I have a thread over in the Vassal forum regarding the fact that I don't use audio/microphone because of an impairment, and up to now I have never played anything in Vassal except X-Wing Miniatures.
I would like to give ASL on Vassal a try (emphasis on try).
What I want to know is how likely I am to find an opponent who will be comfortable with my needs for a first-time game in the medium.
I have a small scenario picked out (A33 "Tettau's Attack") that uses 1 board, and a combined 15 squads (but oddly is 11 turns long) and has only MMG/LMG, with no scenario special rules that will trip me up. I even have it set up and saved in Vassal already. I'm not up on my hotkeys, but I will be before I play.
I need to find a place to find an opponent, but I'd like to play a turn or two (or 90 minutes or so) per evening, as I get accustomed to the new medium. And I'm in the Mountain Time Zone but I can play in various periods because of a varied work schedule (and part-time at that).
Does anyone have any advice about how I should go about soliciting a game with these needs of mine (and where I should try to solicit one?), particularly the non-audio/microphone (and visual - no Skype etc.)? I'm an old-schooler who would always prefer counters in my hand, but I need to practice my ASL and Vassal seems like the only way I can.
Thanks for any advice. (My Vassal solo setup of Tettau's Attack, A33, ASL Annual 91)
