Status: offline 		1. Armada 2526 - bought it on a bit of a whim a few weeks ago and been playing 10-20 turns (about 30 mins play time at a sitting) a day since. Highly recommend if you have any interest in Space 4Xs.

2. Air Strike Eagles of WW2 - playing on and off 1-4 missions at a time since I got it a few weeks ago, although I'm not too good at it, it only took a glance a the manual and about 10 mins playing to figure out all the controls so it provides something a bit different when I'm not playing Armada.

3. Starting to digest the manual and play Uncommon Valour - in preparation to playing WitP:AE which has been sitting menacingly on my shelf (and hard drive) for the last 6 months.

Looks very deep and detailed, but accessible if you have played JTCS here from Matrix. I haven't started the campaign yet, I'm working through the bootcamp scenarios and learning the nuances of those. The tutorial is a little weak, and leaves a lot for you to discover, but it does get you going in the right direction. Bottom line games runs as advertised. If you are interested in the subject area its a winner.

Please also start playing PBEM. It's really fun.

Do you have ADS or something when it comes to gaming? I wonder how many are afflicted with that? Buy a new game and then shortly thereafter buying another new game and hardly playing them and rarely finishing one?

Status: offline 		No idea MFB. Short (very short) attention span. I've played some games throughout (start to finish) - some twice. But most do not grip me. I think the ones where I've played them straight through are good immersion story telling games...Mafia...Half Life 2...Max Payne...

I've got alot of wargames, and I've seldom finished them...even though I love them, they simply do not keep my attention for long. CMSF I love to bits - haven't fired it up in well over 2 or 3 months - possibly more.

I'm the same way lately myself. Nothing is grabbing me and getting me to want to play it for usually more than a day. I just bought several games: Storm over the Pacific, Mass Effect (because it was onsale so cheap@Steam), and Sins of a Solar Empire and I don't have the urge to play any of them. I did play SotP for a couple of days, but, found the ai a bit passive in the scenarios I played and am waiting on some patches and fixes now.

I do play a lot of Take Commands 2nd Manassas (open battles and only a brigade command), Hoplites and now Magic the Gathering:Duel of the Planeswalker gauntlets though and finish those battles. I'm getting to where I only like short quick gaming sessions and playing those games I know I can finish in a setting or until I get tired.

Hell, I'm even playing "The Game of Life" by Hasbro for gods sakes somebody shoot me. I'm also installing "Sorry" and "Clue" on my netbook. Thinking about it I might install "Stratego" too and possibly the old Hasbro "Risk" game.

Is that Jane's Fleet command?

I remember 'Achtung Spitfire' but not 'Over the Reich'.
