Got in on some Warlock multiplay tonight. Good stuff.

LOL I was telling MD, after the game I went to check 'tomorrows' weather, and I'm like "Why does this say Sunday!!!, Tomorrow's Saturday!!".. I guess it's been awhile since I played through midnight!

Isn't it Stophro's turn? Geeze this guy takes his time in that game.

Tuna · June 29, 2013, 08:47:40 AM

I'd have to say the last couple games, Stophro has been screaming on his turns.. very fast!... lol.. I screwed up once last night and will never hear the end of it! ;D

And so it should. I'm having a moderately 18th-century week-end. Doing Okay vs AI in Rise of Prussia (keep in supply and let the Austrians run themselves all over while Frederick takes the big spots like Prague).

And Fontenoy as Ramecriox (invented scenario).

And some bloody fighting in the fog in ARMAIII -- recon OPfor with silencers vs Green Army with more men and even a truck. The truck is useful for drawing fire from the concealed recon OPFOR sometimes.

FWIW - those of you w/ Civ V DLC might want to check out the "Conquest of the New World" scenario. Short, compact, and interesting challenges. It's a tough one to win, and can be played in an easy afternoon

fwiw...i got classic gaming on the brain this weekend, thanks to GoG...
In the midst of Caesar III, B-17, and learning new Apache / Havoc. Maybe I'll post some screenies of my mission to the Heide Oil refinery!

Did you install that great mod for it??

Staggerwing · June 29, 2013, 05:02:11 PM

I'm assuming you didn't fly your Apache to the Heide Refinery...

(Even an A-36 wouldn't have had the range... :D)

^^Not yet. I am still getting used to the A/H controls. There is A LOT going on in this game, and it's too bad they don't have any tutorials.

So I spent the free-time in the weekend making some progress in Skyrim including finishing the Merida's Beacon quest. And what a great dungeon crawl the final quest was. I was truly lost part of the time in the dungeon twists and turns back on itself and the monsters and loot was just about right, not too easy, not too tough. If you haven't tried this quest out yet, I highly recommend it. :)

Played Distant Worlds for most of Saturday and Sunday. Stayed up late last night playing the ACW mod for ETW. Probably the most fun I've had with ETW. Definitely has that one more turn/battle feel.

The last fight in that dungeon can really suck if your not careful. Every time I do it I end up dying 2-3 times before I finally kill the boss.

Just got back from NYC the other day so I have not played anything really. Did get in a couple of Missions with Tuna and the group from SimHq on Iron Fron Saturday. I am currently wanting to get the Airbus X Extended down so I hope to be doing several flights with it this week. With all the screens of the Civil War mod, I will have to download that one as well......

I'm not sure if I did that quest, but I do remember one dungeon crawl where I got truly lost. Even with the map I couldn't find my way back out. I was playing at night with the lights off and a few beers in me and I no shit started getting a bit creeped out. I had cleared most of the monsters, but the environmentals, the wind and creaking and all that crap along with an increasing feeling of desperation of not finding the exit really started to spook me out a bit.

I spent the entire weekend working through one single scenario in Combat Mission Battle for Normandy.

I'm playing the second mission of the "Courage and Fortitude" campaign on Iron difficulty, using the latest version of CMBN where they've made machine guns much more lethal. In this scenario you have to take and cross a stone bridge in a flooded valley and advance on a German held hill. This is almost no cover. You have 90 minutes and your reinforcements trickle in over the course of the first hour. I'm playing turn-based.

A couple of times I probably could have squeaked out a victory with a brute force push and accepted the casualties. Every video I've watched ends with a third or more of the American battalion as causalities. I just can't accept that - this is a campaign, and I may need this battalion in good shape later. So, I keep working through new approaches...

Last try tonight. If this doesn't do it I'm taking the loss!
