I started the Aksum campaign but they're way off south by themselves and after wandering around a couple of turns and not finding anybody, I switched to the Goths. I know Hymar or whoever is across the Red Sea to the east are your closest targets but Aksum doesn't even have a port at the beginning much less a navy and I didn't want to wait for some action to start. But I may go back to them at some point. They seem interesting.

The weather looks like it will be decent this weekend, so putting up the pool, building a retaining wall flower bed and other assorted yard duties. Probably get in a bike ride with my daughter. As far as gaming i'll continue a Panzer Battles PBEM. After my major fail as the Germans in France, just took to many armor casualties but i did KIA 2000 frenchmen but armor losses were 2 to 1 in his favor. His used the Somua's tank groups effectively. We have moved on to the desert with me being the Brits and he's Rommel, after 9 turns out of 16 the Brits are doing well delaying Rommel with minimal forces and he hasn't hit my MLR yet. I seem to have a thing for open world survival, crafting games .Picked up another EA title  "Subsistance", its early but the base of the game is there, it's a one man show so i'm sure progress will be slow but from what i've seen updates are regular.

Also after the yard duties are done i'll knock back some cold ones out on the deck and put the headphone's on and pay tribute to Chris Cornell's music career with some solo stuff and Audioslave and Soundgarden.

'bout to head downstairs and run fatigue for the "Six Days in October" campaign...day after the historical battle coming up.

Have discovered the joys of Manual Defensive Fire in Tiller's Napoleonic series and am really enjoying a run at Saalfeld with Doug.

Finishing up the SEVENTH Gallipoli battle with Boggit...big, big, big pounding for my Turks.

And all the Borderlands with my son...200+ hours and counting.

Trying to fall back in love with Attila: Total War using the Radious Mod as the Visigoths but I'm just not getting that old special feeling I used to get from this one. I think we've both 'moved-on'.  :'(   So, started a new DC: Case Blue campaign as consolation-- she NEVER disappoints. And respects me in the morning.

  I've been reading up on attila and Company and the new basic theory of barbarian hordes is:
1) the barbarians got organized
2) Improved their farming and built some social strata like kings and overkings
3) Beat up each other and the Romans for hundreds of years
4) Achieved the Middle ages
5) And got to Middle Ages 2
6) wondered about the next version

Hoping to get a long stretch of victories this weekend in Warships.

Although the influx of less capable players, who've appeared since the 'Get a Bismarck' campaign started a few days ago, hasn't helped the teams lately.  :knuppel2:

I wish you would have given me a heads up on that, I might have come up.  That's only about 3 hours from here!   >:(

I was watching this last night, but it was a bit too raw and I ended up turning it off.  But basically this is the show he did right before he went back to the hotel and killed himself.  The audio isn't that good, but, well, I provide for your interest.

Ok, well I wasn't planning on it, but I think Jarhead has convinced me to find and install the Unsung mod for ARMA 3 and give that a go this evening.

Maybe a bit of some version of Scourge of War, and some Mount and Blade to round things out.

Finished off my day of World of Warships Premium this morning (after games yesterday with Nef, Hancock and another). Going to try studying this afternoon, and then Waterloo tonight on Asid's TS.

If it goes as badly for me as it did yesterday, I may not be WOWS'ing much this weekend either!   :uglystupid2:
