Dammit Carl!

My schedule is much like MetalDog's; yard washing and dog mowing... ???

Other than that, and studying for an upcoming service test (and playing Rocksmith 2014), I've only got eyes for War Thunder, baby.

Finally accrued enough power to enter the DLC of Dragon Age Inquisition while Pillars of Eternity, Mad Max and Grand Ages Medieval all beckon, while gorging myself on season 5 of The Walking Dead in time for the season 6 debut!

So far it's been Star Wars: Battlefront (SWB).  I will probably spend some more time with that tonight.

I'm feeling in the mood for something modern.  Maybe more Op Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, ARMA 3, or SABOW...not sure yet.

MGSV Phantom Pain has sucked me into its strange universe big time. I'm not sure where the tipping point was between "this is pretty cool -- but want to play some other games too" and "can't...stop...playing...becoming...obsessed" -- but I've apparently crossed that threshold. The way this game opens up, in terms of new possibilities and mechanics, as you go along is pretty amazing -- and I'm only "14% complete".

Is that an Aerosmith song? "Washing the dog"?

Are those Klingon BCs in Romulan service or is that a combined fleet? Who are the white counters?

Those are all Romulan ships courtesy of the Treaty of Smarba (Y159).  :P
The white counters are Gorn.

that looks an interesting project on a computer screen
gameleaper, nothing fancy, just a big Vassal module.  :)

Federation and Empire! FTW!
That's in VASSAL? Is it the official module from Amarillo? Man if we could get a full war scenario going of that...... although I've only played the original version without all the add-ons.

Me too.  And this weekend I'll be playing a lot of DCS beta 1.5 -- which looks very good and it looks like the MIG21bis can carry a lot more missiles.  But that could be a placebo effect of the beta.

DC Case Blue for me. I've got a real love/hate relationship going on with this game. It lets me win a little bit then bitch-slaps me back down. I get frustrated, then depressed, then angry and vow never to play it again. Then, I just go back to have a look at the map positions and see something that might work. And try it. And it does. And I get excited thinking I've won the war in Russia. And then..... you know how this ends. Right now I'm between bitch-slaps so I'm loving it. Post next bitch-slap will probably be POE just because it's so damned pretty.

I know the feeling. Much as I love the game, the thing that drives me most crazy is the unbalanced air-war, which doesn't reflect reality. The swarming defense of the Soviet air force is infuriating, in summer '42 -- the Luftwaffe gets depleted by autumn. The German player *really* needs the LW trump card against the Red Hordes, at least in the first stages of Case Blue.

I hope DC3 solves this -- esp. since the VVS was a shambles by the early weeks of Barbarossa.

^Was thinking the same myself.


I'll be playing Heroes and Generals (great game btw), a little bit of the Star Wars: Battlefront Beta, Wargame Red Dragon, and whatever else I have time for.

Sunday though I plan on going to the Collings Foundation to view the "Battle for The Airfield" living history event!   O0

Played a little Alea Jacta Est, learning as I go (Ager Gallicus scenario) so far already.   I got a minor victory, which didn't seem too bad though I was on the easiest AI level.   I am also going to play my usual World of Warcraft, and I think maybe some Carriers at War.   I like, not love, that game, but i want to at least give it more of a shot.

So close! I'm calling it Federation Space 2. It's a brand new creation loosely based on Lyran Space 2.0 by Byron Henderson, which is a really nice print&play update of Federation Space. It is Vassal and should be playable multiplayer with a few edits once I finish testing.



Niiice!

I also thought it was F&E at first, but going with an off-shoot of it's predecessor is more appealing since it's not quite so massive and rules heavy. 

Had been wanting a campaign layer for generating Fed/Klingon Commander battles without the need for using long-term table space.  A vassal module like this would be absolutely perfect!  Looking forward to seeing it.

Airborne Rifles

CMANO for me if I can get some time away from incoming house guests. Hopefully I'll get back on track with my NF5 AAR as well!
