The Boulevard of Broken FRIDAY!

[bayonetbrant]

What's your weekend looking like?

[JudgeDredd]

Now the rugby has finished, I will be able to do more gaming than I've been able to in the last few weeks.

I'm currently working on an Airfix 1/72 P-51D Mustang


and a Revell 1/72 P-47M Thunderbolt


They're built, I've just got masking to do and some manual painting before going for the airbrush, decals and matt coat.


As for gaming, I think I'll partake in some IL-2 Battle of Moscow/Stalingrad, F1 2017 and maybe a bit of Project Cars. If I can, I'd like to squeeze in OOTP 19 and I've recently reinstalled X3 Albion prelude

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Hopefully some Total War Arena with Nef and Destraex again (fun last weekend). Maybe some League of Legends with my son. Not sure what else, have plenty of stuff from the Xmas sales that I haven't even touched.

Probably not much gaming - I'm slowly working my way through some solo play of Pendragon: The Fall of Roman Britain. On the videogame side I'm going through an EUIV spell since the recent Immersion Pack just released.

Other than that though I have wedding stuff to do Saturday, and probably going to see my uncle for his birthday Sunday.

Arma 3 testing out the new tanks dlc
Synthetik, which I'm still absolutely having a blast with
DCS 2.5 in honor of Igor's passing
Maybe something Combat Mission...if I can figure out how to reinstall Battle for Normandy

That would be great. Although I am not sure I will be around at the right time this weekend.

Busy week is leading into a busy weekend, but been having fun wrapping my mitts around Red Orchestra 2 and RO2: Viet Nam, so I don't see that changing up anytime soon.

The learning curve on the Viet Nam themed game has been interesting - for instance, I'm pretty sure the punji stakes laid out on the outside of some firebase we were assaulting (I was playing as NVA) took me out as I mistakenly dove for cover onto them.  Ooopsies.  And dealing with US's air power! Whew!

Crazy that when the Viet Nam action gets to be too much, I go back to WW2 to relax.  Weird.

Good luck with that. I found that every time I took a hiatus from CM2 games of more than a couple of weeks I'd have to go through a long process to get them working again. I've washed my hands of BF's games until they do something about that ridiculous DRM.

Call of Duty: Ghosts and Wargame: Red Dragon.

I love this stuff. I grew up with these kits and some of my fondest memories are of my dad helping me make these. I remember him being impressed when I added camo to the Me 109 with some paint lightly brushed on a tissue for a mottling effect. The first two kits I got were the Airfix 1/72 Me 109 and Spitfire. I was also into the plastic soldiers and I once got the legendary D-Day gun emplacement set for my birthday.






I spent hours in my parent's back garden fighting epic battles. Great days. These days I do it on a PC. We are so lucky to have these virtual toys...


Will be playing more HOI 4 with the new beta patch when it's released sometime today. Have a great weekend guys.

Yeah - my brother and I used to make them with my dad...though I reckon he generally made them...can't recall. As for the soldiers, I can't remember the scale, but we had loads. Used to dig pits and trenches over in the local park and throw pens at them to knock them over...great days.

Synthetik with my son (this is JH's fault).  I bought two copies by the end of the Grogcast.

JTS Auerstedt

Jena KS

Playtesting X2

GLOOMHAVEN -- My wife, for the first time on your 22 years together, has insisted we play a game.  A little unnerving.

And I got hooked into another FoG2 tournament.  This one has gone completely South.  It's Romans vs. Gauls.  In one battle, we're both refusing to enter a marshy area and are plinking at each other with relatively limited missile units and a few light horses.  In the other, I am trying to turn legionaries and am discovering they are not fractionally as nimble en masse as a French 1805 line battalion.

I'm off today.

I have been playing a bit of Stellaris.

Field of Glory II- Legions Triumphant

LoL! That's awesome. Let me know what you think.

I knocked it a little during the Grogcast for not having gamepad support, but upon further thought, I think mouse and keyboard is far superior anyway. Aiming is very important and headshots are key. This will be hard to accomplish quickly with a gamepad.

Hanoi Rocks, now there's a blast from the past  :bd:

First (board)game session with Next War Poland set for next week, so some serious rules reading ahead. On computer side of things, not much this weekend I guess.
