This is probably a sign of my stupidity, but I can’t figure out how to do recruiting with the Vassal Hellenes Mod. Can someone help? ---

right click on the block in block inventory if its not on the board and select the “recruit to nnnn” command? * * * From: pfglenn [pfglenn@gmail.com](mailto:pfglenn@gmail.com) To: [messages@vassalengine.org](mailto:messages@vassalengine.org) Sent: Wed, December 1, 2010 9:12:27 AM Subject: [messages] [Module Support] Hellenes Module–Recruiting This is probably a sign of my stupidity, but I can’t figure out how to do recruiting with the Vassal Hellenes Mod.

A couple of problems with that. First, I thought the units in the “Out of Play” box were the units that weren’t in that scenario, so they can’t be recruited. Also, in the game you need to draw 3 blocks at random, then pick one to recruit. Choosing “Recruit to XXX” doesn’t allow for that. Unless I’m missing something. ---

If you look on the far right of the Map, when starting a new game you will see a blue rectangle at the top and red rectangle at the bottom. This is where the blocks are stored (in a deck) which is random draw. You have to add the blocks to the deck location manually In a pre defined setup like 415BC these decks are prepopulated already. Presumably (I know nothing of the game) this is where you “recruit” your pieces from by drawing them from these decks as needed. Once drawn you then use the “recruit to nnnn” command on the piece to quickly place it if necessary at the right location * * * From: pfglenn [pfglenn@gmail.com](mailto:pfglenn@gmail.com) To: [messages@vassalengine.org](mailto:messages@vassalengine.org) Sent: Fri, December 3, 2010 4:10:59 AM Subject: [messages] [Module Support] Re: Hellenes Module–Recruiting A couple of problems with that.
