SP I'll finish off my Shogun2 Republic of Nagaoka FOTS Campaign; Combat Mission to test out the V4 upgrade; maybe Gettysburg: The Tide Turns full campaign
MP Games: Assorted games Field of Glory (one with Anguille); Pike and Shot with Sauron (me playing Louis XIV French, while he plays William of Orange); More Gallipoli bloodshed if Cyrano gets around to his turn... ;)
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

Foul Temptress! (Mirth replying to Gus) ;)

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

I finished my PBEM game of Campaign Marengo which I lost pretty badly as the Austrians. I am learning the Tiller Napoleonic system which I am really starting to Enjoy.
Also playing a PBEM from Campaign Leipzig the battle of Sehested. Which has an interesting order of battle the Danish vs a mixed German-Russo-British-Prussian-German minor
states force.  I think the Tiller Napoleonic games are just the right size to make them very playable.

I picked up Conquest of the New World deluxe in the GOG weekly sale I have been also learning that. It has some interesting ideas and does things a little
differently then Sid Meier's Colonization.

I tried loading up Victory Vietnam in Vassal just to poke around inspired by the AAR in the forum but I have no idea what I am doing having no experience
with Vassal. Also the learning curve for the game looks pretty steep. That being said it's supposed to be one of the best games that simulates the war from
what I have read.

If you can get past the very dated graphics, it's a fun game. I even like the chess-like tactical battles.  O0

Dammit how am I supposed to resist a game in which I can build myself a tiny version of colonial Trenton??

Seven Cities of Gold on the C64 is still the best.

Why resist? It costs less than a cup of coffee.

Damn all of you...now I want to buy this Conquest of the New World...

I liked Seven Cities of Gold back on the Apple IIc...the old version, not the new one. I remember back then when the newer version came out I didn't like it nearly as much. Had a lot of fun going into a native camp, finding the Chief, then cutting him down and just mowing down e-Indians left and right.  ;D
