Happy weekend fellow, Grogs!!  And it couldn't have got here sooner!  It's been one of those weeks where time plays tricks on you and a four day work week feels like forty :(  Fear not!  FRIDAY is finally here!!!!!  The weekends festivities will include lawn mowing!  Laundry doing!  House cleaning!  Oh, and some game playing ;)  And that's what concerns us :)

Along with the usual Civ IV, single and multi-player, I have taken up an old campaign in Hearts of Iron II as Italy.  I think I have backed myself into a corner, I have Turkey, Syria and Lebanon in a bid to outflank the Brits, but, now that I have them where I want them, I realize that I don't think I have enough materiel to complete my outflanking maneuver.  I may just declare war to see what happens anyways.

RotTK XIII, Twilight Struggle, and perhaps back to HoI IV.

To borrow liberally from Elvis with a few things changed:

Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said and done
I just never took the time

I think it was Jarhead who said that this game fills his FPS itch and then some, and I can (now) see where he is coming from.

VASSAL work cause I'm waaaaay behind.

Maybe some Stellaris.
Maybe some Polaris Sector.
Twilight Struggle PBEM with Jason. Good back and forth battle here... and not because we're good at the game... :idiot2:
Need to get Old School Tactical on the table.
Reading and punching out The War, next on the table if OST ever leaves...

Don't forget to trim those corners!

I will probably play the following games:

- Grand Ages: Rome
- Horizon
- Armada 2526
- Field of Glory (pbem)
- Oriental Empires
- Civil War: 1863


I will also watch the final game of the Euro on Sunday (Portugal against France), a western with Bud Spencer and Terence Hill and one or two episodes of Deep Space Nine.

In your opinion, which is the better game....Stellaris or Polaris Sector. Or better yet, if you could only keep one, which would it be?  I'm asking because I am enjoying Stellaris but haven't bought Polaris Sector yet.

Hmmmm.... loaded question.... Stellaris in polished and will only become greater the longer PDox supports it. Polaris Sector is still a bit rough and not as deep... yet... but I think it still gives a better feeling of the vastness of space and the proper time scale feeling to building space ships.
But I haven't been back to PS since Stellaris came out... though that might change with the lasts update for PS.
So, in summation, I don't know.... weak I know but there ya go...  :crazy2:

My wife used to tell me to trim my corners but now I'm just round all-over so..... It's been scorching here this week and what I really need is a computer game I can play in the pool. But since I can't find any of those, it'll be ACW 2 where it's Nov. 1862 and at least the map looks like fall and cool weather. Have a good one Grogs.
