Anybody available for some Lock n load VASSAL. Email or live is ok. Available most weekends and evenings. Flexible, patient.
Sounds good. The only games I currently have of the LnL system are Heroes of Normandy, the Nam, the Pacific. Heroes of the Motherland is on its way (just ordered it). I will be purchasing other volumes as they are released.Hello wokman2b,
I would be interested in the occasional live-play game on VASSAL. I am free on weekends for the most part, too, but may also be able to swing a weeknight now and then. What time zone are you? That could impact choice of time and day significantly. I am CST, or GMT-6. I am fairly familiar with the system, but by no means an expert. I use reference sheets and the rulebook regularly during play, yet still manage to get things wrong sometimes, but I am trying to improve.
I prefer the more modern era games in this system, post-Vietnam. Heroes of the Gap is my favorite, along with its expansions. Having said that, any LnL Tactical game is fun to play, so count me in. I have gotten to play a little bit of the new Heroes of Normandy game recently and like it quite well.
Let me know if you want to proceed and we'll arrange a time for a game.
I have never used Team speak, but I am set up for Skype. Barring the unforeseen, I can be ready for a game Saturday evening after 6 pm PST.It looks like I should have time to play this weekend, both Saturday and Sunday. If you are up for a game, let me know what time is good for you. I am setup to use TeamSpeak or Skype for chatting, do you use either of those?

Hello,Wokman2b,
I will be available for another game this weekend, if you are free and have the time. One suggestion for a battle is River of Blood from Heroes of the Blitzkrieg, which is another river crossing. However, the Germans are attacking this time and have rubber boats to make a river assault. This scenario also includes 1-2 ordinance weapons and a couple of vehicles. The SSRs for this one are minimal and it uses only a single map, #22. Take a look at this scenario when you have time and let me know if you want to give this one a try. I have a custom VASSAL module for this which I will get to you, whether we play this scenario or not. It's nice to have the module to go with the physical game.
The alternative choice might be the battle of Carentan from Heroes of Normandy. This one is pretty much an infantry-only battle between German and American airborne units. Germans defend against American attack, another tough battle for the 101st as they try to clear the town and consolidate the D-Day beachheads. I will have to rely on you to provide the details for this one.
Give it some thought and let me know if either of these appeals to you. I am also open to any scenario you may wish to try, just say the word!
Hey guys, just a note that the module has been updated again. v1.4.
Have fun.
