Unfortunately no Star Wars just yet.  However, there will be WiTP with UCG.  The war is getting really interesting with much nail biting going on at the moment.
On Saturday I'll be joined by a friend I haven't seen in awhile and we will be breaking out the Dungeons and Dragons Miniatures for some marathon mini-ing(new verb).

Working on PBEMs with Bart and Sid as mentioned above + AARs of the same.

Working on a new AAR of World War One Gold/Centennial, in the Russian Grand Campaign, which will eventually incorporate much of my original tutorial material for it.

Lugging stupidly heavy floor lamps back home tonight; but maybe this time I can eke out spending a night and tomorrow with the nieces. We'll see.

No shopping because I've finished all that, or negotiated using other people's shopping, heh.  ^-^

May or may not work up the nerve to live through Night 2 of Rake, which I'm Shadowplay recording and editing for posterity to giggle at.

May or may not buy 7 Days to Die while it's not on sale, so as to take advantage of a Grogheads server for the game.

Will probably try to power through the next stage of Hand of Fate which I've died at twice now.

May edge a little farther along my Far Cry 4 campaign, which I'm around 75% through by now.

Need to prep some things for my nieces on Christmas.


...oh, and while I'd rather wait to see the new Star Wars with Dad when it arrives on Blu-Ray eventually, he may feel up to going to see it in theaters. Which would be great, but probably not a good idea for him (due to heart stress).  :buck2:
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!

The plan is to go see Star Wars on Monday with a couple friends. 

I work tonight, and then have a long weekend off.  Both my siblings and their spouses will be in town (along with my two adorable nieces); family Christmas is on Sunday.  :) 

Gaming-wise, will continue my Mercian campaign in Atilla TW: Charlemagne.  Will hopefully get some more beta-testing in on a certain 4x title as well.

Sitting at the theatre waiting for Star Wars to start:). Gaming takes a back seat for awhile:)

Back from the movie, a great time!  Now I am pumped to play something in the Star Wars universe, but sadly nothing modern out there besides Battlefront, which isn't the type of game I want to fire up.  Hoping they come up with some new RPG/story game, would love to see it....I guess I could fire up the oldie but goodie KOTR II, never finished it before.

They need to make a hearts of iron mod that puts the game in the SWU. You figure the empire/first order pretty much is the equivalent to nazi Germany already
Insert witty comment here.

All that Star Wars nerd love and no Star Wars gaming?  Weak.

In order for me to game Star Wars I would have to own a Star Wars game.  Which I do not.  However, I am heartened by Barthheart's attempt to get his Civ IV game upgraded to a Steam code by 2K.  Might be able to talk him into the brewing GH mp game.  He DOES owe me a beat down after all ;)

I'm going to try to finish up the Human campaign in Hell, maybe some Conflict of Heroes, and try my best to learn some War in the West.    I've got 2 weeks off, so I'll be really ticked at myself if I waste it without getting some serious gaming in.

I've actually done some SW:TOR for short stints, when I've been getting a Star Wars RPG craving lately.  Being free-to-play now, it's pretty painless to run a few PvE missions and saber/blast apart some mobs in filthy casual style.  Their FtP model seems laid back compared to others, too.

Helps that I can play Imps.  Wouldn't enjoy it as much if I couldn't play Sith or Bounty Hunters or Imp Spy.

Nothing but : Decisive Campaigns Barbarossa.

Pissed off the wrong people and miscalculated my timing in resting and refitting. Basically lost an Army in August.

Will be waiting going to StarWars until the 28th of December (Local IMAX pretty much sold out until then).  Plus my dad will be vising then and I will see if he wants to go with.  He is really not much of a movie goer but one of my earlier memories is tromping around lost in LA with him to go see the original StarWars IV. 

In between doing all the normal house chores I have to help with the twins and fix more of the stuff that they break.  (Its amazing what twin 4 year old boys can damage- there is nothing safe from them).  If I had to make their bedroom over again it would look like a supermax cell with poured concrete and a non flush toilet in the middle.

Then if I have time I will try and get that CMBS game with UCG going.  Other than that trying to get through some more scenarios of CMANO Northern Inferno.  On my big to do wish list is to get to grips with War in the East and really get a better understanding of how to play.

Coule it be Polaris Sector?

My gaming time is few...i started an Imperium Galactica 2 campaing with the Shinari on my tablet. We'll see if i manage to do more. I'd love to see Star Wars....not sure when.

My employer rented an entire theater for us to view SW tonight, and I'm stuck working a shift  :'(

I've manage to spend some time tinkering with CMANO on my laptop though.
