Hmmm...I've been poking around just a little bit with Cyberboard recently. Do you have any experience using it or VASSAL? If you know what your doing with one of those tools, I could probably be talked into a PBEM/IM game of 3rd Reich.

Oooh, now you're talking, I could be talked into this.

Have a look here:

That's not a healthy relationship, do you need counselling?

Jack's really into planes. he plays MS Flight Simulator X non-stop. He talks about joining the RAF - oh, the shame of it.

He's got a while yet though, things might change. Although it's pretty much the only thing I wanted to do since I was old enough to think about it. Probably comes from growing up in the flatlands.

You get to play with expensive toys, see the (sandy parts of) the world, learn a trade (unless you're a shiny) and you get free shoes!

My son and I war-gamed for years, from when he was about eight or nine years old. He went before an Officer selection board when he was eighteen. He is now twenty-one, and has been in the Army for three years. He on his second tour overseas, and loves his Job. But the only problem is that I have lost my live-in gaming opponent.

I've poked about there a bit, Simon. Grabbed the 3R set and a couple of others, but haven't yet spent the time to figure the mechanics of getting it all to work, and what the process is to use it for PBEM, etc.

yep

It was on in the break room here, and I saw a woman with a hat that was almost 3 feet wide and standing almost straight up from the side of her head. One stiff breeze, and BAM!

Now I just have to talk USS into playing twice a month and we could get on with it.


Hmmm...I've been poking around just a little bit with Cyberboard recently. Do you have any experience using it or VASSAL? If you know what your doing with one of those tools, I could probably be talked into a PBEM/IM game of 3rd Reich. At least I would only have to relearn that one, instead of completely learning EiA from scratch. [:)] I have the 3rd edition of 3R rules in a box with most of the counters, up in the attic.

I have Aide de Camp, but haven't used either of the others. They all work pretty similarly.
