Gents i feel overwhelmed...  my harddisk is floated with games i postponed and now all WANT some dedication at the same time.... like herding cats 

CMRT 1.01 patch is out ... i postponed playing cause of the bugs, now its ON
(well i have also BN and Italy last installments also, who should gets some time slices too! ...at least i rolled a six  made the will test (in board game speak ;-) ) and was strong enuf to not buy the BN vehicle-pack ...yet ;-)
...but next day i can roll again with {roll}1d10{/roll} new forum function [blockquote]Rolled 1d10 : 10, total 10[/blockquote]  ;)

The FC:RS 2.06 patch is inbound any moment ... i postponed playing, now it will be ON in a few days
(i bet The Plodder's fantastic Berlin monster map will follow soon in the track of 2.06 too )

Elite Dangerous Gamma start at 22. Nov with a wipe ...and i have to grind my ass off to get my Cobra with some modules back again ASAP

New SpaceHulk is out and first reports dropping in, its on sale for $20 until 19.11.  ...should i get it

all the fascinating DVG news, videos and Warfighter releases made me lusting for a solitaire boardgame sessions too...
I can take some time and really start a nice TAL either on the table or better with my TAL-VASSAL module.
From the Spiel2014 in Essen, i have a unpacked Phantom Leader Deluxe too....Arrrh!  (and my inner self already wants to huntdown an affordable copy of Warfighter+Ex123 in Europe ...commit me to the institute)

but what i really do at the momnet instead is watching hours of all kind of interesting playthrough videos of obscure solitaire boardgames on YT :-[

My tentative recommendation about the new Space Hulk is, yes, get it.
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.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

http://www.youtube.com/user/callasmar/videos?view=0&sort=dd&flow=grid&live_view=500
i noticed him when i was searching for a good TAL playthroughs, he has a very wide selection of choices
(not a native speaker so his English is clear and good to understand for me, and good camera work too)

Been watching his stuff for awhile now.  We definitely have similar tastes.  I've been trying to avoid watching his long series on Shadows Of Brimstone since my sets won't be in for awhile yet.  Don't wanna get too impatient after seeing it in action.  ^-^



Some other channels from some of the "Tube Tables" guys (BGG group) with similar stuff, in case you've not found them yet.

Those should keep you busy.   ;)  I'm subscribed to a few others but they are a bit more review or multi-player oriented so I didn't include them.  These channels are largely solitaire replays.  Makes learning rules much quicker when you see it in action beforehand.  O0

This dice roll has been tampered with!
Rolled 1d10 : 10, total 10

I did the same thing and after 5 rolls it was a 8, so I guess I will purchase...

Thanks!!!  O0  for the list,  yes i was looking for even  more alternatives

btw: i saw the first few Brimstone videos ...and it's entertaining to see Callasmar doing his 'work' , even so this kind of dungeons crawl games are not my taste in a way that i would buy and play them, but i love to see them unfold once.  I prefer the war / military themed solitaire games and those playthoroughs seem to be rare
...for me Eldrich Horror,  Brimstone, n such its like some passive spectator sport, i am not into track and field or ski-downhill or bicycle-race, but surely watch those sport as part of the Olympics or a WorldCup once a while when they get aired on free TV but would not order a PayTV channel or travel to the spot to see it

Heck, why not roll three d6, and wait to purchase when they all come up the same number?

My tsunami comes next month. War in the West and Schwerpunkt's World War II come out in Dec. And Decisive Campaigns 3 isn't far behind. Maybe some X-Mas sales will make up for it.
