Yes, but I brushed it off.  :whistle:

Last week consisted of playing Warehouse Move : The Game. It was a debacle. Do not recommend. This week is Inventory : The Game. It doesn't feature the snafus, but it's a lot more dull and offers no options for testing the demolition capabilities of a rental forklift.

Counters punched and clipped, so I've moved on to sorting and storing.


I’ve spent half my life’s earning on wargames, women, and drink. The rest I wasted.

If I get any game time it will be Mutant Year Zero, Stellaris, and maybe check out Strategic Command WWII: World at War.

Probably Stellaris. Fired it up last night after the new update. World management has changed... a LOT! Gonna take a bit to take just that in. Lots of other small changes as well.. kinda like a new game.
Haven't bought the MegaCorp DLC yet... but I won't hold out too long..  :P

I'll be playing 'By Shot, Shock and Faith' By Hexasim, which finally arrived yesterday.

right now, playing one of my solo eldritch horror sessions - first few mythos cards against 'the elder things' this time... way to go! :)

enjoy your weekend!
chem!

edit: should really be doing different stuff, also some never watched YT vids of 'scourge of war waterloo' are nagging at the back of my head...   :groovy:

Did you buy Mutant Year 0 PC game or are you talking about the RPG?  I was not that impressed with the RPG - the meta story line seems pretty limiting.

As for me, I'm grading cases this weekend and going to see Auburn play Dayton in Men's Basketball Saturday night.  Then I have to write 3 finals - not that many will be taking them.  IF I get all of that done on Saturday & Sunday, then I finally finished up replaying PanzerKreig so my core force is ready for EndKreig in OOB WW2.  It took 2 weeks to play through Blitzkreig and PanzerKreig to get my core forces and leaders for EndKreig.  The price you pay when you update a game engine.

The PC game. For the RPG, I have been just ignoring the story line and running it my own way. I do like the rules.
Also, if you have any interest, the rules that add pure strain humans to the mix is currently on Kickstarter.

Grabbed Thrones of Britannia during it 'sale' this week. But will probably be finishing my latest Attila campaign first. Maybe do some IL2 BoX flights in JU 88, He-111 or PE2.

3 weeks of glorious stress free gaming... or that's what it was supposed to be until my wife's friends and their awful kid decided to come visit for 4 days between Christmas and New Year's... ah well... still no work!

Got a bathroom to finish in the basement.

Stellaris to play with out the MegaCorp DLC... at least as long as I can hold out.
Learn how to fly properly in IL-2 Stalingrad... maybe join Tuna on line so he can have someone to laugh at.
Fight urge to buy new BattleTech DLC until I at least play more of the original campaign.

Holland '44 on the table to learn and bash away at.

And my wife bought a new 2000 piece jigsaw puzzle... something we do every year at Christmas.

I now have four JTS Napoleonic games running at the same time via PBEM.  All games that do not permit some form of MP should really self-examine.

Finish up and begin playtesting "Et Sans Resultat!" Teugen-Hausen set for Tabletop Simulator.  Its a fascinating system that wants to smash more than a few TTG Napoleonic conventions.  I hope it works.

The second round of the FoG2 Christmas Tourney has begun.  The first one went so well...

And, oh yes, the 1809 KS!
