How was it? How often do you play?
I have played with both. VASSAL is the better experience simply for the scanned maps. I usually start one game after I finish one. The game is well suited for PBEM play also. This is the one series that I have a local opponent besides ASL.Don Maddox said:How was it? How often do you play?
MMP offers seven different games as part of the GCACW for the cyberboard system. The link page allows you to download version 3.0 of cyberboard which is a big impovement in graphics over 2.0. You can download the basic games manual over a web-grognards so I assume everything is okay as far as copyright rules. I have never played any of the games. I am still trying to figure out the rules. Will probably attempt some solitare games first. Might be up to try a game with a real opponent.Blackcloud6 said:How do you guys handle the cavalry retreat rule? In Vassal I could see it being done by running the opponents log file while running your own and you send the turn back at the point of the retreat. We do this in VASL for ASL. It may take a few mailings for a turn but would work.
It would be nice to see a laddder and board gfor this series. It has been a while since I played any of them but they're great operational level games.
