Been playing something COMPLETELY different lately...Stardew Valley.
For some weird reason it has that "just one more turn"-feel that civilization possesses.

Now playing:
Oriental Empires is fun at least so far, though I keep getting my ass handed to me in every campaign I play, which is only a positive thing =)
Sengoku Jidai is brilliant, waiting for Mandate of Heaven! Though seems not as popular as Pike and Shot, which is a bit of a shame...
Also playing quite a lot of "The Seven Years War (1756-1763)" (http://store.steampowered.com/app/400470/), now that the first DLC is out too.

With all those cavalry units and no airplane counters; definitely WWI. Also note the Russian units extend southward from the East Prussian border.

Excellent! Thanks for the link! [:)]

I just started Shadowrun: Dragonfall after leaving it waiting in my library for a long time now. I beat the first of the new Shadowrun games earlier this year, and everyone seems to say that Dragonfall blows it out of the water in every way. Looking forward to it, because I thought the first game was decent enough, if a bit linear (both in terms of the story and gameplay).

I've also been playing Overwatch for multiplayer fix. Love how unique all the characters are, while at the same not being that difficult to play.

I wish I had more time for wargames, but they just don't fit in the schedule right now.

I had some time to try out Great Naval Battles 2 first battle of Guadalcanal yesterday and it was great fun and a mess of things, which was not unlike the real event. I had the Sterett accidentally torpedo the O'Bannon while that ship collided with the Imperial Navy's destroyer Harusame. The Japanese big guns sank my only heavy cruisers San Francisco and Portland. All of it not good for me and probably worse than how the US performed in reality.

I tried the same scenario on SSI's Warship and that was also just as hard, and i accidentally beached the San Francisco onto Guadalcanal island with the other ships of its division crashing like accordions into the back of it, doing more damage to myself than what the Japanese fleet did.
