Fortunate FRIDAY

CCR at the Royal Albert Hall, 1970

I'll be doing BoC work, Fight Club work, some more turns in my WarPlan email game, and possibly some moves in the Rule the Waves 3 AAR. I really want to get to work on some Combat Mission and CMO AARs but I don't think that will happen this weekend.

Continuing XCOM2 longwar 2 campaign - I'm into June with 6 pretty decent squads of 8 all at least sergeant with a captain each with mag or laser weapons - have just created 2 psi operatives and am waiting for the liberation mission to pop in west Asia so I can move into phase 2

Workers and resources - still building the oil refinery and the necessary rails to go with it

Will be starting a new aurora game as soon as I've got to grips with the new patch

Which "new" patch? Did 2.6.0 drop? I don't see a link. As far as i know, the most recent patch is still 2.5.1, which dates back to January.

Nothing else is calling my name atm so I continue to play Space Empires IV using the "Star Trek" mod. I'm playing as the Cardassians and have met most of the races in the galaxy. The first race I met were the Gorn. Shortly after meeting them however they declared war on me. After hundreds of game turns I've got them down to two systems with an estimated total number of planets to be less than 10.

Out of mercy I asked them for peace and they replied as shown in the screen shot attached.

Immediately after I took 15 million Gorn citizens living on one of the captured planets in my domain and put them on a transport. Upon reaching orbit of the planet I promptly 'spaced' them. Does that make me a monster? I mean you saw what they said so what else could I do?

Yeah sorry 2.5.1 is new to me - stepped away from the game a couple of months ago after been neck deep in it for 6 months

Continuing my Old World game as Greece and will be starting a lightly modded game as the Ptolemies in the Rome 2 Total War Imperator Augustus campaign. Irresistible.

This is...this is... I love this more than I can say. SEIV has been in my queue for a while, but it just shot up pretty close to the top.

For context, I have a picture of me and Bobby Clark, the original guy in the Gorn suit, on my wall, so that should tell you something.

This is a good game - went through a 4x phase a while ago & tried a number of space games, including more modern ones - Sins of a Solar Empire, Endless Space & a couple of others, but kept coming back to this one as it was just more easily grasped & more fun.

Sins2 and coh3.
By all accounts sins2 seems to have had a good steam release.

Yeah it's totally worth it. Complex but not overwhelming and definitely has that 'just one more turn' feel to it.

Yup. Easy to grasp and more fun.
