A quiet Saturday.  :o  So I'll be working a little on my long-neglected DC: Sealion Campaign against those insanely tough Brits with their funny helmets and pretty airplanes that love to kill all my troops. Have a great weekend AC Dragoons everywhere.

Screenshots!!

Hoping to get in some sort of gaming this weekend, the 4 yr old asked for Memoir 44 so we might break that out later.

I've got the Matrix version of DC and I don't recall being able to do screenies. I know you can get a pic of the whole front at end-turn so I could do that maybe. I'll look into it. And post pics only if I win. Lose and it'll be 'technical difficulties'.  :nope:

That's how I have to print out hard copies of certain patient transaction notes at work because our software is so lame, and it's actually one of the better packages out there since our business is so niche.

OK. I'll try that. I have a screenshot file in my game directory but it's empty. Thanks.

If you don't have a graphics program, an easy way is to ALT + PRTSCN the screen you want to capture, then CTRL + V in a Word doc. When the image pastes to the document, right click on the doc and select Save as Picture. In the window that pops up, be sure to select the type of file (I think PNG is default but you should be able to choose JPEG or a handful of other options). Also, choose where you want to save the pic, and click Save.

We did end up playing 18 Chesapeake and it was a blast! Makes me want to see if I can find the PC version that MarkShot played. I know I have it on one of my backup drives somewhere around here.

Gonna take another crack at playing Paths of Glory.  I’ve never managed to play past 1916 before we end up quitting due to time constraints.

I almost put this on my table but went with Zeppelin Raider by Compass instead.

Got postponed until next Friday.

But I do have Stellar Horizons coming this week too.....Hmmm........

Very interested in what you think of Stellar Horizons.... cost is steep but looks cool...

Played a couple of games of Inis and Sekigahara. Trying to get the Battles of the American Revolution tri-pack to the table at some point this week.

Did a few missions of Zeppelin Raider. I think I'm getting the feel for it. It's definitely not like Greg Smith's other designs; there's a lot going on and managing gas cells on a Zeppelin is not easy, plus you're at the mercy of the weather.

Just finished our game of Paths of Glory.  It was fun but went the way all our games seem to go.  Stalemate on the Western Front, Austria-Hungary disintegrating under combined pressure from Russia and Italy, the Germans desperately trying to plug holes and the Turks doing nothing in the Middle East.   I was able to break through with the Russians in fall 1916 and win on VPs.

That's how all your games of PoG go? How many would you say you've played?
