The Division Open Beta will be played quite a bit. And I'll dive back in to either XCom 2 or The Crew.

Still spending time installing programs and games following my HDD failure. Very happy I was using Norton Ghost to back up my hard drives.

But I have time for the following:

CMRT PBEM
Company of Heroes
Men of War

You're welcome for the Ratt. And yes Bon Jovi is definitely better than Chevelle. Hate to side with The Commander but there you have it.

So far all I've played is Scourge of War. I booted up a user-created scenario on the Chancellorsville map. As Jackson for the CS, the scenario is where Jackson went around the Union lines and attacked the exposed Union right flank. I played it using couriers only.

For the most part it seemed like it was going ok, but a few things I can't figure out. For example, I'll order a Division Commander to move his troops to a spot and tell him to attack enemy to his front. He will usually do this with his infantry, but I simply could not get artillery to deploy, even when I eventually gave the artillery commanders tailored directions. They'll move, but not unlimber and attack. Also, sometimes not all of a division will move.

I ended up losing the scenario because it's a timed one and I exceeded the time to capture the objectives, and mostly that was because I couldn't get my artillery to provide counter-battery and supporting fires to augment my assaults.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Despite that, I always come away amazed at what an outstanding wargame this series is. Graphics are the dog, but the gameplay is top notch, especially using couriers for orders.

I've played a small amount of Soviet Corps. It is polished and works like the other games in the series (Panzer Corps, Allied Corps, Afrika Corps) with the addition of Stalin looming in the background to have you shot if you fail a mission.

Mostly I've had to work.

All I've really played so far this weekend is NeonXSZ. In terms of sheer quality of gameplay it's right up there with the best. I can barely put it down, and that's saying something for me.

Finally got a chance to sit down at my gaming pc now and I am still in a space-y mood. Got Elite Dangerous and Homeworld ready to go and I also just reinstalled Endless Space...I see there is a DLC available for 9.99 called Disharmony that adds fighters, enhances combat, etc. Anyone have Disharmony?
