Grouillez-vous les mecs, on doit construire une palanquée de monuments à la gloire de Rhum. Non, de Rome. Vu qu'on est en 56 avant le Christ et qu'on doit pas y mettre 107 ans, si Jésus et son père le charpentier viennent nous prêter main forte, ça sous-entendra qu'on est un peu à la bourre, ...

Thread: Computer Based Board Gaming::...
by cpf86
Hi, Is there any good turned based boardgame site similar to what boardgaming-online does for through the ages? I really love how BGO allows my friends an I to play a game that we only played once a year prior to using the site. I am looking for similar website that I can do for other games. I have tried vassal, but totally does not get how to use it in between turns. everything is so confusing for vassal. thanks in advance!

Update - Small World v4.0
Small World has been updated to version 4.0.
The 'Help' command on the race and power tokens has been disabled because:
1) It duplicated the functionality of the help charts.
2) Unlike the help charts, it obscured the race/power token for all players while one player was using the help command.
3) Because it was visible to all players, it telegraphed the player's interest in a race without a clear indication that it was doing so.
4) I didn't want to bother doing the image processing for the added Be Not Afraid... races/powers.
5) It was not implemented for all existing race and power badges anyway.
6) It would rarely, but occasionally, cause pieces to disappear. I suspect this was merely a design error, not a Vassal bug, but because of the other 5 reasons I didn't really investigate. Probably mostly number 4.
Other changes:
- Token tray pieces are now in decks, and support the 'draw multiple' command.
- Game pieces are now in layers, such that, e.g., fortresses or lairs always appear underneath race tokens, and dragons and heroes always appear on top.
- Victory points are still manipulated as in the tabletop game - that is, by moving coin tokens around - but they are actually stored as a single number, which is shown above your victory point bag. This total can be hidden or revealed.
- Map regions are all defined for better reporting: i.e. 'Player 1 moves Dwarves from Region 12 to Region 16' instead of 'Player 1 moves Dwarves from offboard to offboard'.

22 January Update
That Was the Fortnight That Was
Weather: Cold. Games: Hot.
We love this indoor time of year in the Northern Hemisphere. While people hunker down indoors during these short days and fight off Winter’s chill, nothing goes better than a large cup of your favorite hot beverage and a small game from The Little Game Company to joyously pass the time and relax between life’s pressures. There have been some record cold-fronts moving across the United States, but your desire for the latest offerings from Victory Point Games has been a pleasant warm breeze filling our sails as we bring you plenty of new games for the New Year.
 Although there has been a lot of playtesting (and no shortage of design) on the game tables of late here at VPG, we’re remaining cognizant of the fact that those very tables are about to moved out from under the very games we have set up on them. That is because The Little Game Company that Could is moving to a new office/warehouse location about 200 feet across the parking lot here at 3303 Harbor Boulevard in Costa Mesa, California.
It’s a larger space that provides us room to meet our needs over the next few years for planned growth of key staff and the acquisition of new equipment to improve the quality of our myriad board and computer game products going forward. Spring commences on March 20th and our move to the new facility should follow very quickly thereafter. It will be a short-term disruption for The Slightly Larger Game Company that Still Can, but after enduring that disruption we should be in a great position to bring you “ more better games.” Watch this column for details as they are announced.

Thread: PBEM:: [VASSAL] Pandemic players?
by Shadoglare
Hey guys, I'd like to try a PBEM session of Pandemic, and would like to try playing with the full 4-5 players. If we get enough people, was thinking I'd like to play with the mutation expansion and maybe even the virulent strain expansion on top of that. Anybody interested? (note with that many people it will be a slow game).

Paul Koenig's Market Garden: Eindhoven Bridge...
Eindhoven Bridge: September 17-19, 1944
 Paul Koenig’s Market Garden is a series of small-format, competitive introductory-level wargames covering the critical first three days of Operation Market-Garden, where the Allies attempted to seize a series of bridges in Holland and end WWII before Christmas. Each game in the series covers a separate bridge: Arnhem, Nijmegen, and Eindhoven.
Eindhoven Bridge is the second game in the Market Garden series, covering the events happening at this vital fiver crossing from September 17th-19th, 1944. Each player commands their German or American forces so as to capture key objectives on the board while keeping your casualties down (and your opponent’s casualties up).
With plenty of decision making and Optional Rules to extend gameplay and realism, the very collapse of Germany is at stake as you make your stand and bring your enemies down at Eindhoven Bridge!
Click here for all the details and to order Paul Koenig's Market Garden: Eindhoven Bridge.

Thread: PBEM:: Antike?
by High Elf Andrew
With no randomness this has to be the ultimate choice for a PBEM game as there is no need for one person to act as an overseer or anything. Imperial/Imperial 2030 can both be played online but Antike can't as there is no platform on which to play it. Would anyone like a game? 4/5 players ideally
