Hi all,
ORIGINAL: USS America

Spent the morning at the car dealer, getting scheduled maintenance done.  Their internet access blocked the forums due to "games" in the URL.  [:D]

I was therefore forced to get in some quality work on my 2x2 AE game.  [8D]

Porsche dealer with limited Internet access? [&:][:D]

Only limited to "games"  [:D]

I guess they don't want all us gamers hogging up the bandwith from customers needing it for business use. 

I didn't mind.  I played AE, drank 3 cups of free coffee, ate one free pastry, and didn't have to pay a penny for all the service they did.  [8D]

Good morning.  My little boy turned 1 year old yesterday.  Mom and Dad had a wonderful day at the zoo with him!!

Quality age - but then aren't they all - every year brings new things, walking, talking, their own little personality's developing, supporting Tottenham Hotspur, playing wargames with daddy? - fantastic!! Hope your boy enjoyed the day!

....and speaking of which, we've just come back from Secondary School Open Day Tithe. It seems like only yesterday my eldest was getting ready for her first day at nursery - and now she's going to big school in September [X(] - just where does the time go?

Damn, Steel Wolves is labour-intensive, even on Vassal. I shudder to think how long it would take if I had to lay out the map and punch all the counters first...[X(][X(][X(][X(]

I do remember but I thought that Vassal was just a helper and that you need to have all stuff (maps and counters) just as originally intended / designed...

Typically, VASSAL and other online tools keep track of the map and all the counters.  You still need to have any documentation like rules, scenario info, etc.

Good thing Steel Wolves is a solitaire game. I just finished the first week, sinking 66,000 tons of shipping.

You have to have the game, yes, but the map and all the counters and markers are represented on screen, and you move them around there. Same with dice rolling.

Lucky man. My copy of British Pacific Fleet arrived yesterday.

First impressions Sprior?

Looks good so far, not too much pre-amble before getting stuck into the subject.
