What's your gaming pleasure this weekend? 5/05/17

I thought I'd beat Asid to it by starting off the post this time. Yes, I know it's still early, but the weekend is almost upon us.

Combat Mission: Barbarossa to Berlin.
(http://www.moodurian.com/tornado/images/cmbb1.jpg)
Modded with mods from GreenAsJade'sCMx1 Mods Warehouse (http://cmx1mods.greenasjade.net). Too bad no Engine 4 upgrade for the CM1 titles. Nevertheless, an oldie but a goldie. The last time I played Combat Mission was in the early 2000s. Back then my desktop PC was too slow.

This time, running on 8Gb of RAM, Windows 10 and an Intel i5 processor, ah...it flies! Getting used to WEGO system. Next week, I'll give CM: Battle for Normandy a try and see if my laptop can handle the load.

Just for fun, I nominate Beef to start off next week's "What's your gaming pleasure this weekend" post. Call it DOW's "What's your gaming pleasure" challenge. (http://www.animateit.net/data/media/smiley712/grouphug.gif)

Some fine wargames there  :thumbsup

Maybe consider joining us for some online Waterloo. We are doing a session this Saturday @ 23:00GMT. It is a casual session/tutorial.

Regards

Roasting a T-34 in Combat Mission II: Barbarossa to Berlin with a flamethrower.

Would that even be possible on real life? I mean... It's just burning gas that's spread out. Though... Could be if hatch was open. Especially on early t34.
