I don't usually go for horrors. But the beasties in this were freakin awesome.

You cracked me up Senex :)

Hi everyone!!,

We are entering the final weekend of the campaign. We have already reached several of the goals and we are on the verge of hitting the €14,000 mark, which would unlock the Player Guides for both factions.

We are going to keep fighting to unlock what's left. :peace:

Thank you for your support, which has been incredible. 

Have a great weekend!  :azn:

Gordon Lightfoot, 1967.  One of his classics

As far as gaming.  I don't really know.  I'm trying to adopt a dog and break in some new astronomy gear, and process some photos, so gaming might have to take a backseat this weekend.  Possibly some more Task Force Admiral.

FYI it looks like they are making STALKER 2 available on Gamepass this weekend in case you wanted to see if it's worth it:

For myself 120hrs in now, this has become one of my favorite survival/exploration games of the last couple of years, really glad they stuck with it and made the game what it should have been at launch, and the DLC really adds a good area and stories to the game.

I think i'd prefer a more organised barrage system than an add hoc individual gun simulation. But this game does interest me from the perspective of how these guns operated in ww2.

Was the Japanese carrier force at Midway really five minutes from victory?
On 4 June 1942, Vice Admiral Chūichi Nagumo had to attack an island, find the American fleet, recover his aircraft, and keep his carriers alive, all with limited flight decks and dwindling time.
"Five Minutes from Victory? Rethinking Nagumo's Dilemma" follows the reports, orders, and flight operations that shaped his choices. Drawing on recent scholarship and a wargamer's eye for practical constraints, it explores the opportunities he missed, the risks of an earlier strike, and the enduring appeal of Midway's most famous story.

I made it back to streaming after a small hiatus into RL. What is the world coming to, eh? We returned to our invasion of Crete. It is still night and we are making some slow and steady progress. I took the opportunity to show you some effective assaulting in these old games and how to herd. Does it always go your way? No, but it is extremely rewarding when it does! Our Italian navy is getting closer to Chania, hopefully that will be helpful for the pending assault.
