I have a "games room" & can keep AA set up between plays, and still quite enjoy the benefits of a physical board game, but RTT is definitely on my radar.
Hmm - how satisfying is it to play against bots in the World of Ships/Tanks games?
In other gaming news: it has been many years since I played and actually finished the main quest of Skyrim. I miss it, so I am going to get the Skyrim Anniversary Upgrade and then the Wabbajack mod manager. The game has evolved so much since my last playthrough it looks to be an entirely new experience.
Any of you still playing Skyrim? Anyone use Wabbajack?

You damn right.
(fond memories of making my P-80 into the sexiest lawn dart after diving at speed, hearing a "boom," and noting that indeed, my wings were not up to such a zany move after all...gotta respect that in a sim.)
Well I did break down and bought Skies Above the Great War over the weekend.
Game is still in early access and quite buggy at that. I've posted some of my findings over at Steam and the developer has responded.
Game is somewhat playable in it's current state but only if you limit your session to one continuous play through. Save game files don't seem to retain campaign situation upon reload.
I have hope for this game but if you're on the fence I advise to wait a bit.
^I bought it to support the idea for now, something I rarely do...but once/if it gets finished it looks like it would be a dream game for me.

That's what made me ultimately decide to buy. This guy seems honest and I also want to support him. Even with the bugs I so can tell this is going to be an addicting game once it's finished.
