New Vassal Game?

Too Bo Coo · 06-28-2012, 05:26 PM

Hey All,

Anyone down for a Vassal game this weekend?

Also, I tried playing around with it a bit and I'm lost. Any tips to get started? Good starter guide?

Cheers!

Yes sir !

We can get one easy enough. Last time we had 4 duelist, one of which went into a flat spin with 3 blown tires. Another that lost his nerves (had to leave abruptly). The last 2 duelist were in a dead heat with time being called (2 1/2 hours) at the 14th turn or so.

Let's see if we can round up the troops and a have good fanfare for "Too Bo Coo"'s first appearance.

Note that stock cars will be used with no modifications.
MattV will be in charge of getting things organized.
I'll be the co-host and we'll get things rocking..

Who else would like to enter the Arena ?

1. Too Bo Cool
2. Knightime
3. MattV (virtual guarantee)
4.
5.
6.

I'll edit above as needed. Sunday and Monday are good nights for me to duel.

Note you will need Skype, Vassal, and Car Wars Mod to play.

See you there.. You are now a marked target (well, along with anyone else who dares to enter the "arena" !!!)... It's all in good fun...

Which version of CW do you use?

Knightime · 06-30-2012, 01:33 AM

From my understanding, the last great edition that made sense..

CW 2.5

Although, I don't own a copy of the rules - I'm adjusting quite nicely thus far.

I'll have a chat with Matt and see what we can work out..

I can't make it this weekend. I could do next weekend though.

I strongly suggest buying the Compendium 2.5 either on Ebay or the PDF from SJG website.

The better everyone knows the rules the faster the game goes.

This will give others a chance to prepare for a time slot..

Sunday or Monday?
any preferences?

Also, Too Bo Cool.. We can do a dry run so that you can get familiar with how Vassal works....

Let me know..

I'm available all night tonight.. Until 5am EST or so...

Too Bo Coo · 07-02-2012, 06:36 PM

That sounds great, but I wont be available to do it tonight. Would another night this week work?

Knightime · 07-03-2012, 04:12 AM

Wednesday night after 9pm EST...

Let me know..

Too Bo Coo · 07-04-2012, 04:54 AM

That sounds good, I just need to double check what 9pm means here in Amsterdam.

Too Bo Coo · 07-04-2012, 04:45 PM

Ok, 9pm is 3 am my time. I'm not sure if I can wait up that long, it's another 2 hours.... Are you available on a non-school night?
