FRIDAY's a Battlefield

Is it a stats driven game?

Is it a stats driven game?

Definitive stat driven with dice rolling under the hood.  You manage fighters, payroll, staff hiring and most of the other aspects of a sport manager game.  It's incredibly addicting and I've easily gotten my $1.50 out of it already.

A couple of guys here were playing it a while back. Sounds good.

@judge:  As one must both register for PBEM++ and associate that registration with a registered copy of the game, I have thought for some time that there was DRM in it.  That said, Doug and I should have pounded our way through TWO skirmishes today, but were only able to finish a portion of one as we swapped turns back and forth.  The game is, in my judgment, the definitive digital treatment of the era in a league with IM's "Great Battles" and the Julius Caesar game from Western Civilization software making the lack of live play all the more difficult to accept.

I'll stop now...

I ended up playing couple of things that were not even on my radar; World of Warplanes and Fields of Glory 2. I never had the privileged of playing World of Warplanes before, but I heard it was bad, but patch 2.0 got released last week and it completely reworks most of the game. For an arcade flying sim I don't think its bad, its no Falcon 4.0 but its not trying to be, but I lost a good part of Saturday to it.

I had a friend gift me Fields of Glory 2. Only had a chance to play 2 games so far. I lost my first battle, which was the tutorial. My 2nd battle was a quick battle, me as the Romans vs a Spaniard army. Went pretty well. I lost a few units, mainly because they were fairly isolated on my left flank, but once I broke the AIs left flank I was able to roll them up the AI line quickly.

The literal video of this is excellent:

Omg, at first this was pretty mediocre for a literal lyric entry, and then the dance interlude started and I was crying. :DD Lord, I needed that this week. Thx, AB.
