Interesting. In an Uber geek way.

He was awkward, irritating and pedantic as an opponent. I didn't particularly like the guy, but I didn't dislike him. He ruffled a lot of feathers when he first joined our Friday night group, but mellowed a little over time. I believe a lot of his 'irritating' mannerisms were a direct...

I can see your confusion (and mine) you'd have to remember which vehicles bounding fired if you left the bounding fire counter in place. Not so difficult in a small scenario. Fying Turrets at night may be a different story o_O

NRBH and my night rule knowledge is rusty...but I think you'd you place a gunflash counter in the hex the AFV bounding fired from. The bounding fire counter stays with the AFV as it would in a daytime scenario as reminder that the AFV has fired. The AFV could only be fired on if it fires again...

found an error, I think? The American M7 HMC has the vehicle notes listed as #20 on the template counter it should be #44. That also means that the notes won't show up unless saved in png #20 in the US vehicle folder... Cheers Paul

No longer a CH fan (10 years and counting), but the Berlin Module is one that I do like. No idea idea if the monster scenario is balanced or not but the smaller ones are great fun to play.

Ok, the program is looking for the Google Chrome web driver. You'll need to install Google Chrome if you don't already have it installed. I have MS Edge on my PC and installing Google Chrome web browser alongside is fine. Download the correct Chrome driver from the link below and save the file...

Ha! No it didn't. I eventually did find the culprit though. If your VASSAL graphics start doing weird things check preferences and tick this box.... sorted...

I suspect that the problem I described in my previous post is related to my recent upgrade to win 11. A fresh install of templates seems have cured it. I also rolled back VASSAL to version 3.7.5 as that was the last supported version of VASSAL within the program.

VASL Templates definitely doesn't like the latest VASSAL version 7.7.8. The data will load into your saved VASL file, but the entire VASL window suffers from a graphical corruption. when you start clicking on drop down menus and windows. Turn off templates and the problems disappear. Ok, I know...

I can identify with that last statement Jim….. just blasting the cobwebs out after taking an extended sabbatical to play “Other stuff” over the last 4 months. Hopefully I’ll be able to remember what and 8 on the 8 is before the Heroes Tourney in 4 weeks time…..

I just heard about Joe's passing a few hour ago. He was a stalwart member of our Friday night club, very knowledgeable on the rules and had an easy going pleasant demeanor when playing. The first time I spoke to him was during my first Friday Night game. We played Red Horse Recon. I knew within...

One for the VASSAL experts. How do I set up/create a 'piece linker' feature similar to the one we have in VASL. I'm looking at Red Storm from GMT. Linking the acq counters to their respective SAM units would make life a heck of a lot easier. But I've no idea how to go about this. I've...

I picked up the 2 books by Vesa Nenye , Finland at war' from Osprey, in anticipation of the module. Still to be read... Cheers Paul

Been busy over the last10 months. OCS, more DAK and the Campaign game from Smolensk, OCS continues to impress. Works well via PBEM where there would otherwise be a lot of downtime for the non moving player. Planning your moves and organising your logistics can, literally, take hours. An utterly...

solved it. My original post was a bit garbled. The problem was that the player window was always on top so when saving, unless the player window was small enough the save game window sat behind the player window and you couldn't do anything with the main window as long as the save window...

anyone having problems saving gamefiles? It only seems to be happening in VASL, so probably not a VASSAL issue. Map window freezes after I try to save and the only way I can close it down is via task manager. Thougt it might be VASL templates causing an issue but its the same whether VT is...

BigAl737 he helped me a lot when I was messing around with maps for RO. Cheers paul

TBH I’ve been using non-permanent adhesive on the back of my overlays for decades. Works extremely well. Pritt used to make non permanent glue sticks years ago but no longer do so. I now use a roller thingie that serves the same purpose.
