I've drifted back to playing Rise of Nations: Throne and Patriots recently. It's still the best RTS I've ever played, and makes most of the more recent entries in the genre look shallow and regressive by comparison.

Also, still dabbling online with Team Fortress 2 and picked up Unreal Tournament 3 from Steam (on sale for $12) which seems fun enough.

Finally, this weekend I'm hoping to start a new MMP game of EU3.

What's everyone else up to?

HOI 2, and now Crown of Glory 2.

Little bit of Eve here and there, and working on finishing up the FarCry SP game.

I'm dividing my time between Medieval 2 Total War (Stainless Steel 6.1) and Fallout, more of the former. Thinking about what game to pick next - Silent Hunter 4, or Jade Empire, both of which show promise.

Empire : Total War, Crown of Glory and a whole mess of wargames via Cyberboard.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Victoria: Revolutions (I also make a mod) and Warhammer40k: Dark Crusade  8)

Fallout 3 and EU3:IN put me off and I'm not going to play E:TW in its current state (and price :P ).

That's why Martinus, for all his spending on the trappings of wealth and taste, will never really have class.  He's just trying too hard to be something he isn't (an intelligent, tasteful gentleman), trying desperately to hide what he is (Polish trash with money and a severe behavioral disorder), and it shows in everything he says and does.  He's not our equal, not by a mile.

Still mostly EUIII, but I've also started a new CK-DV game.

Mostly HPS' Modern Campaigns '85 games.

The combat takes some getting used to, compared to WW2, because troops have a lot more mobility. At 1 mile/hex, 3h/turn this makes things rather messy, esp. as you can't create a closed front line in most scenarios, and (as WP) have to struggle through bottle neck bridges, minefields and enemy troops that are sometimes easy to bypass unknowingly and suddenly fnd behind your back. Recon is absolutely a key element of the game.

Additionally, many scenarios have a very tight time limit, and you can often only pin resistance down to allow the main force to advance.

I'm also a bad WP commander, because I'm usually conservative about my forces. I rather shell a position for three turns and then assault it then go in head over heels and lose half my men.
