This weekend its mowing...and I had some gravel hauled in so I'll also be playing on a tractor quite a bit.

However, I did get Prepar3d setup with FSEconomy again last night...so maybe I can get a flight in at some point.

Slick Wilhelm

I'll continue my Tannenberg scenario in To End All Wars, along with more World War One: Centennial Edition.

And then when the drinking commences, it will be World of Warships and World of Tanks. Don't have to be sober to play those.  O0

Coming close to the end of my Normandy 44 PBEM battle with Cyrano so need to get at least 2 turns of that in. Each game turn represents 2 hours but it takes 2.5 hours to complete a turn.... :idiot2:

This PBEM has got me in the mood for some operational level board wargaming. Dug out an oldie, Superpowers at War from S&T magazine from 1985! Good old fashion Warsaw Pact vs NATO in Germany stuff... from when it could have really happened.  O0

Also got a copy of the first issue of YAAH! magazine and it has two games in it. Going to try and play Stamford Bridge. It's got Vikings vs the Brits in a hack slash tactical battle. What could be better for s cold Saturday afternoon.  :D

  I thought I was going to end up with some HPS PBEM, but no.  looks like some DCS and ARMAIII and some OCS boardgames such as Enemy at the Gates.

Cyrano

It would seem I will get some Normandy '44 turns!  Variable reinforcement has assuredly been my foe, but I'm no fan of the Allies' air cover either.

Kursk and CM:BS PBEM.  The former is winding down under bad visibility conditions.  My werfers can't see the damned Soviets to shoot them.  The latter continues to involve a lot of Rooskie silly knees-bent, running about, advancing behavior.

I made the decision -- I won't call it good or bad -- to turn on ALL the options on my digital Talisman.  Holy cats there's a lot there.  My son and I are locked in grim battle with a couple of evil-hearted AI characters.

P.S.: Vance -- It gets better honestly it does, although I continue to struggle with keeping my divisions together beneath your brutal air cover.  Besides, I always remind myself what would happen if you were playing a board game of this dimension...forgetting rules...shifting counters while unstacking stacks...and heaven forfend one sneezes!

I agree Jim. I just look at guys playing something like It Never Snows and cringe at all the work that would take to play.... but a little envious that they have the will power/attention span, that I no longer have, to do so.

Normandy '44 has grown on me as our game has progressed. I still don't like not having factors on the counters but I'm starting to understand and like the combat model.
Maybe, if I have not bored you with my slow turn returns, we could try another scenario after this one?

I'm going to finish up my Terran campaign in Starcraft 1, using the Mass Recall mod, and then start the Zerg one.   I am also going to dive headfirst into some 4X game that I own... I own too many, and haven't given any of them enough playtime.   I will also go through the tutorials for To End All Wars, and try to play some of the small scenarios from the expansion.

Seeing if I'm still as bad at SP WWII as I was when I was much younger-- so far it's a yes. And Pillars of Eternity. There's so many damned spiders in this game there should be a Pest Control class for characters. But after last night's episode of Vikings, I'm hankering to sack Paris in Attila TW. Where is it on that damned dark map anyway?  8)

Just bought CMBS, but I'm still playing the main scenario from the CMBS demo and getting rocked by the AI pretty hard.

Just about to start the third battle of the CMFI campaign "Conrath attacks".

Playing the excellent user created "Luftwaffe Pilot: Legion Kondor!" (by FlatSpinMan at Mission4Today) campaign for IL-2 1946. About to fly on my second mission after arriving in Spain in 1937. The first eight missions of the campaign were training missions and border patrols along Switzerland's border.

Wally, let me know how you do with Conrath's Counterattack. The 3rd battle is the one I never got past.

I took too many tank losses in the second battle so I'm a little short on armor for the 3rd battle, but hope springs eternal.

Pillars of Eternity and War in the West. We are in an era of gaming goodness.

This weekend's games include refurbishing a hot tub.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Still thinking about it...not extremely immersed in the games i am currentely playing (Paraworld and Endless Space). They are good games but i might need something else. I have so many other games to play i am not sure what to choose. I might still play some of the two games above and maybe something new...like Pandora. Very uncertain. :-\
