Vassal Game Finder

Sure thing.  Let me know if you get to the point of where you make a ZT gamebox and need to use it.  I'll upload any counter scans that you have so that you can use it.

^Wish I didn't punch the counters to Conflict of Heroes now as I could have taken images of them to use.  On the other hand I would not have had fun this past weekend playing the game.  This is what must be a catch 22 for board wargamers.  Oogle the counters while they are still in their sheets or push them around a map board and roll dice.  Decisions decisions!!

I *try* and scan all of the contents of my games before I punch in play - just so that I have electronic copies of the materials (and in the event taht I want to make a gamebox for it).

That's because you are a Grog and board wargame vet Gary, we are able to control this urge to punch & play immediately ;)

Did I understand this correctly W8taminute, you didn't play wargames/consims much in the past (or at all) and are new to the 'traditional' way of wargaming?

[GJK]

"Real" wargaming.  :)

Did I understand this correctly W8taminute, you didn't play wargames/consims much in the past (or at all) and are new to the 'traditional' way of wargaming?

On the contrary.  When I was younger, much younger, I used to play a lot of traditional wargames/consims.   It all started for me at age 14.  I bought PanzerBlitz, my very first wargame.  By the time I was 18 or 19 I had at least 15 wargames in my library.  I also used to play a lot of the beer and pretzel games like Axis and Allies, Risk, etc.   I stopped playing these games when I started going to university.  From 1989 to today I have been largely a video gamer.  PCs and consoles were my way of life and still are.

Today however I am slowly beginning to develop an interest in board wargaming again!  Partly to relive my happy childhood and partly because my brain is melted from so many video games!

I tried to use a polite and 'taking' way to express it, we are still on a PC wargame site...so all missionary efforts must be made cautiously ;)

Ah ok, then it's the usual thing...it's a virus one can't get rid of...one can try to ignore it or suppress it for a while, but most folks who ever started pushing counters on a hex map and stopped for whatever reason will come back sooner or later :)

[W8taminute]

Yes!  My virus was dormant for many years and is now awakening to take my soul once more.   ;D

You're right though, pushing counters on a hex map is quite different from ordering your pixelated units to move on pc monitor or pulling the trigger on an console fps.

Oh hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllll no.  Any site with me as a co-owner is not just a PC wargame site! ;D

[Grimnirsson]

You must be LOUDER then Bayonetbrant  :P

[GJK]

I wouldn't be here if this were a PC gaming only site.  That said, I think that the table top gaming section should be above the PC gaming section.   ;) :-X

Is there a place where you can find people that want to play a particular game on Vassal?

I thought that was what this thread was about.

Good Hunting.
