Given up? Hardly! But definitely taking a break. I should probably boot up Falcon BMS, just to stay current with all I had learned. Someone in the BMS forums is offering to fly some training ops with me, so maybe I'll try to coordinate a few flights with him.

BC I like Rebel Galaxy but like you say it's not really deep...after a few hours I felt I had seen it all.

I would like a game with spaceship design, construction and capital ship combat, single player, with a decent campaign. I know there are several choices but I would like to know your preferences/favorites.

Me, I'm replacing our on-suite toilet.

For gaming, I've got OST II on the table, maybe some SD44 or Strategic Command WWII. I need to do some more driving with DiRT Rally and my new wheel setup as well.

Polaris Sector is a fantastic option, especially if you are looking for deep, meaningful ship design and tactical fleet combat that rewards smart vessel and fleet composition. Seriously, its got some of the best ship design and tactical fleet combat in the business.

Ooh thanks JH and Barth...there's a game I know nothing about. Will check it out.

I might put in more time with Atlantic Fleet. Yesterday I played a single battle, the Bismark versus the Rodney, King George V, Norfolk, and another British heavy cruiser (can't recall the name). Managed to sink all of them with medium damage to Bismark. That was a LOT of fun. Rodney took forever to sink, but King George V went down after three broadsides (and a massive explosion too, so I must have nailed something critical). Rodney took about 16 broadsides before she finally went under the waves.

The fun thing is, I could replay this scenario and get wasted without sinking a single British ship.

The boring games revolve around playing the German side and hunting convoys. Once you sink the escorts, the transports just run and are no match for you. The only challenging scenario is running a U-boat versus three British battleships (can't recall their names) and four British DDs escorting. First torpedo run I put four torps out there, three of which went into one of the BBs and blew her apart, with the fourth missing (meant to hit three battleships with that spread, but the unfortunate BB that was immediately sunk just happened to get right in the way). That pissed off the British DDs, whom immediately went after me. It took a few turns, but I got a couple of DDs lined up so I surfaced, let loose a couple of torpedoes, and missed the DDs. One of the torps hit one of the remaining BBs, though, and sank it (after a secondary explosion). My U-boat was immediately pounded with depth charges and we did not survive. But, scratch two Brit BBs. ;D

Anyway, it's more engaging than Pacific Fleet, and I liked that one on the iPad.

Well I have been off since Thursday, and off till Monday!
So enjoying my four day weekend.

Distant Worlds Universe

Stellaris (possible) or Polaris Sector

I keep thinking maybe Pike and Shot, or M2TW - IB2: Conquest of Britannia - a well done Arthurian Age mod (or picking up Field of Glory II)

I'm really just playing it by ear today. By the way Martok, very nice tune.

Great song choice martok....well done!  :notworthy:  Picked up the newer Master of Orion for $10.50 in the Gamersgate holiday sale....looking forward to getting into it this weekend.

I think the new horizons mod is back up and running too

I am definitely resolved to at least think once again about getting back into my Red Thunder mp with Yskonyn!  :bd: :hide: L:-)

Not much doubt I'll be doing a turn of FIRE IN THE GROGS TOO, too. And maybe producing/posting up the Turn 3 DAR of our game.

I've been picking at Unity of Command: Black Turn again recently, for no good reason other than I do like the system. ;)

I expect to be restarting my Armenian campaign in Rome 2 TW Empire Divided soon, now that I've got a general handle on how things work.

I've been doing some verrrrry preliminary preparation for a Total Warhammer: Mortal Empires Bretonnian campaign, but unsure that I'll start that this weekend.


If this is much like past weekends, I won't actually succeed at 3/4 or more of this list...  :crazy2:

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!

I thought I wanted Stellaris too, until I saw the loads of DLC for it.

Dammit Carl!

Well, climatological hijinks shut down my out-of-town trip, so it looks like more time for making corpses in The Division.  Also picked up The Strange rpg bundle at Bundle of Holding, so there's that to look at.

Stay warm and stay safe folks.
