Quick heads-up to Vassal players:

I'm halting development of the module. Could be I resume work at a later date, but I can't guarantee it. Depends on how involved I'll be in Armada in the future I guess.

Unfortunately that means there will be no Armada 4.0.0. I've spent quite a few hours working on it, but it's not in a releasable state.

On the other hand 3.8.2 is a stable platform, with only a few known bugs and omissions.

I'm sure you will also figure out how to add new cards and such. It's not difficult. Some of the other stuff (like adding new ships) is more involved, but it's not impossible to figure out. You'll manage.

Good luck!

That are more horrific news to me than any postponement of waves ever could be!

But nevertheless thank you very much for all you have done. Without your effort Armada would have been for me merely a small part of my gaming activity. The Vassal module changed this totally. It was for me the most important community contribution by far... by extremely far! FFG would have been well advised by doing this work themselves. It made me buying a lot more of plastic than otherwise (allthough I did not need it for VASSAL).

Thanks again for your work, Sir!

That is true for me as well . Without Vassal I probably would have bought only the core and something of wave 1 and 2. Thanks to Vassal I've kept the interest alive - and filled several shelves with plastic

I'm sorry to hear you're halting development, though I completely get it. I hope someone takes up the banner. I would, but I've got enough on my plate.

I'm very sorry to hear that. Hopefully we won't lose you here on the forums, and that someone will take up that mantle. Best of luck to you, and thank you for all you've done.

That's a shame but I'm sure there is a good reason behind it. Hope everything is alright, and thank you for all you've done, without Vassal I'd not have managed to play Armada

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I'll add my voice to the shock and dismay of the announcement @Green Knight , but I have been in your shoes once or twice myself and know that the time involved in an undertaking of the magnitude of maintaining and updating a tool like the vassal module cannot be overstated.

Thank you for all you have done, and it is my sincere hope that you stopped early enough that you still have it in you to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor, and that the work hasn't burned you out past that point.

I'm sure I'll play some in the future, but not as actively as I used to.

Spoiler. @Green Knight is actually making Legion for Vassal

And Runewars

With that in mind, we have an ultimatum ladies and gentlemen. We must carry on the work. Is there anyone willing to investigate whether or not they can undertake this task? Given our rate of burnout for these poor/great souls, I would think forming a small working group to be ideal, but first we need volunteers. I have already promised GK that I would take a look. Who else can join me?

Perhaps @JJs Juggernaut is still interested. I'd check with him.

I've been wrestling with this even prior to the announcement, because I'd love to be able to help, but I just can't make any availability commitments with the way my life is right now. I am completely willing to support as able, but I really can't be relied on for any significant contribution.

Do a tutorial on making content. And demonstrate on all the content for wave 7.

I did make some already:

I think if there is a tutorial, the only thing stopping me from future waves is that I likely won't have them physically on time

Yikes, this is unexpected news indeed. I've already signed on to help with the module, so that means I will need to step up and do more in the future. I'll just need to find the time to do so, luckily Christmas break is coming up and should leave me with more time open.

I've already had several projects in mind for Armada vassal, I'll just have to add upkeep as well

Without your efforts greenknight, the armada world would be a smaller one.

Thank you fornyour contributions.

New version released! 3.8.3 includes the 3 new spoiled cards from wave 7.

• Added Chimaera, Intesify Firepower, and Governor Pryce
• Updated graphics pack
• Added all 6 wave 7 cards to the spawner-tokens' menus
• Added Round token spawning from Governor Pryce's card

Since it's not quite on the vassal site yet dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jjypy3w16cikjmr/ArmadaModule_-_3.8.3.vmod?dl=0

Best Armada Christmas gift, since ffg delayed wave 7. Great many thanks to the new devs!

@Green Knight on behalf of admirals with young children all over the world I salute you. Without your work I’d have to find something more useful and less fun to do with my evenings when my other half goes out.

thanks for everything and keep involved, even if you aren’t sustaining the whole of online play

I will still play occasionally, but not as often as before.

I'm VERY happy with handing over the module to the new dev team. It felt a bit weird at first, with all the work I've put into it, but now it feels like I got rid of a burden. I'm sure new heads will do good for the module.
