Some WWII Combat Mission now my collection is complete on Steam.
Enjoy the weekend !
Enshrouded and No Man's Sky.
Still judging the Flashpoint Campaign tournament. I may do the tutorials in B-17 redux, but probably not get much beyond that. Possibly another 6 months of my Rule the Waves 3 AAR.

The Troop and Hell let Loose plus boardgames.
I've been dabbling in Harpoon Commander's Edition all day.
About to fire up Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter and/or Cold Waters with the Dot Mod.
Still playing ships. I have the HMS Hood now so the initial grind is over. Meaning I just relax and enjoy the game at any level with friends. Watched the old black and white film sink the Birsmarck on youtube. Enjoyable still.

I watch "Battle of Britain," via YouTube at least twice a year, and I've been binging the shit out of WW2TV while working on reports this past few weeks. For example:
Fellow does a really good job (imho) bringing new-ish perspectives into the nooks and crannies of WW2 topics.
Still truckin' with my Wot/WoWs but have sprinkled
Insurgency:Sandstorm into the mix as of late. Think I'm of the mind that a shooter needs to be "locally played," with bots for me to be really get my monies' worth in terms of exploring maps/loadouts at my own pace and Insurgency does just that.
Carl- John McManus is the historian we use for the Burden of Command game. https://burdenofcommand.com/team . He wrote a really good history of the 7th Infantry Regiment titled "American Courage, American Carnage" in addition to numerous other works: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=books+by+john+mcmanus&language=en_US&adgrpid=1235852059302282&hvadid=77240884175106&hvbmt=bp&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=86943&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvtargid=kwd-77241002675371%3Aloc-190&hydadcr=10735_13589227&tag=txtstdbgdt-20&ref=pd_sl_8rl0sn1y4f_p

Love his videos!
More Dominions 6 for me!
Still digging into Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader. Such a glorious game and so many heretics to purge. Huge game too, I was 30 hours in before my first space battle.
I did manage a few hours of Flying Circus Vol III for a couple of hours in VR today though. Having fun flying the 1916 Crates.

I actually avoid ww2TV but it's okish. They just seemed a little rushed, general and popularist for my tastes. That's just the feeling I got when it popped up on my feed a few weeks ago out of nowhere.
I liked Mark Felton stuff but a lot of that is now kinda bite sized general stuff. I think he was copping a lot of FLAK (no pun intended) for some of his stuff. He covered some pretty sensitive stuff.
TIK's battlestorm stuff is amazing and so does "the operations room".

Felt like I achieved something when he (TIK) finally wrapped his Stalingrad series after watching them all these years. If/when he puts all of those episodes together into one cohesive lump to consume, even Dan Carlin will go, "damn!"

He kind of has already. Just a playlist of the individual episodes, but they are all together.
