I"ve so barely touched TW: Japan

That I'm seriously reluctant to dive into TW Total War.   It might be great but,...well you know.

Prepar3D and Elite for me.

Picked up the Aerosoft CRJ-700/900 for Prepar3D this week along with the OrbX scenery I bought last weekend. Took it out for the first time tonight, a quick flight from KSEA to KPDX (Seattle to Portland). Flight went well until the autopilot tried to kill me on the approach. I landed it but it was ugly. Much more fun to fly in a sim then it is top actually fly on one.

PanzersEast: but that is thinking too logically.... and Steam Sales are about ignoring Logic

Got some SD in with Pratt yesterday. Won the first destruction match and got smoked on the second.
Insert witty comment here.

The first destruction match was interesting, as the enemy (using my French and Polish decks by the way) dominated the map but we were able to set up good killing zones and just crushed them on points even though they could spend cash faster than us. We used a medium income rate and started with only 250 points for deployment.

The second destruction match, against two medium AI using pre-made decks (the French Blindee and... 31st Spearhead maybe? Can't recall for sure...), used a high income rate and 750 starting points for deployment. The enemy absolutely slaughtered our Phase A. I thought I had set the points to total annihilation, just using 30 minutes as the limit, but evidently I had set it to 2000 points -- we lost either a few seconds before or after the start of Phase B. I had exactly one unit left on the map (a self-propelled arty which, while nice, couldn't fight armor), and we spent the last three or maybe even five minutes unable to buy anything because we had already put out all our Phase A. The enemy just shot us to pieces.

In hindsight, we had both fielded decks that were meant to support stronger decks by pumping out numerous moderately decent units. (Mine was a Rommel's Circus deck that was designed around light and medium armor, nothing better really than Panzer IVs -- but it was ALL armor and guns, including in the scouts, no infantry, although with some gun transports that could serve as mobile machine gun posts.) Had we survived into Phase B and C, we would have had somewhat better kit out, especially Jamus (I still wouldn't have had any heavy armor) -- but so would our enemies.

Just completed Dishonored 2. A bit underwhelming. Reviewers over at RPS said that it felt like a modern Thief game. It did a bit, but the world felt very on-rails and the cooler more atmospheric levels were too few and far between. I beat the game as the female character, something I rarely do. I may go back at some point to replay as Corvo...the game is supposedly very different as him.

Rats play a much lesser role in the new Dishonored...I miss devouring enemies with them :/
