I don't mind when someone else starts a FRIDAY thread (and points to you for capitalization!!!!!), but, isn't this a little early?

Oh, I´m from Germany, and started this thread in the very early friday hours here (around

1:30 a.m.), before going to bed. Sorry, was a bit tired and didn´t thought about that.

Quite alright, Tosh.  Makes me happy to know that the FRIDAY thread is something people look forward to enough that they want to start it from anywhere in the world!  :)   O0

Heh.  I'm sitting here browsing Grogheads instead of gaming.  Maybe I'll boot up something unusual like Verdun.  I just dunno.  I feel too fried tonight to tackle anything that requires me to think too much.

Ah screw it, I'm gonna head to the couch and play Madden 25....keep working on taking the Pats to the Super Bowl.   8)

Running a half marathon tomorrow to honor a fallen classmate. Parents are in town to distract the kids so we'll see if I can make progress on my CMANO AAR and get some more CMANO gaming in.

Yep.  Definitely some CMANO and some boardgames.

I've been AARing a match of Facebook chess mirrored onto Warhammer 40K: Regicide hotseat, which I shall no doubt finish the endgame reporting tomorrow.

DC3:Barthroast may be beginning. Fine, Barth, take Moscow. Take it and choke on it!  >:D






Anyone who hasn't been following along our respective AARs, this could be the decisive battle right now, here in mid-late August. Links to both threads are in my sig.

I'm working all weekend again but I've been getting a bunch of time in on Mordheim and really enjoying it.  I was doing quite well with my little band of Germanic mercenaries and had the warband up to rank 3.  I completed the first big story mission without a hitch as well as a bunch of side missions.  Then I ran into a squad of Sigmar chicks and got stomped down hard thanks to a combination of crappy dice rolls, overconfidence, and greed (the warp stones were so close and I needed money for training).  Lost two dead, the magic user took brain damage, the leader lost an eye and developed megalomania, and my bruiser suffered internal injuries making him more susceptible to wounding in the future.  I wasted a bunch of time waiting for everyone to heal up but then got in a few more decent missions before running into a rival band of squarehead mercenaries.  They delivered an even worse beating than the zealots had and I decided to pull the plug on that campaign.

I started up a new one playing as the rat people and it's going well so far.  They're quite weak in both offence and defence but they're fast.  I find that if I rush forward until I meet the enemy, then fall back into ambush positions then I can lure one or two enemy fighters into combat and quickly swarm them and beat them down.  I find that if I concentrate on knocking down their leaders first, I can usually force a morale test and win.  The fights are always nail-biters though because the rats are just so frail.  2-3 hits are about all any of them can take before they drop so I have to hope that I can pull them out of the fight before they get pummelled and then cycle someone else into their slot.  I think I'll be in serious trouble if I get a map that doesn't have a lot of room to swarm/run or the enemies start getting better armor.

So far the weekend has involved Grim Dawn, Civilization 5, and the new Master of Orion. Might get in some BF4, as well as continue with those games.

have fun with Mordheim SDR - i got waylaid but will be back but thoroughly enjoyed the game

When i can there will be Templar Battleforce, XCOM 2, Atlantic Fleet and Call to Arms - determined to show the AI some pain in skirmish battles

With the application of working elsewhere and not been able to do it i have overcome the urge to get battlefleet gothic and Mius front - it was a struggle

And................... theres KyzBP and his pansy Australians

Civil wars last a long time in Age of Charlemagne and can be quite costly...thankfully this one is over, with the help of Charlemagne himself.

And with the civil war over, I can now get back to the business of looting and sacking the factions and provinces of Britain. While doing I so, I actually reached a campaign objective :) Back on track!

What game is this?

airboy

I finished Order of Battle: Morning Sun on medium difficulty.  That will be all for this game for a while.  I may try the USA campaign.
