Yes, see [https://forum.vassalengine.org/t/a-deck-question/1476/1](https://forum.vassalengine.org/t/a-deck-question/1476/1) This is what you want to do in principle. Although this is talking about dealing a deck of cards it is exactly the same idea of how to do it -----Original Message----- From: [messages-bounces@vassalengine.org](mailto:messages-bounces@vassalengine.org) [[mailto:messages-bounces@vassalengine.org](mailto:messages-bounces@vassalengine.org)] On Behalf Of mustangblaster Sent: Saturday, August 27, 2011 4:59 PM To: [messages@vassalengine.org](mailto:messages@vassalengine.org) Subject: [messages] Edit: [Module Design] randomly placing tokens on a board [This message has been edited.] Hello, I’m new to the vassal engine, so any help would be much appreciated. I’m looking for a script whereby the engine places random type of resources (wood, stone, gold, etc.) from a common pool on random spaces of a predefined part of the board. The number of resources of each type is limited within the pool. Say, there are 7 wood, 5 stone and 3 gold altogether in there. Is there any way to achieve this result with VASSAL? Thank you for your time. * * * Read this topic online here: [https://forum.vassalengine.org/t/randomly-placing-tokens-on-a-board/4216/1](https://forum.vassalengine.org/t/randomly-placing-tokens-on-a-board/4216/1) --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.vassalengine.org/t/randomly-placing-tokens-on-a-board/4216)._
