My TMG (Too Many Games syndrome) is flaring up again. I want to play a space 4x but don't know which one to pick. I also see other icons on the desktop that look tempting. Knights of Honor? More Civ 6? 1775 Rebellion? Sigh.

Other than schlepping HL back and forth to his role as Tiny TIm...



(13 shows down, 27 to go.)

* Calculating fatigue for "Six Days in October" and trying to get to the point where someone will die of something other than march fatigue.  At least for the umpire, though, the near-misses and close escapes have been delightful.

* Long-running Tiller Jena PBEM

* Tiller Renaissance MP PBEM with panzerde and Boggit

* Figuring out why my SB:WWI game with Boggit keeps crashing

* Figuring out the KS mod for SoW:WL

* Scenario of the month for CMx2...forget which one...

* CS:ME tournament game

* LnL Solo playtesting...never before having dealt with a group that can update a playtest so quickly, it's positively unsettling.

* Wrapping up this round of Platoon Command playtesting

* Packers/Seahawks, pretty much for the season...

Been learning the in's and out's of To End All Wars-- by letting the game beat the piss outta me, as usual. Managed to lose the East Prussian Campaign twice in a row as Russia before pulling-out a draw on my 3rd attempt. On to the Western Front as Entente and I'm up to my ass in Germans not even 3 turns in. But I'm a slow learner. So, taking a break for a busy weekend. Maybe back to Pillars of Eternity if I can squeeze some time-- cause there's no Germans in this game.  :cowboy:

Will probably be doing some Civil VI, World of Warships. Hope to participate in the Waterloo session with Assid's group tomorrow.  Also playing Waterloo has got me eyeing Crown of Glory which I bought 7 years ago and never truly got into.

IronX

Playing some Combat Mission Black Sea for another video AAR.

May mod some more Strategic Command unit counters.



Probably fly a few bomber missions in IL2 Stalingrad. Looking forward to the release of the Ju 52.

Nice looking counter mod....

IronX

Thanks. I do like the way you can graphically show technology improvements (Pz III, IV, etc). Changing the counters makes it easier to see what a unit is and adds a little more immersion than "Tech Level 4".

Almost makes me want to buy the game. Tried an older previous version and just wasn't my type of game.... maybe enough has changed to give it a shot again...

Wow. They are nice. :)

I tried to do the demo of the older Global one, but couldn't get it to run in Windows  10. So uninstalled.

Boggit

I'm looking forward to playing this weekend...

JTS Renaissance with Cyrano (as team mate) vs Panzerde (Battle of St Quentin with me and Cyrano playing the Imperials vs Panzerde's French (Cyrano plays the Spanish imperial force) with me playing the English allies)).

SBWWI - Gallipoli scen 6 vs Cyrano if we can figure out the file read error coming from Cyrano. It's odd, all our other games have worked perfectly. We are advised now to zip our saves. Anyone else had a similar problem?

Field of Glory
Boggit (Classical Spartans) vs Anguille (Early Hoplite Greeks)
Boggit (Medieval Irish) vs Sauron (Ordonnance Burgundian)
Boggit (Medieval French) vs Sauron (Ordonnance Burgundian)
and three other games with titusgroan, and mcfcivo. mcfcivo is already crucifying my late medieval Polish army with his Golden horde - it is soooo unfair... :'( ;)

Pike and Shot
English Civil War early Parliament (Boggit) vs early Royalist (Sauron)

Some Combat Mission - finishing off a Red Thunder game, may do a Black Sea mission next.

Maybe some Mount and Blade Viking Conquest.

I also hope to download and start playing SC3 for an upcoming article.

Shout out to 29th ID - a member was nice enough to send me an group invite after playing some RO2 with them this past week.  Fun times!

That's one of my favorite servers.

I'm hoping to boot up some Scourge of War, and one of the Total War games thus far.  Probably some CK2 as well...I tend to bounce between M2TW and CK2 back and forth during a gaming night as my mood changes.

Great stuff as usual, IronX.

SC is definitely growing on me.  May yet be the RTR that I've wanted all this time...here's hoping.

All testing useless without MP, however, which is forthcoming.

Looking at playing Tillers Normandy with the new update provided. It's a new game to me so I'm excited.

Might do a little Tigers on the Hunt and definitely will be playing some modded Witcher 3.

It's going to be an R&R weekend. Finally.
