Ok, I admit it. When it comes to VASSAL, I'm a pushy-pusher. If I'm reading a wargaming/gaming forum (this or others) and I see the usual thread "recommend a game for me" or "what PC game is most like the old boardgames?" I can't help but throwing in my $.02 by suggesting that they look into using VASSAL to play what it is that they really want to play (boardgames). It never fails that the first reply is "I don't have room to set up a boardgame" or "I don't have anyone to play a boardgame with". I then will follow-up explaining that they don't need to set up the boardgame version and that they can possibly meet others to play with online, etc, etc.
And sadly, it usually ends there. Someone else comes along and suggests some RTS or FPS and then off they go.
So, do you push VASSAL when you the opportunity presents itself and if so, what has your success rate been like? Hopefully better than mine - maybe I should get a little more pushier eh?
