Simple question - have you ever used VASL
Do you also hastily burn the plans when the SASL hordes are about to overrun your postion?I've also used VASL to printout the map and then draw battle plans on them when I'm playing my SASL games.
Only if I pass the mandatory MBTC (map burning task check), with appropriate EC modifiers of course.Do you also hastily burn the plans when the SASL hordes are about to overrun your postion?

Nothing against VASL, think it's the future of board gaming, however. There is a tactile aspect to ftf that a computer screen can't mimic. Holding those dice in your sweaty palms transferring your mojo into them, knocking over that seven counter stack cause maybe you didn't really need that last cup of coffee. Or watching your opponent tear board 5 in half. That can't be matched with a computer. Ftf will be around for a while. We are too social of an animal to give it up, probably genetically predisposed for ftf interaction.I pretty much play all my games on VASL. Can’t imagine another way to go!
That’s funny. What you listed are precisely why I stick with VASL and no longer deal with physical. I haven’t been punching any counters (nor deal with clipping, sorting or resorting) since Hakka Paalle.Nothing against VASL, think it's the future of board gaming, however.

I hear you, but other side of the same coin you quoted : the advantages of VASL can’t be matched by the physical.
ie that ‘social’ bit is a hoax. VASL play online is every bit as social as FtF, without the smell (Or need of trousers).
