online play of heroscape
Being a long time bookcase game player and having few individuals available for face to face play I stumbled across an online tool for playing an old hex based game Advanced Squad Leader through a program called VASL or Virtual Advanced Squad Leader. I am no computer programer just a game geek and was wondering if there was anyone who might know something about possible conversion of this type program to Heroscape.. I think it would open a great deal of oppurtunity for more gaming for those of us with small player bases. Just a though.. link is here for anyone interested... http://www.vasl.org/

It's just a Vassal engine game, as far as I can tell. There has already been a Vassal module made to emulate Heroscape, although I'm not sure if it is finished or if it is even being worked on anymore...

I played a few games of 'virtual valhalla' on the vassal engine about a year ago and it was plenty serviceable, just hard to get someone to play with (this had as much to do with my schedule as others' :) ), but you could try to drum up more interest in the forums...

Fantastic.. I was right there and didnt see the other game info.. tunnel vision I suppose. I have a friend about 20 minutes away who I use voice with and will let you know how it plays out. Maybe if it proves functional enough we can set a league or tournament or something. Thanks for the input guys.

Band width
Is band width important on this? Will it be servicable on dial up you think?

I used to play DnD Minis on Vassal, and it worked very well. Tournaments are fun, but suffer the inevitable "I got bored and left" syndromes.
Based on the Vassal I know, dial-up is fine - it's mostly just moving pictures that are stored locally on your machine. |
I am very interested in this and would definitely like to join in on what sounds like great fun.
