The endless fun of being a #boardgame player / collector / hoarder / teacher / play tester / #VassalEngine & #TabletopSimulator module creator etc.

An incoming shipment and I didn't get a shipment notice email to allow me to positively identify what the shipment contains.

It's coming from Poland so I am guessing Phalanx. Is it Purple Haze? I don't think so. It is possibly the new version of Unhappy King Charles but that is just a guess. It could be something else!

A job aint over till the paperwork is done.

Is the need to write a guide on how to use a Vassal module the result of more complicated #boardgames or more complicated #VassalEngine modules?

Why not both!

The errata for 8th Army: Operation Crusader #boardgame published by GDW included instructions for “play by phone”.
Due to the double blind nature of the game there were two identical maps and playaids. Yet only one set of counters. So it was possible yet would have been time consuming and lots of work for the players. Hooray for such tech as #VassalEngine

It's good to see a political and military #boardgame on the Spanish Civil getting some front page focus on #BGG with a Designer Diary by Alex Knight

The game is available for purchase from Blue Panther and there will be a TTS and a #VassalEngine module to play the game online. Cos I am the one who is creating the Vassal module ;-)

Very jealous. Although I’m glad that word is getting out about the upcoming C3i No: 36.
If folks are interested in checking out the Desert Victory game included in the mag there is a Vassal module (on the #VassalEngine site) and the rules pdf is on #bgg
A holy grail for me, as a historical #boardgame player, is playing such a game on my iPad. Some wargames are on BGA but they are few. I know I can use Vassal on a Surface Tablet but the touch interface isn’t that good. I’ve tried, even with a pen. #VassalEngine 4 will come eventually. Hopefully.
Playingcards.io was tried but doesn’t support play area panning and zooming. I looked at some RPG VTTs but they fell short in supporting the type of board game components I needed.
