Bought UV in 2002.  Since then I've played UV, WitP, and AE.  Is there anything else?

Of course, Dan... there's Georgia football! Well... maybe not this year...[:(]


Since UV came out, I also have been unable to seriously get into any wargame other than this series. I've bought a few, but they don't hold my interest.

In the winter when I have extra time, I've been known to kill hours as well as critters in various RPGs from Bethesda and Bioware...

I play SH4 with RFB and RSRD mods. Sometimes fire up IL2. Some Ageod ACW (never as Yankees). Some HPS Panzer Campaigns (Eastern Front).

Great question...If I had FREE time...

Computer games ... HPS Panzer Campaigns... Matrix .... SPWaW - its old but an old favorite
Board Games ... ASL ... Barbarossa ... Star Fleet Battles


Perhaps when I retire someday!  Right now...lucky to play AE on occasion.  Right now Graduate school and 2 full-time jobs get most of my attention!
I play and post for fun...nothing stated ever carries with it the thought to irritate. If something does...privately PM and I will review.

I fear that you are most likely correct on that one. At least here on the forum Dan and I have you outnumbered, my trade school friend...

I am in the lucky position to have free access to many hundred games - have to play (or more correctly test and evaluate) them by profession. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's the horror (had to playtest Pacific Storm [X(] - must admit that as an PacWar/UW/WITP/AE veteran I was not entirely unbiased...). [/align] [/align]Sometimes I get hooked and continue playing a few selected games in my spare time. Was the case with Sniper Elite and the first S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - I'm not a FPS fanboy but those two got me. Currently playing Risen.[/align] [/align] [/align] [/align] [/align] [/align] [/align] [/align]

Mostly CoD4 but latly I started playing Forgotten Hope 2 which is a WWII mod for Battlefield 2. Actually its a very good mod and alot of fun! Playing FPS:s when not playing witp is a good way to let your brain rest for a while :)

I play a number of games: Rock Band 2, Super Smash Brothers Brawl, Fall Out 3, Team Fortress 2, IL-2, DotA (WC3 custom map) and World of Warcraft off and on (love/hate relationship currently). I also bounce between a few RTS games, which ever strikes my fancy for the day really; Dawn of War 2, Close Combat 3, Supreme Commander, and Command & Conquer Generals are the main ones.


It's always nice to have a good number of fall back games when waiting for a turn or if you just want to play something a little (or a lot) less mentally taxing.

City of Heroes when I just want to go around beating up things...

City of Heroes was and still is an excellent game...


Either of you try Champions Online? Supposed to be a really good follow up for CoH.

City of Heroes when I just want to go around beating up things, and Fallout3 when I REALLY want to go around blowing stuff up.

City of Heroes was and still is an excellent game. Shame they didn't do a lifetime subscription deal like Lord of the Rings.

Christmas is coming so it is almost snowman time.

Another City of Heroes player here. It's a good way to pass the time while waiting for turns.

Shameless plug: CoH has a "create your own mission" feature. I published one with a WWII in the Pacific theme. I bet that relatively few of the people who played it got most of the references I slipped in there, like the Kagero-class robots or the fact that one hapless victim of the Japanese supervillain is named Ghormley. It's mission 146290, "A Wind From the Past."

I've seen Online Champions and wasn't impressed with it.  The graphics look childish and the combat routines are distinctly 2nd rate behind CoH's.  My wife got a membership, we both played around with it, then dropped it after being very disappointed with it.

No other wargames, but Age of Wonders/Shadow Magic for fantasy and Action Football (mostly college) for sports.
