I love your optimisim pal  O0

I think I'll play some God of War, F1 2017, Total War Saga:Britannia and possibly some Battletech.

If I've got some more spare time, I'll probably get Conflict of Heroes out on the table and maybe either start making one of my model tanks (Chieftain, Tiger I, Leopard II or Magach) or continue with my Starship Enterprise OS model...which I've set aside until I can get to grips properly with spray painting - so that one is an outside shot

Battletech
Steel Division to try the new free sides (big red one and the liebstandarte or whatever they are called).
Maybe some arena and warships.

Hopefully some combat mission fortress italy PBEM if my mate can get his patching in order.

Well, Monday is a holiday up here, Queen Victoria's Birthday, and then I'm on vacation for the 4 days after that!  <:-)

Lots and lots of yard work this week. It's finally time to get the vegetable garden planted, deck furniture and gazebo setup etc. etc.

But most mornings and late evenings will be gaming time.

Gotta get back to Battletech.

And Steel Division with new content.

And Cold Waters with new content.

All my PBEM's are complete... not sure if I'll start any more as it's summer.

Maybe try to arrange a LnLT VASSAL match with SDR.

And probably Civ VI... cause I'm adicted to CiV game....  :P

Out-of-town weekend for me, so I'm stuck with whatever I've got on the laptop (damned if I can remember).

Stay safe, folks, and enjoy the rain if you're on the East Coast.

Some FoG mp games with mcfcivo
Pike and Shot MP with Sauron
Warhammer 40K Armageddon with Sauron
Some Combat Mission SP, and hoping to finish my US 4th Infantry division campaign on the Utah break out
Maybe a bit more of my Revolution under Siege campaign playing the Bolshevik dictators.

Yes Apotheon is atmospheric and great to pick up for an hour or so, especially if you like Greek myths.

I'm level maxed in Pillars of Eternity.  I'm close to finishing the White March 2.  Then back to kill the lich, the adra dragon, and win the game.

I flew the MiG29 in Falcon 3.0 waay more than either the Falcon or Hornet. It was sort of the Tie-Fighter of that series.

I picked up Steel Division deluxe edition and a dlc in the Steam sale. Steel Division was 75% off! \m/

Some more Red Baron, some DVG War of the Worlds, and hopefully even some At Any Cost and/or Fields of Fire.

Nookrium (You Tuber) loves roguelikes and he mentioned this one that is in kickstarter and you can download the alpha to try.

It's a bit of Darkest Dungeon and ADOM, and what's nice is it's got great voice acting, and good soundtrack for it too, fits the moody atmosphere, the UI is pretty good and it's terribly "unfair".

It's called Stoneshard.  Alpha demo is free to try. Pretty sweet. I might throw a few bucks at the kickstarter because it seems to be a pretty good one.

I'd be up for a game.  I just picked up Heroes of N. Africa last week and I've got Heroes of Normandy coming next week.

Stuck working night shifts this weekend but then I'm on my week off.  Nerdy boardgaming Monday and Wednesday.  Not sure what else.  I'm right near the end of Battletech.  I can start the final mission at any time but I'm trying to buff up my weaker pilots and add a few more heavy/assault mechs to my pool before I do.  It's not going well.  The side missions I'm getting offered are all 4 or 4.5 skulls and they're beating the hell out of me.  I usually come out poorer than when I went in and down a few of my ++ or +++ weapons and mods.

Last one was brutal!  My little lance vs 4 Thunderbolts, 2 Quickdraws, a Stalker, and an Awesome.  The last four on that list were all positioned atop a cliff and rained LRMs on my head for the entire mission.  No jumpjets on two of my mechs so it was up to my two grasshoppers to get up there and start laying down beatings.   Lot of missing limbs by the end of that one.

Power & Revolution Kind of got a bit hooked on that for couple of weeks

TW Napoleon Darth mod, just had an epic battle. Think TW really suited this era. Would love a new Empire TW.

Fired up the Ancient Empires mod for Attila and it looks pretty fantastic...but the faction I want to play (Nabatea) has no victory conditions yet...maybe I play Nabatea in Rome 2 and play a cool Hellenistic faction in Ancient Empires?

Hello, long weekend!

Going to get a few board games to the table. War of the Ring, Yamatai, John Company and 13 Days will all hopefully be tried out. I also acquired a copy of Sid Meier's Civ (FFG version) that I need to read the rules for and sort out.

I will also be playing the game called beer. I like the one and will probably play it a lot.
