In Australia, it's Friday...

I will be checking out the new DLC for Wargame Red Dragon and continue my play through of The Witcher.

Hegemony Gold and Blackguards 2.

Hegemony Gold is making me want to finish my mod of the 2-D maps in Paul Bruffell's Ancient Warfare series, and Blackguards 2 is not a dumbed-down version of Blackguards, just streamlined and slightly different.

I haven't had any time for games other than WitW this week...no idea what I'll be doing game-wise. I do know I'm running the sound board for the local melodrama group this weekend, tonight and tomorrow night. My daughter had her 14th b-day last weekend but this weekend she's having friends over for the night tonight, after a school dance.

My computer added some updates that made some fonts kind of funky a few days ago, and I haven't played anything in that time so I don't know if this "update" f-d up my PC or not.

In brighter news my company's giving a bonus to us (thank goodness) and I might finally be able to get a new gaming rig. The one I have is going on 8 years old, lol.

Will probably be trying to figure out Wargame Red Dragon, picked up at the current sale, due to UCG's screenshots!

It's UI is easy to learn and use which can be a refreshing change from some of the other wargames.

I plan on doing some Red Dragon soon too.

Continuation of my Oriental campaign in the Khartoum & Zulu mod for Napoleon: Total War.

I'm expecting the arrival today of a new 512 GB SSD, so in order to break it's cherry I'm going to buy and install The Blue and the Gray ACW mod for Empire:Total War.

While most of the country is in the middle of winter, here in the Pacific NW it feels like spring. If the weather man is truthful we should have some sun and highs in the high 50s to low 60s. Hoping to get out and do some hiking and/or shooting.

I finally picked up Elite: Dangerous last weekend. Haven't been able to put too much time into it yet but I was able to spend a few hours setting up my X-55 and Track IR. With everything set up its time to really dive in. Command will be my other time sync, broken up by some Prepar3D and Heroes of the Storm.

Finished Jurassic Park: The Game this week (yep, it's a real JP story, with a deeper story and more rounded/dynamic characters than any of the movies or books); which inspired me to watch JP1 again (first time on Blu... lots of grainy noise kept from the print, which looks incredibly low-fi in dark scenes depending on the lighting, but otherwise a respectable transfer); which inspired me to watch A Bridge Too Far again (as it's the only Richard Attenborough-directed film I own; amusing to see the visual cues and stylisms which became Spielbergian style!)

Still doing Far Cry 3, likely will be for a long while to come as I'm clearly only about 1/3 of the way through the map(s).

Lack only one more thing (setting the initial reinforcement/upgrade schedule) before starting the gameclock on my Russian Darkest Hour:AARmod campaign.

Having finished several games recently, I may splurge a bit against my resolution and buy Darkest Dungeon or Deadnauts (or both). But hopefully I shall resist. :)

Might get back to my Ghostbusters game playthrough, which I've been generally impressed with.

Oh, and I'm learning to play Le Havre for my iPhone4.

A very crowded game on that phone, but a cleverly competent AI which plans ahead -- often leading to a Five Xanatos Pileup.

Long weekend thanks to Family Day on Monday! ;D

Probably get back to Far Cry 4, and likely keeping messing around with Darkest Dungeon and Sunless Sea.

It being Friday here in Singapore and me being an Australian qualifies me to comment in this thread...

The weekend has just started with a red wine and a full agenda of gaming 'work'.

I'll be working on the second Panzer Battles title for John Tiller as well as finishing up the patch for the first release (Kursk). All I can say is the new title will have French, British, Belgians and Dutch in action.

In between, I'll be delving into Elite : Dangerous and its new 1.1 patch (docking seems hard again!) and for those post 11pm sessions when I'm starting to nod off, Red Orchestra 2, the Red Bull of first person shooters.

I just love the France '40 PzC game. It's good to learn that one is being done for Panzer Battles. Is the new artwork similar to the Kursk game?

Skwerl · February 13, 2015, 10:05:08 PM

So far:

Sunless Sea
Warhammer 40,000 Armageddon

We have actually revamped the artwork for the first patch for Kursk. We have 'improved' the terrain graphics as well as the top down units (more 3D with depth and shading). These changes are optional and players can maintain the existing artwork if they like.

As far as the new title, it has all the above improvements and 'colourized' photos used for various units as per Kursk. All in all I'm happy with the look we have - it's a continued departure from the 'old style' John Tiller game.

Finally, this is a Western Front game but we aren't confirming the time period yet....

So I booted up Wargame Red Dragon which I picked up for 10 clams last week. All I can say is that somewhere between "Very Slow" and "Bullet Time" is my speed for these types of games.

Man alive but did I get my ass completely handed to me.

I started the game, put a bunch of infantry in towns with armor and IFV's behind the towns. The computer AI starts by flattening both towns with artillery...and I suppose you can kind of figure out how it went from there. :-[

Toonces · February 14, 2015, 02:41:20 PM

So far this weekend has been completely unexpected: Wargame:RD, Sanctuary RPG, and Malevolent RPG. No medieval gaming yet!
