Very busy with Strategic Command, Wars of Succession beta and The Hunter, but if I got more free time, this is my favorite.

Since I would give my right testicle for a computer version of Avalon Hill's Longest Day! There is Great Panzer Battles Normandy, but I think that is battalion level. I used to own it, would not really recommend. There may be something pre-made in The Operational Art of War III (or you could wait for IV). Also owned Tillers version, was not so hot either. Good Luck, Post if you happen to find something, I might take a look at it too. What about GGWitW?

I finally got around to buying CoH: Storm of Steel,to complete my collection. Funds willing, next month I will be buying SoW Ligny and Quatre Bras. Finally, in Jan hope to be able to pick up Ageod Spanish Civil War. When I will find time to play them....... who knows?

demyansk -> RE: Whatcah gonna get? (11/25/2016 11:16:48 PM)
I agree with you Sharif. I bought a few games as well and even bought Battlefield 1 since it was on sale. Then, I bought a Nvidia 1070 card. I still play PZ corps as my favorite. I like Order of battle to and campaign middle east.

Greybriar -> RE: Whatcah gonna get? (11/26/2016 1:29:43 AM)
Oh my God! Gary Grigsby’s War in the Pacific - Admiral’s Edition is on sale for half price. I wonder if I would even have the time to play it if I bought it? [&:]

FF_1079 -> RE: Whatcah gonna get? (11/26/2016 2:43:54 AM)
I am going to pick up CMANO and it's stand alone, the value is incredible and I use to play Harpoon for hours at a time back in the 90's. Looking forward to creating some old Cold War scenarios myself.

dogman2828 -> RE: Whatcah gonna get? (11/26/2016 6:00:42 AM)
Am waiting for my anniversary coupon on Dec 7th. Then I will probably get GGwitw and witp-ae. Have been enjoying WITE. I have too many games.

Ranger33 -> RE: Whatcah gonna get? (11/26/2016 3:54:32 PM)
Ended up getting a couple things in the steam sale. 7 Days to Die: Had it on my wishlist forever and at $10 I said sure why not. Day of Infamy: Figured $12 wasn't bad for some classic WW2 shooting. Probably will just play it until Squad starts getting WW2 mods. Now after that bargain shopping, I'm floating the idea of Total Warhammer or Final Fantasy XV. Trying to resist splurging. Seems like Total Warhammer won't go on sale anytime soon and FFXV scratches my nostalgia itch, I've played most of the FF games at one point or another.

I also like Campaign: Middle East. I have a real life connection in that my Father served in the 67 Campaign as an MP.

Played WOW since about 2007, latest expansion is meh. Just too many years to find this game exciting any longer. Diablo 3, played for 3 years, just can't play it anymore. Grim Dawn, the same. Tried the Mass Effect trilogy again, boring the second time through... Tried Divinity, original sin, nope... Tried Galactic Civilizations 3, what a waste of money. Flashpoint Campaigns, good game system, but limited scenario time frames all based on a what if that never happened. Lost interest for now, but I watch the forum for expansion news. Waiting for release of Operational Art of War IV, with the fixes to turn burn and expansion of the map size this could be ok for awhile. Looking at Command: Modern Naval and Air, Looks ok, pricey for my budget, so I hesitate because I gotten so many crappy games lately. Pretty sure I'm in a big rut in my gaming life (which spans 35 or so years). What I would really like to see (and I won't in my lifetime) is a real good Science Fiction wargame. Not a rock paper scissors style (which they all are right now). Something like a hybrid between War in the Pacific and Command: Modern Naval and Air. But as far as Matrix goes, TOAW IV and Flashpoints next release are on my list. Possibly Command: Modern Naval and Air. Yeah at 64 I'm in a rut for gaming. Might be due to my age as they sure don't cater gaming to my age group! Ha! Wow, I could have written this. I'm 61. [&o]

Well thank you Matrix for drawing up a sale intended just for a guy like me. A lot of these games I don't have. So it's similar as being a kid in the candy store! I can even get the boxed version.

[;)] I do this a lot and look back and think, "OK, which games did I finish and which games did I not finish?" And then even some games I finished, I play again, because I have an itch. This is a major reason why I talk myself out of buying games. Because I have a lot of games I never finished.

For the tabletop evenings I'm going to buy "Churchill" by GMT. For the PC... dunno. Right now I'm happy with the games I have and I don't see anything really "yummy!" on the horizon. I'm not burned out, I'm simply happy with my current stack of (very replayable) games - both for the table and the screen.

"Churchill" is a great looking game..."Churchill is NOT a wargame, but a political conflict of cooperation and competition." Boy it must have sold out fast, a second printing is in the works. It's also highly rated for Solitaire play...[:)] Thanks for the heads up! https://www.gmtgames.com/p-565-churchill-2nd-printing.aspx

aaatoysandmore -> RE: Whatcah gonna get? (11/28/2016 12:34:51 AM)
I recently got Mount & Blade Viking Conquest Reforged and it's been a lot of fun so far. It's totally different from Mount and Blade Warband vanilla. Lot's of Factions and lots of resources and quests and surprises.. There's even a place ana guy you have to guess his riddles to get a Prize. Quite different from your regular run of the mill games of same ole same ole. I can't put it down atm.(Just took a break to come tell you about it.) I usually don't like anything first person shooter types but this one is different in that it uses swords and axes and knives and shields and spears and bows and arrows and so much more. You literally have to fight for your life in every battle and you can make those side step hit em in the back moves sometimes and this one allows you to chop their heads off if you hit em just right.[:'(] You also can just command and control your whole army and don't have to fight at all. It has complex unit placements and formations and you can tell them what to do and when up to 10 command slots to setup and choose from. It's a commanders dream game next to Command Ops I think. You'll need the base game Mount and Blade Warband as this is more of a Mod than a full stand alone game. You can get both for about $10 or less during the Holiday sales. I can't stress the different game that Gremlins Inc. is as well. It's a board game converted to PC and the AI is ruthless in it and the multiplayer is actually fun to participate in and I hadn't participated in an online multiplayer game other than MMO's since the Age of Empires game. If you like games of skill vs random die rolls and RNG then get Conquest Medieval by Slitherine here. Plays like a chess game with a twist and uses Medieval playing pieces of varying power and a rock paper scissors type play and where supply lines to your units matter. Sometimes it just takes a change of scenery to get out of that rut and these games really do it for me. Perhaps they can for you also. [;)] All of these games listed should be under $10 during the holidays. Pick em all up for the price of one Slitherine regular priced game. [:D]

Also watching some lets plays or reading AAR's helps me out of the rut.
