Into the wild blue yonder on a Friday

I'm still hopelessly addicted to Guild Wars 2.  However, I feel a yearning to properly sit down and look at Conquest of Elysium 3 and I might look deeper into Path of Exile.

The talk about Jutland and Distant Guns on wargamer has made me install stormpowered and the games again. Looking forward to try the out again  :)

This weekend figures to feature a bunch of Warlock Master of the Arcane.  Solo mostly, but MP if bob (or any of the rest of you chicken hearts) has the time and inclination.  I might possibly contniue my HOI2 Doomsday as Italy.  Or Even advance my Avernum Escape From the Pit campaign.


It was this date, many moons ago, that Congress established the Army Air Corps.

Yeah I kinda got my schedule disrupted by visitors last week, after which, I erm, fell asleep in the chair. However, I shall strive to make amends on Sunday, that I will.

I'm still addicted to Skyrim, although CK2 has made its way back into my gaming time. Probably spend a few more hours with Path of Exile as well.

Been thinking of reinstalling Hegemony: Gold after reading an article on the longbow games website about organic warfare in games.

I'm checking-out all the taverns in Skyrim to see if any of them are serving Beer & Wings for the big game on Sunday. I should be able to afford it, I've got 20,000 gold and a butt-load of gems. Drinks are on me.

w00t! That's a great idea :)

GOG has Strategic Command:European Theater for $3.99.  Will download it tonight, crack open a cold one and enjoy some easy wargaming for a while.

Strategic Command: European Theater is an excellent choice. I played its predecessor Clash of Steel to death back in the day. I was delighted when I heard about Strategic Command and quite pleased when I tried it out--it actually improved on the original instead of trying to"reimagine" it.

Moving house but at least the broadband is up, I don't imagine ill have time to scratch my arse but it will be ckII if I do - the parma Aar took a decidedly unexpected turn last week so I'm eager to continue the drama, FM2010 is still getting a lot of time as I secure promotion from league 2 to league 1.... A statue of me is being built outside the ground!

Found a good spot to redo the iron front Normandy mission on but keep getting blown up by a Pak40 even though I know where I placed it

Homeworld II PDS continues thanks to stars advice

[Arctic Blast]

FOOTBALL! Well, on Sunday at least. Also BEER! and SOON TO BE REGRETTED QUANTITIES OF FOOD!

Before then, I'll mostly be trying out some of my new board game acquisitions. Early plays of Sentinels of the Multiverse have been pretty damn fun.

Kingdoms of Amalur  -  won't finish I'm sure, but maybe get another zone done
Unity of Command  -  finish the Soviet campaign
Colonization  -  learn the ropes

I've just had a quick 40-odd minutes in Conquest of Elysium 3 and quite enjoyed myself!  I love that it's relatively deep while being easy and quick enough to play that you don't need to sink hours into it to get anything out.  I played as a necromancer and was getting my arse kicked by independent armies until I realised that I could return to scenes of battle and raise the dead to grow my army.  Sadly, my main necromancer was killed very early on, leaving me with an apprentice who kept going insane (?) which meant he wouldn't do as he was told half the time.

I'm printing out the 61-page manual for some weekend reading.  I think I'll play a necromancer next time too, and see if I can get a good handle on it before moving on.

Well I know its "not a wargame", but Rawbots has had my attention for most of the week and will probably also have it most of the weekend minus honeydo list activities...at least until Super Bowl XLVII starts...

If you should ever decide to give CKII MP a go, let me know.  And I dig your new avatar :)

Aside from my usual IL2 and Roffing, I'll probably play a lot of Planetside 2.  Anyone else given this a go?  Strikes me as something which could feature on the Grogheads MP menu

I tried, but unfortunately my PC just isn't capable of running it reliably.
