Favorite plane: A DC-3

A very stable plane, great cockpit and external view capability, easy to land... I use it to just cruise around someplace scenic (like flying over the Rocky Mountains at dusk). I can just sit back and relax and enjoy the sights.

Now that is about as far from wargaming as you can get!

New arrival: TRAINZ Railroad Simulator 2006 (I have been following this one since the original TRAINZ was released).

I'm not a railroad buff so I do not enter into the intricate depths of engineering, but as a "tourist" it is so much fun to drive a train over huge routes with incredible scenery... it's like being there. The land version of cruising in my DC-3.

Highly, highly recommended!

The game is very versatile and users can develop (and share) their own trains, cars, buildings, routes, scenery and so forth. In fact, they have hundreds of thousands of downloads available for every conceivable railroading experience. Even tanks and armored cars and fighter planes (yes, you can have invisiable train tracks in the sky and fly aircraft and also seagoing vessels can be tracked through the oceans and rivers). Now if a wargamer got involved in this... I can see a scenario set up that shows "the front" with trenches and troops and then uses the trains to support the troops, transport tanks and equipment, and so forth The simulator supports detailed industries, car loading and unloading, automated schedules and train drivers etc etc so this would be quite workable. I can see the messages popping up now... "ammunition and troops needed on the Meuse" and your troop train quickly leaves Paris to save the day.

Hmm... has potential.

Seriously, check out this simulator. It is way too easy to dismiss this as being the sole province of the model train in the basement set, but it's much more.

Check it out at: Auran.com

And guys, both of the above can really appeal to your wife if you approach it from the "tourist" angle. "Honey, I got you a trip to Paris for Christmas... ergh... a simulated one, I mean" Seriously, an easy to fly plane over Paris at midnight... gorgeous. Driving a steam locomotive through the Canadian Rockies... priceless. Simulated trips that would cost you a small fortune to do for real.

I second this as I too find this an addictive game...With the exception of CivIII, I was never much of a sim gamer, but The Movies is so innovative and fun, that it will occuppy many hours of my time...at least until Guns of August finally comes out!....

My favorite game is a Boardgame, alas it's a Wargame, but just had to include it. "Advanced Squad Leader" hence my moniker. Safe Hunting.

Status: offline 		I have "Star Wars Republic" still in wraped box. is it any good or do you prefer Republic2 over Republic

I don't play any non wargames right now. Its more for lack of time then any other reason.

I did get Civilization II recently.Yet, to play it.
