Star Wars: Armada - Vassal module version 4.2.0

By Green Knight, in Star Wars: Armada

To use the CC map:

- first create a new game

- now you can see the map under the Campaigns tab

- I haven't made the stickers yet, but you can use other tokens to test the functionality if you'd like

- there is also a holding area for each fleet

- fleets can be moved between the main map and the holding areas

- use the "Delayed" function under notes to write down the presence of rebel bases/outpost, then reveal as appropriate

I haven't figured out all the details yet, but I guess that each Grand Admiral could be in charge of saving a copy of the campaign once a play session is over, then store it in an easily accessible location, like dropbox/disk etc.

...sorry about the scan quality of the map, but I only have a small document scanner at home.

I'll try to get a better scan once Christmas is over.

To use the CC map:

About that.....

All I see is a blue box with the title "Correllian Campaign" at the top.

Galatic Civil War works fine, but alas the Correllian version appears completely blank. No tabs or anything!

Odd.

I'll have a look.

Very odd indeed.

I've checked and it looks OK at my end.

Are you sure you're on 3.5.0?

Same issue for me. Perhaps an issue with scale or position? There are no scroll bars, so if its "offscreen" there would be no way of knowing.

Try version 3.5.1 instead:

When you start a new game, the first thing you should see when you hit the Campaigns tab is the CC map. It's fairly large and scroll bars should appear.

Still don't understand what the problem is, but I've gone jpg this time. Maybe it helps.

Bonus content:

- a nicer map scan

- stickers

- scarred/veteran tokens

Note to self:

- Neb titles missing from QS

- need a 9x3 map for final battle w/6 players

- section for dead uniques

It's working for me now. Thanks!

Feature request: Blockade Run/Hyperlane Raid setup template. :)

Relatedly: Vassal version 3.2.17 was released Dec 31st. I supposedly fixes the LoS tool bug. Haven't tested it yet, but if it's true it's good news.

Resolved:

- need a 9x3 map for final battle w/6 players added to AltSizeMapPack 200
- Neb titles missing from QS fix 352
- green squad HP fix 352
To do (general):
- Blockade Run setup template fix 353
- Corona visual aid Will not be implemented
- check dust field sizes (they look pretty good ATM, but aren't 100% correct size)
- check/adjust Pelta & Arquitens fire arcs (the current versions are guesstimate based)
To do (CC):
- add spynet/diplomat/spacers tokens fix 353
- add charts for planet effects and quick reference fix 353
- section for dead uniques fix 353
- better sticker graphics fix 353

Actually I think I'll just forgo the Corona visual aid. It's better to just place the Objective card on the short edge that has the Corona.

Added to 352 :)

GK, I know it seems like a matter of course, but thanks to you and anyone else working on this module.

GK, one of these years I will come find you and buy you an Akvavit and we will drink to your accomplishments! You have contributed more to this community than any 5 men (or women, I don't want to be sexist...) and I for one am super grateful. Thank you.

(Just in case I come to find that I cannot drink Akvavit for some reason, I will have a special bottle of Bourbon in my clutches as well! :D )

Thanks!

Aquavit is a horrible substance, fit only for drinking with certain fatty meats during the Christmas revelry. If you try to drink it like you would do whisky... good luck with that and see you in Valhalla! :D

We had two at the Marietta regional. Awesome competitors.

And I since I don't like Gin (which folks compare Akvavit to) I'll have to stick to Bourbon. I could be persuaded to offer up a good Macallin or Dalmore instead. Those visit my table during philosophical debates on occasion....

Aquavit is nothing like gin...gin is colorless and generally low on taste, whereas real aquavit is heavily spiced: caraway (that's the stuff you see in sauerkraut), cumin, anise and fennel are the most common, but there are some brand variation. Also there are some milder variants available, catering to the tastes of normal people who want to keep with tradition, but can't stand the stuff.

Me, I went on a binge with a stolen bottle of aquavit at the tender age of 17 or so...it was not pleasant. I still have trouble downing the stuff. We eyeball each other for a while, then we wrestle a bit, before I down it with no amount of grace or pleasure.

Updated to v3.5.3

http://www.vassalengine.org/wiki/Module:Star_Wars:_Armada

Note that I've made a new version (2.0.0) of the Alternate Map Sizes extension: it now contains 2 9x3 maps for the final CC assault.

(I want feedback from the first players to try this map and a 3000 pt battle - it will push vassal to the limit in terms of performance!)

Changes:

  • Various minor updates, tweaks and fixes
  • Added Skilled Spacers, Diplomats and Spynet tokens for CC
  • Setup options for Hyperlane Raid/Blockade Run
  • Added Quick reference/Planet effect list for CC
  • "Graveyards" for uniques added for CC

Future updates:

Version 3.5.3 should be all you need to play the full CC experience. I'll release and update once I've gotten some hands on experience and discover stuff that needs tweaking. Feedback appreciated.

Is that the wrong link? It's not opening and is only 7MB
