Didn't we do an 80's weekend a few weeks back?

There was a limit on the 80's.  It is commonly known as 1 January 1990.

That's a "logical" limit - but in truth, there is NO limit to the 80's. They're like The King - they live on.

You all realize that Huey Lewis and the News was a US Government plot to gets kids off drugs right?!?  :coolsmiley:

This weekend is a long one up here AND I have all the rest of next week off as well. It's planting season!
So most of my sunlight hours will be spent being muscle for planting my wife's vegetable garden.

Also, finally, got rid of the "House Guest That Wouldn't Leave"... my wife's nephew whom we hired to re-shingle our roof. Very good at his craft.... but slow and .... well.... young.  :knuppel2:
So now I can get back my office and play some games.
I owe several PBEM's, sorry fellas.
I need to write a review, sorry BB.
I need to complete a CiV campaign as Washington.
I need to get some boardgaming in, and may post some AAR's.

A lot to jam into the next 9 days.  8)

Well, you didn't put a music video in so I'm happy!


You wound me, sir!  For that, it will be a double shot of Huey Lewis & the News!!

Ok, I didn't deserve that.  ;D

Back in the Eighties, all women looked like sexy Brazillian Bikini Soccer players. But they just hadn't gone Brazillian yet, they were still just Bikini.  ::) Some of them not even that. Usually women from France and Russia. And Mountain Women. That was before the invention of the Weed-Eater for women. What a time that was to be young and straight.

CM:BS vs. Doug...beginning to look the the Alamo, but the explosions in the last minute played were AWESOME.

Commander: Great War vs. Doug...the world is a big place, even at corps level...and what in the Sam G. Hill were the British doing in Iraq?

Someday a Canadian mechanical engineer I know will rise from his slumbers and send a Sicily '43 turn...someday...

Leipzig tournament Round 3 over at The Blitz.  Fascinating scenario, but the French start out with almost all their troops fixed.  Makes the turns easy to turn around, at least.  I will also say that, as with most games, scenario design is absolutely everything.  In this area, Leipzig is special.

News that the Warfighter (DVG version) wave two is fixing to come out inclines me to try a game with the boy over the weekend.

Best,

I love Martok's style in his OP :)

I will be continuing my Wolfenstein: The Old Blood campaign (it's great) and hopefully some Order of Battle - Pacific soon. Grim Dawn has been beckoning for the last few days too.

And still tempted to get the Rome 2 - Wrath of Sparta campaign.

Oh and a Rome 2 campaign as Macedon is lurking also. Or Persia.

Not sure yet.

:)

Definitely some RoF and boardgames.  Possibly some Mordor and DCS and BoS and Attila.

If I do get a bit bored of driving, I might fire up State of Decay and take my "family" further in their little virtual post apocalyptic world.


You could always run over zombie hordes in State of Decay, if you feel the need to drive offensively.  >:D

Finally got back to doing some more of the BotF AAR for the mythical front page. FINALLY FOUND ALIENS!
Woot!

Martok, if you ever get the chance you should check out the Syttende Mai celebration in my dad's home town just across the border from the Twin Cities in Wisconsin, Woodville. Just a small farming town but they have a huge Syttende Mai festival, lots of fun.
Duly noted.  Thanks for the tip, AR!
