14 DAY TRIAL // My favorite game to play this week is a real-world one and challenges me to find a way to combine the interests of eight people with the attractions of one island within the time frame of eight days in order to create one perfect vacation.
I am leaving for Malta with my friends in a few days and we have a bit more planning to do, an activity that often resembles the mechanics of a classic tycoon video game.
I like to explore a place even before I get there in person, and we have a fairly clear idea about what we plan to do when we actually arrive on the island.
Once the planning is done, I intend to spend a little more time with Vietnam '65, where I am still unable to win a campaign on the Veteran difficulty level.
The biggest problem is that my choppers are unable to supply all my forces without being shot out of the sky by the Vietcong forces.
At the same time, I cannot get enough troops to engage all enemy groups, and my Hearts and Minds value keeps constantly dropping despite my attempts to find and take out the enemies that I can spot.
