Some of you are in the midst of a long weekend for America's birthday. To those of you who are, I say :P, I gotta work today. But, when I get home, there will be gaming goodness awaiting me! It'll be the usual suspects, Civ IV BTS MP and whatever else strikes my fancy. And that itch that can't be scratched in public (no, not THAT itch), the AAR itch, is getting scratchy again. Not sure if or what I will do, but we'll see.
Bought XCOM: EU during the GreenMan 666 sale this week fer about $10, includes main game and both DLC's. Been playing that and will continue this weekend. Fun, interesting game so far.
Impatiently waiting for CiV Brave New World to unlock.... Come on July 9th!!!!
More In Defeat Defiance AAR to do.
Also playing new iOS game - War of the Zombie. Somewhat like XCOM but with zombies. Lots of bugs but still fun. First patch is due out soon.

I'm working today as well. And I vote yes for another of your AARs!
This weekend will probably involve playing Minecraft now that the 1.6 patch is out. Also I want to possibly start a new campaign in Shogun II or Crusader Kings II. Oh and there is the Far Cry 3 campaign I want to finish.......
I'm at the office. I'm clocked in. I'd be hesitant to characterize my activities as "work" though ;)
I've got another playtest design I'm goign to monkey around with. Still searching for that perfect and elusive civ/city builder that's a 90-minute, multi-player, low-overhead game.
My current Marvel Heroes Online arpg addiction.
Maybe some more Card Hunter beta too.
Tonight I might jump on BF3 for some online stuff (I've only got 7 hours under my belt online for that bad boy!) or Far Cry 3
Tomorrow is the final British and Irish Lions test game against the Wallabies. It's 1-1 on a 3 test tour - so this is the big bugger! COME ON YOU LIONS! I'll be drinking obviously so no gaming is likely to get done.
Sunday I'm going for KA-50 - I really need to get the trim worked out. I can now take off from cold (albeit with a startup sheet), but flying it I'm kind of all over the place! I might also do another flight in FSX for my Air Hauler company - just to keep the money ticking over.
I'll also "convalesce" by painting my 1/35 Scale Challenger II ( I did actually get some done last week but progress is slow - there are ALOT of fiddly wee bits!)
And that will do me.
This weekend I'll be playing DCS trying to learn the Russian fighters and lots and lots of Wargame Airland battle.
I'll be playing some Distant Worlds (finishing my last game and then installing Shadows which I grabbed yesterday).
Alea Jacta Est , which I started last week..
Probably some more of my Brothers vs Brothers ETW game.. though the frequent crashes do piss me off with that one..
And if the right combinations of people are on tonight, maybe continue some Warlock MP tonight!
It's going to be driving the car this weekend ....going on vacations... 8)
There will be some awesome Endless Spacing with me man Huw as we unleash on the game runaway leaders the Sowers and the Automotons
A bit of dom 3-ing but most games have been stalled til after the weekend because you americans are setting off fireworks or something
and definitely some Shogun-ing (downloading FOTS) and some Wargame:ALB, as long as i can avoid a team partner calling me 'a nipple covered f***tard' again!
And off the parental leash i may also be Sim HQ-ing with Iron Front
I'm up to my ankles in Mujahedin and Iranians over in Afghanistan. My Soviet reactionary force is steadily advancing in a GT: Shield of the Prophet campaign. However, casualties are steadily mounting. I had a rough series of contacts in the dark of night and early morning hours that really hurt the tip of my spear. Reserves were released in the South, so hopefully opening up an advance on a new front will take some of the pressure off.
Anyway, it will be questionable how much gaming I get done this weekend. My mom is leaving today and so its going to be a long weekend of wifey and me alone with the baby...might end up playing the diaper changing DLC...

I have tried twice to beat the Iranians and muj as the Soviets in this game and I just can't do it. I just lose to many tanks to keep up momentum. Seems like they always see me before I see them

In general, I've managed to keep a casualty rate of close to 5:1. For instance, so far, I have lost approximately 60 KIA to their approximate 330 KIA. Add in wounded/captured/missing figures, and the numbers increase even more in my favor. However, I suffered a number of setbacks in late night/early morning combats that have stunned me, and may signal a turning tide. I too lost several tanks over the course of these battles, which took place between the hours of 2300 and 0400. My heaviest losses occurred due to ambushes.
I agree, in the pitch of night, I found it unusual that these guys were sitting out there just waiting for me and my units would not discover their locations until we were right in front of them and they had already launched their attacks, or worse, we had passed them and they were engaging us from the rear.
My plan is to try to stabilize my thrust in the east and attempt to reorganize, repair and refit, while I launch an aggressive attack in the South with newly released reserve forces. The Southern reserve force is comparatively small, but I'll see what they can do...
Closing in on a win as Saga in FOTS, making steady progress as the Byzatines in M2TW- Sicilian Vespers, and will visit my Breezehome north of Solitude in Skyrim. Probably needs cleaning and I want to make sure no damned giants are hanging around. That mammoth shit is hell to clean-up. 8)
Going to enjoy my last few days of vacation. Didn't get as much gaming in a I wanted too. The heat wave early in the week was just miserable, and I spent most of my time just trying to keep my apartment cool. Going to spend today running around to a few gun stores looking for a new gun, so that will limit my gaming during the day. If I get a new gun that will further cut down on gaming time, since I'm going to have to go break it in at the range or more probably up in the mountains.
Tonight will be spent trying to get MOO3 patched and modded. I couldn't get the Gamersgate version to work, so purchased the GOG version on sale and that actually runs on Windows 8. Now if I can could just get Norton to stop flagging the Tropical mod stuff as a virus. Could it be because the MOO3 mods make changes to the exe?
I'm also going to continue my new Distant Worlds Shadows campaign as the Ackdarian's. My campaign as the Wekkarus came to an end early in the week when a pirate faction raided my home system. Raided my homeworld, destroyed the space port, destroyed all but a few of the systems mines. Was game over, really no way to recover from that.
Also on deck for this weekend is Vicky 2 HOD, WW1 Gold, AJE, and Wargame ALB.
Looking like some CK II and Xenonauts. I have gotten down the Airbus X Extended so some flights with it and maybe check out Evil Genius and Civil War mod. I have plenty of others, but not totally sure what's up for the weekend. A start over of Distant Worlds Shadows maybe.

Same...night battles. Even when I am on defense and not moving, all of a sudden my tanks will start taking fire and exploding...several seconds later I will begin seeing the enemy. Like they have NVGs or something. AI cheat? Anyway, it's still a great game
The Iranian tanks should have better NV gear than the Soviets. If you look at the stats page after the battle when fighting the Muj, you'll often see that the AI puts them in single file and makes them crawl everywhere. Oftentimes the battle will time out before they can even get close to your position but when they can get close to you, they're hard to spot in that formation and they have an annoying habit of ruining your day with RPGs. I found that sacrificing the remnants of a dismounted tank crew to act as as picquet would often catch them before they reached my main force.
I think I did alright in my campaign playthrough but didn't grab my objectives quickly enough. That's why it ended as a draw.
Also on the last few days of vacation. In between sweating my ass off outside and passing out in the a/c, I will be playing as the Brits in Africa in some modded Civ V. Also preparing to launch a big campaign as the Choshu in Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai.

I would expect the Iranians to have superior armor...however, I wouldn't really expect them to know how to use it effectively, or to maintain it all.
Interesting points about the AI tactics.
I've been playing a fair bit of Armada 2526 Supernova and Medieval Total War/Viking Invasion (with XL mod) the last day or two. I'm also feeling the need for some good old-fashioned RPG action, so I'll maybe play some Neverwinter Nights or Baldurs Gate as well.
Mainly Civ V A Mod of Ice and Fire mod as Charles Dance the Lannisters and probably some more Rise of Prussia Gold and some Fallen Enchantress : Legendary Heroes
OT - if you like AGOT and SKA you might find this amusing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ei_36wQjaQ
I will continue to get best up by Iranians in Shield of the Prophet
Also going to try a MOO3 campaign for the first time. Looks real deep so I should have a blast
First and foremost, some
Endless Space with Geek. We're both languishing in the middle of the table with two AI players way out in front. Naturally, we've
foolishly bravely gone to war with both of them!
Rift 'cause it's ace.

From what I recall of playing his tank sim, where most of the stuff in this DLC came from, the western tanks that the Iranians sport may have better night vision equipment (if the Russkies had any at all) and perhaps it's also more widespread in their forces.

Congrats 'Phro!
Now this is a good excuse...congrats...
Thank you, gents. She is the apple of my eye and she loves to play games! Maybe not Warlock or Civ, but, I am sure I can talk her in to learning some board or card games. And what more could a man really ask for?
OK, just in the interest of public discourse: if "she loves to play games" is a euphemism for something, we'd rather not know.
Well, maybe Star wants to know, so he can offer some pointers.
But leave the rest of us out of it. :)
I don't know. I could at least do with an After Action Report. :-*

The situation is actually a bit complicated, but, a reaffirmation of what we already felt was the direction we were taking prompted me to write, "(future) Mrs." The question has not been popped, but a, "Yes," is assured.
Congrats MD! I hope the future holds so much happiness for you that ecstasy would seem like depression!

Starting to lose interest in my Europe Game as Rome in Civ 5. Although it's been a real competitive game, it's no doubt going to last past the 9th and I'll never finish it. I'll probably bide my time with The Pit or something.
Story so far:-
Ass handed to me in Endless Space with my galalctic sidekick Huw
Ass handed to me by 'Easy' AI on Wargame:ALB whilst i figure out a few things
Downloading SII:TW FOTS - Bob made me - and at £7 on sale it couldnt be missed - it can wait til the vanilla campaign is done though
edit - downloading it now from GG but it appears to be over writing the SII TW files and not installing a new game, i thought FOTS was a stand alone - either GG have associated the wrong game with their activation key or im just been impatient - ill know in 2 hours
Thanks again to all the fellas for your good wishes. I told the (future) Mrs. that we have been blessed with good vibes from all over England, Canada and the United States. She was duly impressed :)
As for gaming, all i have accomplished is giving myself something ELSE to see through to the end: a Civ IV BTS AAR. Thanks for those who spoke and said they were following and thanks for those who are following silently. Hope all of you enjoy my (inevitable) demise ;)
I have read some feedback that says the DLC Disharmony makes the AI unbearably hard. I saw that it is on sale for $4.99 but there are some that state it is not worth it for now and are going back to the classic.

Pretty much the usual:
ARMAIII, Rise of Prussia and some board games: Panzerblitz2 and Fontenoy.
Things went as expected in terms of games played. They all were more fun than expected -- I guess the ARMAIII beta editor can be pretty
good. I've been pitting the Green Army against the Opfor and playing the same scenario from each side. The fog lifts and the sun comes up
and after I while I'm on one side or the other trying to hunt down the last AI survivors with any weapons I can scrounge from the wreckage.
