Hi all,
ORIGINAL: Dixie
ORIGINAL: Terminus

No computer versions other than Vassal and Cyberboard modules. They're solitaire games anyway...

Aye, what T said.

The Vassal and Cyberboard modules need the original game to play them but they make things a LOT easier. No need to sort through hundreds of little pieces of card for a start [:D] It also stops various weapons of mass destruction from running amok across the world.

Thanks for info guys!

Hey Dixie, I decided against Silent War and have gone with Steel Wolves instead. U-Boote vorwärts!

Traitor! [:D] Although I have to admit that the Battle of the Atlantic usually interests me far more than the Pacific submarine war.

I thought about getting Steel Wolves as well, right up until I saw the price! [:D] Instead I got the IJN expansion for Silent War, lots of extra counter and stuff with every IJN warship and a decent chunk of their auxiliaries as well.


Is there a Vassal module out for Steel Wolves one yet? Let us know how you get on with it.

Did you download the vassal expansion for IJN from the Vassal site??

I hope you like it. [:D]


Cheers,
Reg.

I just noticed that one of the maintainers listed on the vassal site is a certain Reg. Fishing for compliments? [:D]

I haven't heard a single word of review so I was wondering how it was received and whether they found any problems..... (It's a very simple module but I know all it's warts). I would have killed to use better artwork but no such luck.

There were some comments on comsimworld that they wanted a module but no actual feedback. [8|]

Righto, I've only been using it for a few days so far. It seems to work as it should, pretty much exactly how it'd work with the actual board game just without loads of counters to put away. There's nothing so far I'd say was a major problem, the only minor thing is that there wasn't a campaign included with it so I had to spend two minutes of my time setting it up [;)] Cheers for taking the time to make it [:)]

Shame your module couldn't make the game easier, I might not make my Feb tonnage target [:(]

You're Welcome. [:)] The omission was deliberate at the designers request (see T's post above). [;)]

I'm glad you like it. My main concerns were if all the IJN counters were visible and whether they jumped to the correct locations when menu or keyboard shortcuts are selected.

Actually we are fortunate that there is a Vassal module for IJN at all and I think you find the designers statement on the consimworld forums post #5884 quite interesting.

Sorry but there's not much I can do about that I'm afraid.... [:'(]
