So far it's been CK2.  I've been considering going back old skool, though, maybe M2TW or King Arthur.

I, too, am getting an urge to go back to Skyrim yet again.  I might try the character I got with the Alternate Random Start mod.  Or maybe continue Morrowind

Plenty of choices.

Quite a list of games are in the hopper: CMANO (or Byzantium 1949); Mig21; Far Cry 3;CK2;WitpAE PBEM; some boardgames

Nefaro

WOFF v2 campaign(s)


Maybe some of the new Endless Legend update, ROF multi-player when Wargrounds is populated, and perhaps a little tabletop gaming with a few of the family.

PBEM Normandy 44 with Cyrano.
Hopefully some Warlock MP if Bob's back....
More CK II.
Modding my Wings of War planes and flight stands with magnets and ball bearing to allow for some attitude eye candy.
Continuing the Ambush! play by forum... things are coming to a head there.

I have at least three different WW1 tabletop games that could use some Wings of War minis.  I suppose that would end up being four games if I got that.  But I'm already backed up with quite a few stands, magnets, and aircraft to mount and paint.  I should probably get that done first before moving on, no matter how much easier this would be.  :buck2:

I've got some Warfighter to do with my son this weekend. Might break out some other board games as my mother comes to town, some old non-wargamy stuff like Ticket to Ride or that temple game Brant turned me on to that I can't recall the title of offhand (lol). Was thinking of even breaking out World of Warcraft: The Boardgame and playing it finally.

Temple game - Tikal?

As for WoW, I can only assume you have a dedicated room of tables for setting up and playing it.

I'm kidding!

Sort of...

Well, there is no long weekend here. But since FedEx is pretty much going to be dead tomorrow in terms of freight load to and from the US, it'll be an easy couple of days. When not 'working', I'll probably dive further into Far Cry 4, unless something pops up on sale that I must have RIGHTNOW.

Oh, and I'll be helping my sister and brother in law move some furniture in the -29 or so expected Saturday temperature. Wheeeeee!

Well I've had the fantastic revelation this week that one of my all-time favourite games, Sins of a Solar Empire, works perfectly with WINE (that means I can play it on Linux)!  So this weekend I'll mostly be playing that.  Not sure what else yet.  I will almost certainly get some more Din's Curse in, but now that I've finally started using WINE I may well investigate what else from my Windows-only library I can play. :)

I think I might be burning out on CK2 a bit.  Might be time to move on to something else.  I'm afraid my M2TW time has passed, but I might just try and see if I can recapture the magic.

I plan to start a new game of Fallen Enchantress: Legendary Heroes with the latest DLC
If you think of it and/or have the energy for it, would you mind sharing your thoughts on the Battlegrounds DLC (once you've had the chance to play it a bit)?  I almost pulled the trigger, but ended up holding off at the last minute.

Besides the usual Wings Over Flanders Fields v2.01, I picked up two new(to me) games, Ultimate General: Gettysburg and Port Royale 2. I'm enjoying both very much!

Coiler

Got several Steam games from the sale, including a port of the classic Metal Slug 3. A combination of a power outage yesterday and Thanksgiving meals kept me from playing anything until recently, but the first thing I did was play that game. Very goofy yet challenging.

oompf.. I'm too stuffed to play!!!.. .Although I did just return a PON turn to SdR..

Been eyeing Divinity on the Steam sale... Also the FSX taxi2Gate KCMO Airport..

Did you get your Pedals figured out yet?

Yes.  Had to sacrifice an extra chicken before doing the dance.

I'm finishing Allied Corps of all things.  Got it on a recent Matrix sale.  Also working on a manuscript that is work related.

Finished the game.  It was pretty fun - but I think the original Panzer Corps is a better deal for those interested in the series.

Nefaro

Picked up the Witcher Adventure Game from GOG.   Hopefully a good turn-based game for a coffee drinking spree. 

Despite initial reviews looking good, it sounds like there are some multi-player disconnect issues at the moment so it looks like single-player for the moment.
