I have downloaded the latest version of VASSAL today and have attempted to download and play modules. The modules, all with the suffix vmod, download to the computer okay but when I try to import them into the game, I get the following message The version I am using 3.2.16 “Invalid Import File. … This file [file name] cannot be imported into VASSAL” JRE version build 1.8.0\_112-b15 Windows 10 Home is my operating system What am I doing wrong please? ---

Import is for converting modules from other formats. Open VASSAL modules with “Open Module”. – J.
