Playing on Vassal?

By Thom Servo, in X-Wing

Is anyone actually playing on a regular basis there?

When no one's playing in town I've tried to go online and find a game but it seems that every time there are maybe 2-4 people on there and no one's playing. Everyone is just hanging out in the chat room not indicating that they're looking for a game and not even chatting. What's the point in that?!

It is BLAH...

The game is X-WING.

With MINIATURES on a cool table with pretty cards and tokens.

;)

There is a tournament going on right now over at Team Covenant.

Vassal is a little fiddly, but after you get a hang of it, it works very good.

Always nice to be able to play with squads you cannot build or just to get another game in.

Sure, it's more awesome IRL, but if you don't have a lot of people to play with it's an alternative.

Saturday night I was hanging out on Vassal waiting for a game for 2 hours. Everybody seemed more interested in watching the matches for the aforementioned tournament. I was pretty disappointed that I didn't get to play (though I have to admit that the game I watched was pretty interesting).
