Recreating Roarke's Drift in WW1 Ethiopia, except Ethiopia is the fort, and the British are the Zulus, and I'm the one with what-might-as-well-be Zulu tech against their hundreds of artillery pieces, thousands of cav, and dozens or occasionally hundreds of armored cars. Plus hundreds of thousands of infantry with experienced generals, did I mention those? And at least one capital ship off the coast somewhere nuking me whenever it stops drinking tea long enough to care.

The British won Roarke's Drift, right...?  ??? :P

Looks like they might again....  ;)

Tonight if all goes well, I'll be assembling my new PC, installing and updating windows, transferring personal files, etc. Tomorrow and Sunday, I'll be playing Diablo 3, Xenonauts, EUIV MP, Distant Worlds, and Skyrim. I'm really curious to see how my new rig handles Skyrim. I've modded Skyrim well past what my current PC can handle.
PanzersEast: Have to think to myself.... will I play the first one by the Winter Sale?  Probably not, then I should remove Dragonfall
PanzersEast: but that is thinking too logically.... and Steam Sales are about ignoring Logic

In honor of the birthday of our esteemed friend, mirth, I will be picking up some random barfly for a weekend of hot, sweaty...gaming!  That's it, gaming!  Ok, it'll probably only be one game, EUIV, but, I will be playing ;)

but will you still be hot and sweaty

FarAway Sooner

I'm looking at spending most of the weekend with the newly patched Eador.  Reports on the stability of the new version are mixed--I think it varies some by user, but so far my experiences have been relatively positive.

Sir Slash

Decisive Campaigns WtP-- Case White. The Poles are poor soldiers but great magicians. They manage to make themselves disappear out of every encirclement I try to trap them in.
"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

Rizik6

Diablo 3, in preparation of the expansion. I've already had quite a few usable drops.  Probably more than all the many hours I played before. Also some Panzer Battles Kursk.

Boggit

A mixed bag for me - Combat Mission, Dominions 3/4, Field of Glory (most likely multiplayer), Creeper World 2, and maybe some Medieval TW2 (or Empire/Napoleon TW) if I get around to it. Most likely it will end up just CM, and FoG, but you never know. 8) Now I'm thinking I should also start up Bionic Dues, AJE, and Warlock, but I know I'm overcommitting, and will just play one turn of each if I do! :o :-[

CK II - bought The Old Gods and Sons of Abraham - going to start as a count in England in 867 and see what happens

HoS extravaganza to finish review

I have a CKII campaign going, too.  Started as a Welsh Duke.  Just created the "Kingdom of Wales" from most of that and Cornwall, in the early 867 start.  Luckily the Vikings and the English have been too busy fighting each other to worry about me just yet.  Maybe I can start taking Ireland for my own be opportunistic if one of the other two get weakened.

Will also be continuing my TW Rome 2 campaign as Ptolemaic Egypt. 

Gotta big tabletop wargame based on the War of the Roses to put together and learn this weekend, if it shows up today as it's supposed to.  :)

Sounds good. I've struggled to get into CK2. Perhaps a game to persevere with. Did you get the Saxon skin pack?

Yep!  I have had a difficult time resisting CK2 DLCs.  Even the purely aesthetic ones that you may not even notice very often while playing, such as this. 

Fortunately I can't easily tell if there is DLC I am missing.  There are so damn many and no store indicators as to which you already own unless you put them all in your shopping cart and go into the checkout process.  It may have saved me from buying one or two more.

Also recently picked up the latest EU4 DLC so theyr'e both vying for my grand strategy time at the moment.  I couldn't wait for a sale to check out the new randomized Americas.
