Not sure what the gaming weekend holds, but, it's the weekend, so, what's the difference?  ;)  I suspect there will be some Civ IV BtS.  Probably some Warlock, too.  Go with what you know, right?  :)

Off to Vegas for our 10th wedding anniversary gift to ourselves, so the only gaming for the next week is slots and blackjack.  :coolsmiley:

Nooooo! That's money you could use for the Steam Summer Sale!  ::)
I will continue my Civ4 Colonization game. Maybe something else from the backlog of games. And add more games to the backlog.

Oh, happy 10th anniversary!  O0

Gobbling up more of Iberia as Carthage in Rome 2 Hannibal at the Gates, but the Romans have invaded far eastern part of Iberia and taken a province from me. It's on and now I'm going to go all Punic on them.

Try my hand at some Elite:Dangerous - see if I can't fathom out what to do to get to other systems etc...

I might have hit a wall with F1 2013 Normally Monaco is the race that kills it for me, but I fought through that (and did ok I think) only to get totally snagged on Singapore. I just can't do a lap at the minute without hitting the barriers. And I'm waaaay off the pace. I'm going to need alot of practice on that.

I might (as MikeGER mentioned it) get Thunderbolt-Apache Leader out for a quick play...and likely do another AAR on it next weekend.

Yesterday afternoon and last night I played wayyyyyy more Godzilla Smash 3 than I want to admit on a wargaming site. Or anywhere public for that matter. (Though being quite the baroque operator I did so anyway. ;) ) Does make me wish Pipeworks would get their act together and set up a new Godzilla brawler for the PS3, or at least release "Save The Earth" as a port to PS3 on PSN. I don't have room to unpack my spare PS2 just to play that.  :'( Heck, I didn't know Pipeworks even still had a license to the property! -- but maybe that's good news in a way?


Anyway. No doubt I shall continue slapping ineffectually at the early German/Hunny hordes as Russia in my Darkest Hour WW1 campaign. May or may not start the Russia campaign in another game soon, so that I'll be able to get all the WW1 games going at the same time for AAR purposes.


With any luck I'll be able to play economic strategy games with the nieces tomorrow afternoon (as part of belated Father's Day feasting): they'll certainly want to play Jaipur, and I may be able to introduce the basic levels of Alhambra (via the card game) or Targa or Jambo/Assante or maybe even the Railways of the World cardgame. Most of those can be played with simplified rules and then scale up by adding in factors. (Alhambra scales up enormously of course -- I have the Big Box, too, but it's a little harder to play the basic card game to introduce the rules that way.)
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.

Being Carthage was rough.  I was the Gatea (Getae?) in my most recent campaign.  They were doing okay, but then I started playing some WitPAE PBEM and that's what I'll be doing this week-end.  That and some Hoplite (boardgame), for which I have posted a tiny AAR.  I have to say Hoplite is a surprising game.  I trotted up the Spartans and their allies against the Athenians at Tanagra (457 BC) and bungled on the first move.  The Athenians advanced at a run (or a significant number did -- their ragged line didn't matter because even the trotting phalanxes
hit the Spartan line after 400 yds.  The Spartans and allies were essentially smashed in that first onslaught.  Lots of lessons -- which I will try to cover in my next Hoplite AAR.

Cool. Anything in particular I should see? Last time I was in Vegas was 1990... I'm guessing some things have changed a bit....  :P
