Arriba! What games are we playing this Cinco de Mayo?

Been in the mood for Distant Worlds: Legends lately, so I think I'll jump back into that for a spell.

Mainly, though, I'm jonesing to make Europe safe for Communism, *and* to field a massive army of Apocalypse Tanks...which means I'll be firing up Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 this weekend. Those capitalist dogs will be crushed beneath the Hammer & Sickle!

Naturally, I'm continuing my PBEM campaigns in Armada 2526 Supernova as well.

Red Alert - blast from the past!

Ill be waiting with eye patch, parrot, stumpy leg and appropriately stereotyped catchphrase, and the occassional Garrrr for 18:00 when Port Royale 3 is ready to download - first ever Day 1 release purchase i think

will mooch around this endless space thing everyones going on about and see what its all about

bit of CMBN, playtesting a new scenario

I think I'm going to play my Mexican Drug War campaign created for WinSPMBT. I really need to do a Mexican Drug War II as follow up. If I hurry maybe I can release it Dec 21, 2012 and include Mayan insurgent forces allied with al-Qaeda. 8)

I'll be playing A Valley Without Wind and hopefully posting some impressions here later. I've recently upgraded to the latest version of Evochron Mercenary so I'll definitely give that a bash too. I'm always playing Stronghold Kingdoms. I may well have a crack at the NATO campaign in Naval War: Arctic Circle and, finally, I just picked up the latest IndieRoyale bundle so I'm sure I'll find some time for Dungeon Defenders at least.

I bought Weird Worlds: Further Adventures in space last night on Desura for £16, and this morning I awake to it being bundled in some indie humble bundle with a bunch of other titles for a pittance! Bah! I'll play it, but begrudgingly!

I'm still trying to figure out what's this Cynical Mayonnaise holiday is all about... :P

Endless Space Alpha and Team Assault.

Warlock. That game is addictive as (fill in the blank).

Also going to be working on some Flames of War minis. I am participating in an infantry campaign (working on an AAR but holding off publishing until we get some more games in so the wait won't be too long between serials). It's fun, but 15mm infantry is too small for me to really feel like I should invest in much detail. Still, I can't help myself - I'm filing off the seams where the cast molds were and lord help me I'll probably paint more detail than I should, though I draw the line and adding historical ranks and such. I just don't think at 15mm it's going to ever be appreciated...even by me.

In honor of Cinco-De-Mayo, I'm going to invade Mexico in ETW and watch Speedy Gonzalez cartoons. But not at the same time. That would be disrespectful.

Still playing Hegemony Gold. It got me interested in Greek history. At least until Diablo III comes out. May dabble with Endless Space and some Crysis 2 as well.

I hope to survive this game!

So you actually acquired a full PR copy? Cheat! :P
