I am all down for learning and playing COIN games or such wargames/political games.  
Boardgames I know/played of so far:

- **[Versailles 1919](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/253506/versailles-1919)** (Learnt and played in Tabletop Simulator)
- **[Twilight Struggle](https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/12333/twilight-struggle)** (Learnt and played in Tabletop Simulator)

I’m looking to connect with people who also share the same passion for these kinds of boardgames.

What level of complexity are you comfortable with / willing to tolerate?

What eras?

Land / Naval / Air / Combined ?

tactical / operational / grand tactical / strategic / grand strategic?

Honestly, for now I am trying to get into COIN series first if it’s possible.

Hex-boards with military units (all units considered) still seem so confusing to me.

For eras, even though I prefer the 20th century the most, I am perfectly fine with other eras if they are similiar to Twilight Struggle in terms of game mechanics. (i.e: I heard Imperial Struggle was inspired from Twilight so that game is one of those I’d like to give it a try)

I hope this all answers to your questions and didn’t skip any of them.

P.S. : I am still new to VASSAL engine and its modules. It doesn’t seem that hard to get around, just couldn’t figure out how to play P2P and private servers with my mates as of now.

If you could take on more I would love to play and learn on of these also.

All bridges burring, or one of the British way.

i do lots of Vassal if that helps.

I could help you get going with VASSAL, especially COIN, One of my all-time favorite series.

BurntOutWreck.  
I I don’t want to intrude into the other group but would like to play the All Bridges burring or the British way. I have both games but have only see some play throughs.  
**[Tio\_Hector](https://forum.vassalengine.org/u/tio_hector) and [akulkis00](https://forum.vassalengine.org/u/akulkis00)** I don’t want to jam my way in. Not my intent but you could see it that way. Versailes and Twilight Struggle don’t hold as much draw for me.

I hope this meets all the needs.

I’d be delighted to play these games you mentioned, especially the British Way.

I have never played nor learnt the rules for any COIN games before. Like I mentioned, I’m still new to VASSAL experience but I’ll be honored if you are still willing to play that way.

I am happy to make any connections with who share the same passion for these games, It’s a lot harder than I thought finding and meeting folks considering the complexity of the games.

Like I mentioned to @ejgrossman , I’m definitely okay with COIN games, just never had to chance to play one.

No need to think like intruding at all, I’m all open to ideas and I’d be, like I said before again lol, delighted to play them.

It’s completely okay, different strokes for different folks. I’m still looking out for these games just in case other users stumble upon this thread.

I sincerely appreciate you  
@BurntOutWreck, @ejgrossman and @akulkis00 fine folks for replying in this matter. I hope we would all play.

I think the original COIN game would be Avalon Hill’s 1776 (although it’s not an asymmetrical warfare type of game).
