In honor of Memorial Day, I will be having some Hot Wings and a couple of stiff drinks in memory of all the digital soldiers who've laid- down their digital lives in all manner of poorly executed battles and campaigns I've sent them into. It's the least I could do... and the least I can do is usually what I do. I will be sending them more company from CMRT and Decisive Campaigns WtP where I've gone from Case White to Case Yellow, the same as my teeth when I forget to brush and floss when I play this game too much. Thank you Service Men and Women everywhere for your sacrifices. O0

Ah Memorial Day. It will be my usual Big Gaming thing: WitpAE PBEM: the Japs are already sinking things, when will I ever get to sink something? And some CMRT, ARMAIII, CLOD, and some board games.

Might grab The Witcher games while they are cheap on steam, fancy some RPG.

Need to get into Europa Universalis IV which I bought recently.

Have a vassal game of Blood & Roses going, really like the Men of Iron system

Playtesting something else in Cyberboard.

Want to play something solo on the table, might do No Retreat: The Russian Front or give Infidel a go since I'm enjoying Blood & Roses so much.

Flashpoint Campaigns: Red Storm beta patch
Distant Worlds: Universe

and as always probably some Diablo 3.

I will probably spend some time reading as well. I just finished On Basilisk Station (free as ebook), and I'm about a 1/4 through Rick's The Generals.

More board games! Not sure what will get played...but many will see the table.

I'll give Kill Team another shot and see if I can get it running consistently, too.

I really like the Honor Harrington series, it's pretty much cheesy military scifi but very enjoyable.

You can get most of the series plus a load of other Baen ebooks from:

http://baencd.thefifthimperium.com/

for those that want some free reading.

Probably Endless Legend, Distant Worlds: Universe, Making History The Great War (to check out the latest update) and since I haven't fired it up in a while some Kerbal Space Program.

I'll drop you an email when I've had chance to get more familiar with it, but from what I've experienced so far, I would say very favourable.

CRAP! I mean good for you.... Finding another game to enjoy.... I don't need another series to get into.
Part of the reason in got into LnL was because I loved Squad Leader so much but could not relearn it for the life of me after being away fro it for about 15 years....
LnL has now filled my squad level tactical niche... I can't afford to have more than one.....
