I have a lot of other stuff to do but some possible gamey thingsare:
1) get V2 of MTW2's Third Age (all new Eirandor)
2) possible continuation of WTPAE PBEM of a proto-coral sea scenario
3) maybe some ARMA2/OA
4) MAybe some Rise of Prussia

ARMA2 Operation Arrowhead. Is it as good as it looks? Downloading the demo

Heat of Battle IV, where the National World War II Museum will be filled with wargamers playing board and minis games (and perhaps a few PC ones, too) for the entire weekend.
Later it turns into Night at the Museum, when the museum closes, but the games go on for a couple more hours. As a result, you can take a break and wander the museum when it's not packed. It's awesome.
The weather is here, wish you were beautiful. I'll be gaming may @$$ off. Look for pictures and coverage as time allows.

Status : Offline | Vicky 2. At V1.1 the course of the game is by 1852 already so deep in alternate history territory that Turtledove would blush in embarrassment.
Personally, I don't mind much, unless it's the same course every time. Some things would probably need tweaking, but I'm not someone who overanalyzes things and rather hangs on for the ride. I'm having a good time as Argentina at this point, anyways, but YMMV.

LB, I believe you live in N.O. and I assume that is where the WW2 covention is.
Of the little I know of you, it seems you are a big fan of that era.
It may interest you to know after much and careful deliberation on the subject of Hilter's last days, I decided on a book from James P. O'Donnel titled "The Bunker".
I am only few pages in but I thought you might appreciate the investigative scholarship that went into the book.

I don't live in NOLA but it's in easy driving distance, if a bit long. Red Stick, if you must know.
I'm not much of a fan of studying up on Hitler. I pretty much know the plot; the details don't interest me. However, at your recommendation I'll look it over on Amazon.

Status : Offline | 1.) Having finally figured out the sound/music issues I was having, I've returned to playing Distant Worlds with the new update. Am working on expanding the power & reach of the Kiadan Federation!
2.) I finally reinstalled MTW/VI and added the XL mod; I've started a campaign as the Bohemians. My previous campaigns as them have ended in tears, but I'm determined to do better this time. Will have to be very careful about where & when I expand.
3.) Birth of the Federation with the Balance of Power mod: I'm feeling a bit puckish, and so have chosen to be the Klingon Empire. Let the galaxy tremble before the sons & daughters of Kahless!
4.) I'm slowly working on my Swedish campaign in Empire Total War. Russia declared war early on, and am currently locked in a bitter struggle with them for control of the lands around the Baltic.

LB, I think that's actually a 360 game, not an expansion for LOTRO.
