Ben, I’m curious: Were you the designer for some of the other OCS modules?
I ask becuase several of them (DAK II, Hube’s Pocket, Burma) look like
they weren’t done from scans. There seems to be a lot of map-to-map color
variation in your Case Blue map scans, and a lot of noise. I wonder if it
would be possible to get the original art, as someone clearly did that for
some of the other games in the series.
The only one I created was Tunisia Joel. Originally my Tunisia module had scanned maps, that was until someone was kind enough to send me the originals; I’m hoping the same thing will happen with my Case Blue module 
I’m very much “shoot-first, ask no questions” when it comes to creating modules. Getting authorisation and waiting on official maps and counters is a process which would mean less playing and a lot more waiting around for something to happen (or not). The biggest mistake I’ve ever made with Vassal was asking for Amarillo Design Bureau’s permission to make a Star fleet Battles module, all I was met with was rudeness and legal threats. In hindsight I should have made it, released it, then waited for them to tell me to take it offline.
I have a one little problem with Case Blue module. I started playing yeasterday with my friend and i see one thing; where are Order of arrive chart?? We cant continue the campaign, cos we dont know the reinforcements! Does somebody have the charts? Please help.
Cheers.
Hi Carpet.
The OOA charts come with the game you bought.
But i dont have the Case Blue game… I only have a module 
Enemy at the Gates have charts in internet, and all other OCS games too. Except Case blue, right?
Well I suggest you support the designer/publisher by buying the game; If me putting an OOA in the module means you will not buy the game then I’m definitely not putting one in.
Please support the producers of these games.
HERE HERE I second that thought…
Good job…
Mmm… there are some very valid problems they have, such as Paramount’s lawyers potentially driving them out of business if you happen to overstep the bounds of the (sadly restrictive) license. And of course, they like the paid SFBOL service, and I doubt they want to engender a competitor to that.
And, when I contacted them for permission to do an F&E module, they very politely gave it.
Edit: Not wanting to start an off-topic argument, just pointing out that they do have other concerns, and giving my own contrasting example.
I agree Rindis, I’m glad you had a good experience with them. I guess it was the way they went about it that disturbed me.
SFBOL is good for ship vs ship, and that’s about it; It’s a clunky dated system with an unintuitive interface and they charge for it, hence the reason I wanted to do a Vassal module.
Mmm. Sad to hear it, I have yet to try it out. I would think that having the SSD support would outweigh any other disadvantages. 
And heck, it’s about a 1/3 the price of my WoW addiction, so I can’t complain on the price. I just keep putting it off for lack of time.
At some point, when I have tried it (it’ll happen someday), I may want to talk to you about your problems with the interface. Getting someone else’s take on UI issues is always interesting. 
It’s pretty simple, if I open an application and the first thing i see on the menu are “File” and “Edit”, I feel comfortable it’ll be an easy application to figure out. People always try to do things “better” by changing the things users are comfortable with. It doesn’t matter how good the change is, users are in no-man’s land if things are different to what they’re used to.
