    Just had a blast at Mount & Blade, haven't played since just after 1.0 came out. I had forgotten how much fun planting an arrow in someones head from a galloping horse was.

    Just got Hearts of Iron II, one of the best video games I've ever played. Having a blast, and conquered the world as Germany and France. Ridiculously amazing game, though the AI could be a bit better. Also, the 1944 scenario is impossible as Germany.
    Completed campaigns:
    Vanilla Carthage
    BI Sassanids
    EB 1.1 Casse

    You might want to try out some of the mods. Most improve the AI and make battles longer and more difficult.

    The 1944 scenario isn't impossible, it is pretty damn difficult though. There's a good AAR over at the Paradox forums on it.

    Taking a break from War Between the States (still figuring that one out, really) to play Birth of the Federation again. The latest version of the Balance of Power mod has just been released; am greatly enjoying the new ships and the (much) larger maps so far.

    I'm going to buy the newly released Pro Cycling Manager 2009 tonight. I'll let you know how that goes.

    You organise when your riders attack into breakaways, when your team helps with pursuit, you organise sprinting. Essentially anything that is tactical within a cycling race. Added to this is the managerial aspect of the game that many people would be familiar with from Soccer/Basketball manager games.
