As many of you know I'm working on this for my own satisfaction and thought it might be a good idea to set out how it's being done and how I'm getting on. The first eRB I got hold of was an HTML copy if the first edition rules. Well presented and clear. The second edition rules I got hold of were in a JavaScript format that I knew nothing about. Since ths set had chapters a-O already, it was this I decided to expand upon. Enforce attempting this, the one piece of equipment you need is a decent scanner. Luckily this is not expensive and every printer ...
"Sound out the trumpet noise, the cannons bark and jump for joy Someone's dread and darlin' boy has fallen on his saber" - Hey Ho, by Tracy Grammer Nothing says summer like a carriage ride down a wooded path...with an artillery piece in tow. Maybe that is why I like the ACW so much: so many of the battles took place in some wonderfully bucolic venues. Anyhoo... So here goes another Scourge of War AAR. This time, for a change of pace, I decided to play with the big guns of an ...
Okay I updated my GitHub site with the new DTO maps, a few missing extensions and maps, and a new set of empty folders and all the current maps in both the "vasl" format (no extension) and as a image file for reference (look under the boards directory for a folder called images). Also, included are all the overlays. So in short these are all the version 5 maps, overlays, and HASL maps as well as all the TPP stuff and extensions. If you follow this link in the center of the screen are two links (ZIP and TGZ) which you can then download to your machine and use for VASL. ...
I got tired of using 2-3 different web sites to download all the VASL maps and extensions. I am really into Version Control and I just love GitHub, it's totally awesome, makes CSV/SVN feel like the difference between say MS Word and Notpad. So I created a GitHub repo for all the maps and extensions. For ease of use I also created a nice GitHub Page and you can download it as a zip or tgz file (contains all the files up-to-date). You can find the link here: http://dlazov.github.io/vasl-boards-extensions/ I hope this helps those out using VASL to play ...
Still having fun with NorbSoft's Scourge of War: Gettysburg. I participated in one pre-made scenario and two sandbox scenarios, and each time I had quite the fun time! Here's some screenies of my last sandbox fight, what I like to call The Battle of Ol' McDonald's Farm. This fight took place on a fictional map ('Alpine') - hence, the name. Other details: it was a division vs division fight, with me taking the command of Edmund L.Dana's Second Brigade for the Federals. Here's what happened.... [NOTICE: because the sprite-based ...
