Also playing HistWar as it went down to under 10 Euros! After a rocky start I'm enjoying it. HistWar 2 is looking lovely though.

FPRS, CtGW, GaW, BA and Solar Wars - a game that is $5 right now at Gamersgate. If I only had $5 to spend this Christmas, it would be on this one. Surprising depth, easily moddable, one of those nice surprises out of nowhere. Just don't expect a manual [;)]

What games interest you today and why?

I can't seem to find what I'm looking for or wanting to play ...

Game sims are like a menu; even if you're fond of a certain dish, you don't want to eat it every day, so I have a variety of games from different periods with different engines; everytime one of them gets a new patch, my interest in it is peaked.

Last week I finally finished the tutorial scenario for Squad Battles Eagles Strike. Decided today to play a quick battle with CMBO instead. I still like that old game.

Finally finished a legion unification kf italy campaign in ipad, probably the best game i have found on ipad that and conpuest, and john tillers panzer campaigns all tough games. Legion is a simple game but now playing the germania campaign and it will be tough once all the german sides are against me which will inevitably happena s i expand, i like that the ai players are not so easily won over with diplomacy and dont always give up if havethem fighting tot he last settlement, on one instance i refused their peace offer demanding resources as wella nd the damn welll atttacked me right away refusing my demands. But i am playingt hat as. Iw as away from home, camping and without laptop.
Also finishing off a toaw3 multiplayer of nato vs soviet 1990 with them attempting to take hamburg.
Am waiting on the next cmano update before playing it some more, but i got Hps sims War over the Mideast recentlly which is simlar to cmano and its pretty good
The release of pandora recently too which i dont have, but interested me in alpha centauri,which i played for the first time last week - wow, its so detailed and intelligent, and if pandora is like it all then i will def get that eventually

Scourge of War has my undivided attention right now. Playing co-op against the AI is a blast, versus each other is also fun as heck.

TOF- PBEM
ATG (vs AI)
CoH recently purchased (so just starting to play)
SP-WAW (long term campaign-watchtower)
Command Ops-BFTB (watching tutorials)

ATG has most of my attention at the moment. Great game. Would like to get MWIF and start learning soon.

Combat Mission to me is what all other tactical combat sim/strat games are compared to [X(]. The Battlefront group is second to none. Matrix/Slitherine are a very very close second! [&o]

The Campaign Series, of course. Hankering to play WITP:AE (Symon's DBB PI scenario). If JTS releases a new American Civil War title for Christmas, it's an automatic buy, and I'll try to play a bit of that too. So many games, so little time... [:(]

The Combat Mission series lost a few stars from me (2) when they took out TCP/IP play from the turn based players or those that played WEGO online with the older game. I don't mind them adding things like rts to the main game, that's no biggie as long as there is an OPTION to play WEGO which they did, but, they totally removed the TCP/IP way to play for us turn based players and only made online available to rts players. Of course there is still PBEM, but I didn't play most of my games online PBEM I was a big fan of TCP/IP type play.[:-]

I bought the add-ons for Skyrim so I am trying to plow through it. I also bought Pandora and have been playing it quite a bit.
I also have bought a few games from the sale that are lined up for play next when I find the time.

Out of all the games I've purchased lately I am really digging Advanced Tactics Gold. I like how you can start with nothing and then build up a military, the frontlines naturally forming according to resources and terrain. At first it seems like I have more men and gear than I could possibly need, a couple turns later I'm desperately trying to get more troops to the front to blunt an enemy advance!

I really wish there was some way to automate the production end of things a bit, but I guess with practice you can plan things out more efficiently. I tend to end up with a big mish-mash of stuff at HQ.

There is, get a little game called Empire Deluxe from killerbee software. Simple game and really the one that inspired ATG. It won't give you a headache playing it and it's very challenging and the production can be automated.

I also play a little game called Operation Olympic. Haven't managed to win yet. I meet the objectives as assigned but lose to many men doing it.
