Hi all,
I discovered Vassal few days ago, I tried some games (Twilight Struggle for instance) and I can say it’s the best way to play online to board games.
It has a lot of functionalities: save (the most important one, you can’t find it in sites like Game Board Arena, BrettSpielWelt or Yucata) - play by email - play p2p - play on a central server - play alone in hotseats mode (ver very useful to learn a new game) - great graphics - some logic in the modules (depends of course by the module developer).
The only drawback are still the reduced number of games, too much oriented to “war games” … I hope they’ll grow up !!!
In a comparison with the cousing Zun Tzu game engine, there isn’t any chance for this one … apart from a better graphics, surely it’s worse (no central server so it’s difficult to find opponents, no play by email, no play alone, no logic in the modules, only a sharing of the screen …)
Please, let me know your feelings.
Best regards,
Ale
