Χαιρετίσματα athineos, and Schöne Grüße Herr Klink!

I am in total agreement with both of you. Though if I was to be stranded somewhere on a deserted island and had only one game to choose from, it would be the Campaign Series due to its endless replayability. But there comes a time where I do feel burnt out as well. During these times I have tried other wargames but it seems that my burn out extends to those.

I, too, find relief in other genres. Since my hands/fingers are no longer quick enough for anything other than a turn-based IGO/UGO, I tend to look for something that will accommodate and not frustrate. Recently I started playing Dragon Age: Inquisition. I had, in my game stash, the first in the series, Dragon Age: Origins, so before finishing Inqusition, I started playing Origins. Though not technically an IGO/UGO, you can pause the game to plan your next action.

As an RPG, I find it fun and it also has a lot of replayability. Being an old D&D player, yes, in the basement with Cheetos orange stained fingers, I like a good RPG. And as another plus, controls are easy to get used to with Dragon Age (though I did cave and get an xbox and play the game on that). That being said, burnout aside, I still find myself loading up Campaign Series for yet another go. Most recently the new Middle East. Addictive? Perhaps, but I don't care, it is still a heck of a lot of fun. And unless they come out with a treatment program for CS addicts...Well, I probably will not admit I am an addict anyway.

να έχεις μια υπέροχη μέρα, athineos.

Ich wünsche ihnen einen wunderbaren Tag, Herr Klink.

Kłaniam się,

Janusz
