No worries. I'm getting the game set-up now. I'll send a save file out with initial set-up this afternoon.

Ok folks, y'all should have been spammed by ACTS today. We'll use that for cards and dice. And, of course, general spamming of one another...

Hey Dog. Can you send me a link for the 2.0 module. I thought I could get it off the VASSAL site but its a no go. Also TOS is still down. Thanks.

No problem. I'll send a link to all y'all for D/L...

Thanks a ton. I'm setting it up ASAP.

Cool. Got your logfile. Hugh can combine set-up and first move and we'll be underway! Good luck to all...of you who aren't me. May the rest of you pretenders to the throne suffer miserable painful deaths by lead poisoning...

Hugh: I emailed you the links for D/L the proper VASSAL beta. However, if you didn't get it, the info is here:

Don't know which system you're running, so you can find the links to the various 3.1b8 editions here:

Lead poisoning? Personally, I plan on it being by cold bronze poisoning, but maybe that's just me. Or perhaps I haven't looked through the Tyche deck enough.

Having now read all the rules, I'm really stoked about this game. Looks like it might be what I've been searching for - a historical, multi-player CDG with a managable rules length and play time.

Matt--I'd say it's exactly what you're looking for--and, as far as I can figure, it's all the things that, say, Wellington or The Napoleonic Wars, are not. My current game has been amazing enough that I'd consider having a game of this going on VASSAL at all times.

I'm going to likely bring this one up to Trashfest in May and try to beat KingPut and some others into playing in person.


Will--did you see my post about the HQ parts I'm looking for? I need the dice and the Gargoyle's head from your incomplete base game if you can spare 'em to complete my house copy [which I parted out to ebay 2 other sets]. Let me know a price with shipping if you're willing to part with 'em...

Now PM me your paypal address (I never like to assume it's the same email address when cash is involved) and we're good to go.


By the way, has anyone heard from Hugh since Tuesday's request for tech support? I'd hate to think he got swallowed-up by Real Life before we even kicked off.

Not I. If this is his first exposure to VASSAL he may be feeling a bit overwhelmed. Hopefully he will post here and ask for help if he needs it. Personally VASSAL is just different enough from Cyberboard to get me into trouble. So I'm apologizing ahead of time if I do anything stupid.

And my problem goes the other way...cyberboard and I are not on particularly friendly terms.

And this reminds me that I need to edit the VP on ACTS to ensure it matches the board...doh...

This game is awesome.
