So what game are you busy playing.

I'm currently binging on 72nd scale models, a lot of Airfix classics. Today it's an Opel Blitz and a PaK 40 anti-tank gun set.

Still not entirely sold on Vassal regardless of how convenient it is.
I still prefer to push physical pieces, much like I prefer to own physical books, hardcover if possible.
Sometimes digital is too much like 'self-love' acceptable, but not what you really wanted.

I currently play World in Flames, the Matrix version, and Bombing the Reich. Although I defend the Reich rather than bombing it.

I've been playing a lot of baseball games lately.
OOTP 21 - Started a Mets historical team beginning in 1977 hoping to avoid the lean years that followed.
OOTP 21 Perfect Team - Running my three free to play teams in Silver & Gold promotion and relegation cycles LOL.
Pennant Chase - Running teams from the '70s, '80s, '90s, 2000's, 2010's and '70' to present. It's interesting but moves a bit slow, three games a day. www.pennantchase.com if anyone wants to check it out.
Civil War II, FOG-Empires & WITPAE get my wargaming time on the weekends.

Try Empyrion. It's Wurm in space. I've had this one for years and it keeps getting better and better.

Glad you've found a baseball game you enjoy. Just my opinion, but I must have paid $5 for Baseball Mogul 2015 on Steam and it appears to be a cut above what I saw on the DK page for $40+. Complete "commissioner" mode editing options, real players from all eras, and like DK, not crazy complex like Out of the Park Baseball.

Might be a consideration if you're looking to add to your collection.

Thanks for the post!

Bought JTS Tour of Duty but can't play it comfortably. WW2 games I can do better because I never met the relatives who didn't make it.

Status: offline 		I´m sitting and scratching my head over GG´s War in the East. The trick seems to be to leave the units where they stand and the game does the rest. At least in the first scenario beginning it on easy difficulty setting.
Kind of heavy to get to know it with all of it´s info screens, but i hope i will in time get some understanding of what´s going on there eventually, the feeling of being a rookie is humiliating and confusing.

Who am I to help anyone, but what I did from the night it was released was go into the editor, which is super-easy to use, and modify the starter scenarios. It allowed me to understand the game more, as well as scale back and turn some of those small battles into more interesting meeting engagements.

Also, the DLCs are worth it, as they contain several "doable" scenarios, and they are on sale right now, as you probably already know.

Best wishes!

Status: offline 		I´m not wargaming so much as doing what i think is the least cumbersome to do. Sleep and look around, i have come to realize that it´s what requires less effort and energy.
Typing here is dangerously effortless as well and i better watch out so i don´t type too much. If theoretically it could be monitored and recorded who´s the laziest person in the world right now i would like to know how i measure up for the grand first place trophy, if there´s any prize to be had. Maybe a punishment instead is appropriate? I try to see things objectively.

I bought six new Matrixgames games + one DLC and now i sit here and type instead, they´re patched up and working though, nice.
Your turn to type. Good day!
(Don´t "make me" spam this forum like i have spammed YouTube, the flood of Biblical times comes to mind).
Edit: Of or from Biblical times? Both then or one of them.
