Thanks Jimmy,

Really appreciate the work your doing for Vassal. Its my only way of really gaming so your making my days brighter.


Just with a lot of units the selection area is very large and makes it super clunky when your have a formation of 10+. Any chance of fixing this?

Also, just with blast markers. Could we get one from the old 1.1.15 version Shadowlord done? Just a lot easier when it has a counter on it.

Hrmmm not sure about the selection. Might be the tool. I'll take a look at the docs. It's quirky AF. Maybe cropping the images may help.

Cool idea on the fire icon. Easy enough. I'll have to release the core module in an update. Probably a good reason to finally pull the Orks and Nids out into their own extensions.

OK Norto the requested Dunecrawler unit is added. Defaults to the icarus but can be changed to the neutron cannon thingy (as always CTRL-W to cycle weapons). It's not a big unit so to help distinguish them the icarus version has the turret gunner. FYI

Anyone that has the current version downloaded should re-download the ad mech extension.

The links seem to be in need of an update, and the 1.5.4 one doesn’t even have a non working link.
Is it possible to put them back in working order? During this Epidemic these things will come in handy.

Have good one.

If I wish really hard, can we get a better map editor?

I mean, is there a way to undo the accidental misplacement of a terrain feature? Just like that steering wheel in my lap, it’s driving me nuts.

That's Vassal, not the module. I don't maintain Vassal so can't really help you there.
It's an imperfect tool we're abusing to simulate a TTG. (it's actually designed for board game simulation)

Thanks to semajnollissor we've got a new ready made map. This will be great for those that want a difficult LOS terrain blocking slug-fest!

The selection size thing Norto pointed out is a unit cropping issue- probably an invisible layer when the unit was imported. I fixed up a heap of these ages ago when I was trying to improve the mod- it's a time consuming PITA, good luck.
Thanks for the work!

Wow! A lot of time/effort/love in this project, it is much appreciated in this time of remote gaming.

Any chance someone could write up a brief summary of how to load in a map and pre-make armies? Last time I played vassal was a long time ago and I have essentially forgotten everything about the program.

If someone would be so kind, could I get a PM containing a link to latest Epic Vassal module?

Pretty please.

I'm also looking for a link to the latest (hypothetical) EA Vassal module. Can anyone message me it? Please and thank you!
