Mr Rock n Roll FRIDAY

^Let me know if you need any help getting up and running. Although they advertise BAT as being a simple process, it proved to be anything but. The base mod alone is 29 files, plus another 10 files of a separate "mega" patch. Then each expansion module is one or two separate files too, and there are rules and instructions for installing some of them that must strictly be followed.

I've found the developers and members of the official forum mostly unresponsive to anything, but praise and adulation. Typical response to request for help..."Read the manual"...which happens to be like 200 pages.

Thanks, JH. Yeah. I reread your original post. Sounds like trying to get help from the Linux community. It sounds like the end justifies the means, though.

Its well worth it. Trust me.

This weekend will probably see the Roman Numbered Legions marching out to do some damage to barbarian hordes in Roma Surrectum III. Just need to survive long enough to have them first, the numbered legions, that is. Fall Weiss with DC1 is there as well.

Weekend took a longest time coming this week, glad we're here!

Continue Sirte#2 pbem in CSME. My opponents British troops are hitting me at all points. I'm still in recon phase trying to find out what he has brought to the table but once I deal with the chieftains I'm thinking counter attack from the west where he appears weakest. I'll probably spend most of my gaming time with EA title  P.A.M.E.L.A. another patch dropped so the game saves correctly and performs better since items aren't duplicating, games got a slight SS2 vibe which i dig. Also loaded up Serious Sam 2 for some run and gun and probably throw some Reflex Arena into the gaming rotation, at least until I realize my Arena gaming reflexes have died.

Out of town Saturday introducing the new pup to my brother's and friend's dogs.  Hope to play War Thunder tonight and Sunday.  Finished my first Civ5 game yesterday and may start another or continue tutorials for WW1 Centennial Edition that I got a few weeks ago.

Today sees the start of the seventh "Bloody April"  - a Rise of Flight MP campaign.  It's a team-based, mission-oriented, dead-is-dead (one life per session) affair and, as such, offers a much more intense experience than day-to-day Roffing.  Anyway, that's what I'll be doing tonight.

Otherwise, spring seems to have sprung in this corner of Blighty, so I'll be outside as much as possible...

Sounds tense.


The ROF flying, that is.  Spring springing probably isn't very tense unless you have local man-eating flora.

My AAR project for the multiplayer game vs. Barth on DC1:Blitzkrieg has hit a temporary snag, delaying it possibly into the middle of next week; but one way or another I'll work it out somehow. The important thing now is (1) actually playing turns (meant to do one last night and got distracted -- I intend to start Turn 3 in a few minutes once some patches for other games finish dling); and (2) continuing to make AAR material so that once I find the best way to work out the snag, I can start catching up the posts relatively quickly.

...I don't really see myself playing other games much this weekend, than working on those. If I take a gaming break on something else, not sure what it'll be. (I have compositional projects "composting" in the back of my head, too, on pre-write; those have got to be done, too, so some forward progress this weekend there would be good.)

Where does that take place?

[JasonPratt]

Occurred to me I should add: theoretically I might be spending some time this weekend assessing new information and working out the next moves on the Groghead forum Kriegspiel that Cyrano is running. Portentiously, perhaps, Barthheart happens to be running an AAR for the other side of that, too! Not that I've read it yet, just wanting to promote the thread. His side of the AAR for our DC1:Blitz game can be found in my link.

IL-2 1946 with the BAT mod and all 9 expansion modules. You guys have no idea what you're missing if you haven't seen what this mod can do...

Xplane11, learning the basics.

Star Citizen PTU v2.6.2d. Development of SC has noticeably sped up. 3.0 should be next and it is a massive update. Hopefully we will see it before the end of the year.

Ghost Redon: Wildlands. Still having fun raising hell.

Men of war assault squad 2 with too many awesome mods to count. Love this timeless game.

Maybe some flight simulators?

In virtual terms it's the skies above Arras, but in real terms it's on a password-protected server.  The server is also running mods, so it won't show up in the standard list.  If you want to join in you have to register beforehand - it takes a fair amount of admin to get the thing running, so they want to have an idea of numbers.

It is - I'm typing this having had 30 minutes of planning, followed by 30 minutes of forming-up and gaining altitude, only to find that the pesky Hun had gained more altitude.  Our three Tripes were dived upon by an equal number of Alb DIIs and it did not go well.  Quite quickly I was oiled and bloodied, so bugged out westwards - and was blown out of the sky by a direct Archie hit.

Lost count how many times a random Archie blast got me in MP.  Even at high altitude.

Usually not very concentrated, up high.  But Murphy tends to show up for regular visits:

^If only you'd had a parachute...

i admire shooting the wing gun into the ground as you cratered. The artillery afterward seemed a fitting salute.  :bd:
