DASL VASL Razzle Dazzle

[Tuomo]

IS THIS HOW YOU LIKE YOUR DELUXE ASL MISTER EAST FRONT MAN?

Then have the Map Elves got a treat for YOU

Want more?

In short, the beta versions of the VASL DASL boards are available. Here:
http://home.comcast.net/~tomrepetti/DASLbdsa-h.zip


They are BETA. I tested them with several versions of VASL and they had a minor issue with the latest beta (5.9beta3) on the beta download section of the VASL website. BUT. They seem to work mostly fine with other versions (although I couldn't quite get HedgesToWalls to work right). At any rate, that's what makes them BETA. (If you do use the 5.9b3, don't check the "use Deluxe hexes" box in the Add New Board dialog - these are already embiggened!)

Still. NOW you can play Deluxe VASL the way was MEANT to be played. ON BIG FRIGGIN' HEXES. With LOTS OF PLACES TO STACK PEOPLE. BROKEN GUYS. DEAD GUYS. MALF'D GUNS. ALL THAT JAZZ. WHY AM I SHOUTING. BECAUSE THIS IS SO FRIGGIN' COOL.

The Elves went all-out this time, bringing more of the beauty of the original DASL boards to your computer screen. They offer these boards as a tribute to the original board artist, and hope these boards will be part of a DASL renaissance, brought back to life by Rodney Kinney's awesome VASL Great Clanking Honking Wonking Dingus.

Enjoy.

Sublocations (extra stacking points within a hex) are one of the features of the new VASL, coming out "soon". For now, the only way to get this functionality is in the VASL beta (5.9b3, I believe), available at
http://www.vasl.org/beta

Looks fine!
VASL is improving from day to day!

 

[JimWhite]

That is just sooooo cool......:hail:

 

[Rindis]

Wonderful!!!! This is what I've been wanting to see for a while now. I'm going to have to go arrange for a VASL DASL game now.... (Or maybe when it gets out of beta, either way....)

 

[Tuomo]

I should note that the latest VASL beta allows you to DASL-ize any board, simply by checking the "Deluxe size" (or whatever it's called) checkbox in the "New Board" dialog. Supremely useful for those scenarios (koffPavlovsHousekoff) that have high counter densities. When checked, VASL takes the existing board image, blows it up, and enables sublocations. Not as pretty as doing the artwork from scratch at a larger size, but Pretty Darn Good. Seemingly mandatory for VotG or BrT scenarios.

 

[Jay White]

Oh man, that is sooo nice. Streets of Fire has some of my favorite scenarios in it, but it just wasn't the same playing them on VASL.

No longer!

Yip yip yip!

Thanks again, Map Elves. I'll put out extra milk and cookies for you on ASLmas this year.

 

[Houlie]

Oh my! Extremely cool boards TR!

Whoo, I need cold shower!

 

[Ralph Malf]

Wow. That is beautiful.

OK, I have to ask: why would you want to stack Jazz on a DASL board? I can see burying him under a mountain of DASL boards since he has fallen from grace and became The Man. I guess I could see him using a stack of them as he sleeps on the cold hard ground, homeless and shiftless. -- jim

PS: Nice boards BTW. I wish I was a DASL fan.

 

[MrP]

Does it work with the HASL maps too? huh? Huh?

If it does then I'm blowing up NG for our game of Maggot hill, I can hardly see the trees for the counters.....

... and de-DASL size DASL boards?
