Dear friends,
From a couple of days ago, i can’t play Twilight Struggle module 3.03a
When i synchro with a game, it treats me like an observer: i can’t see any hands.
I haven’t changed the user nor the password, nor my fellows. They have the same problem with me. In one try, we both players had control of the Americans!! In another one, i could see the hand… but with 16 cards!
I have tried to reinstall vassal, the module, java… I am getting crazy,
Please HELP!
Windows XP
JAVA 6 update 21
Vassal 3.1.14
Module: Twilight Struggle 3.03a

pon el idioma en inglés, tanto del módulo como del vassal.

Anda… pues puede ser la solución. Se me solucionó y no sabía por qué… y ahora que caigo, en una de las pruebas, cambié a inglés, para poder entender mejor las instrucciones de Mike…
Muchas gracias!!
