I’m with you - as soon as I get an enemy contact I pause the game to assess it and figure out that to do - how they do map wide decisions on the fly can only be practice practice practice and I haven’t got time for that - I have noted that the streamers on their channels are pretty much exclusive to eugen so maybe that’s all you’ve got to play hour after hour - and as much as I aspire to this my tastes are just to wide to say that’s my game

Fields of Fire has been on the table for a few weeks now. I've yet to learn this baby...so it's going up. I might not get to play it this weekend but I'll be reading the rules over the weekend and into next week

Hmmm… I seem to remember that I owe you a game of something or other….  ;)
We should really start that up.

Definitely more Stellaris this weekend.  I've had a pretty good game going the last few days already.  The novelty of being able to automate exploration and construction ships has yet to wear off -- love it! 


I'm also planning to poke around Warlock 2 some, now that the Renaissance mod received another major update.  I've been in the mood for a bit of fantasy 4x/grand-strategy lately, and it's been forever since I checked this one out.

Microsoft Flight Simulator and Sea of Thieves as always.

I've finally made good on my promise to get back to Homeworld this weekend. Started the campaign again, this time remembering that you carry stuff over to the next mission....

Not sure what else I'll play yet. I'll probably get the kids to play some Tower Unite with me so that I can kick their arses at bowling and mini golf.  ;D

Working right thru but I hope to get time to look further into Nebulous Fleet Command and some more DW2 and working out if processes are working as planned or I’m just breaking stuff

And trying out a new map in Warno

Thrones of Britannia. Trying to get to where I can recruit the ultimate unit of mayhem and bloodlust, the British Soccer Fan Unit.  :hehe:

You treat them as berzerker units:  They do tremendous damage, but you can't control them in battle.  :whistle:

Just bought Keplerth. I've been curious about it for a while and it was only just over a tenner. Might be able to persuade The Boy to play it with me too.

Aye but they only hate each other. You're safe if you're not catholic or protestant. Millwall fans take on ANYONE.
