Armada deserves it, with the pandemic more than ever.

Thank you so much! This is great! 👍 I'll have a good look at this version.

Bug in 4.0.0: All upgrade cards unexhaust at round refresh. This should not happen for non-recurring cards, and cards like Swivel-Mounted Turbos. 4.1.0 has a fix for this.

I'm going to have to make some updated vassal tutorial videos!

Roadmap: 4.1.0 will be released on December 6th, containing a few bug fixes, convenience tweaks, and all the updated cards.

Something over in the godawful "vassal vs tts for armada" thread made me think about scrolling and zooming.

Maybe not all players are aware of this:

• You can enable Arrow Key scrolling under Preferences.
  • Scrolling only works when you haven't selected a game piece!
• CTRL + Mouse wheel to zoom in and out.

Module version 4.1.0 "Continue the Clone Wars do" is available!

Special thanks: @Giraffasaur for tracking down obscure bugs and inconsistencies @Ardaedhel for updating Shrimpbot to handle Clone Wars lists

Compatibility: Compatible only with module version 4.0.0+

OVERVIEW
Built with Vassal 3.4.11 - the next build will likely move to the upcoming Vassal 3.5.0 (some exiting new features and possibilities there).
Adds final CW cards and updated cards from Card Pack.

CRITICAL BUGFIXES
Non-recurring cards no longer refresh automatically.

OTHER BUGFIXES
Haor-Chall Prototypes squad looks like proper Vultures (instead of Hyenas).
Battle Droid Reserves available in quick-spawn menu.
RitR/CC now have the same, updated base defense objectives.
Imp base/presence stickers were swapped (note that Imp base from CC actually is Imp presence from Ritr - we're using RitR definitions).
Focus token is now blue.
Some typos fixed.

MAJOR NEW FEATURES
Better quality images for remaining CW cards (Hardcell ship cards and titles, Rune Haako).
All updated cards from Card Pack added.

OTHER NEW FEATURES
Command tokens on table at start.
Copying/deleting free-standing command tokens will generate a report.
Basic reporting added to free-standing defense tokens (you shouldn't need them, but if you do this is handy).

TO-DO
There are still low-quality scans in the module: upgrades, objectives, etc. These will eventually be replaced.
Add some functionality to cards that start with command tokens/dials on them.
Explore new features added in Vassal 3.4 and 3.5.

I've made a new tutorial series that better reflects the game as of module version 4.2.0

When the forum shuts down, this will be the home of info about Vassal Armada: https://armadaihaveyounow.blogspot.com/p/vassal-armada.html

I will make sure I ping other relevant community nodes, like Discord, Facebook, Reddit, BGG, etc. But the above page is the lord and master of all things Vassal.

I wrote a bunch of stuff, a mix of 1.5 articles, list-building, and theory-crafting.

Wasnt there a time when your blog offered a commenting function?

It still should. I'll check.

Commenting was ENABLED, but for some reason the COMMENT FIELD was HIDDEN.

Makes no sense whatsoever... but fixed now.
