The Vassal Game Engine, What is it and how does it work ?

As the tread title says, the Vassal Game Engine, What is it and how does it work ?

I understand that it is used for the Operation Overlord Campaign, and it looks good.
I have an idea of a campaign and would like to use Vassal. Does anyone know the "nuts & bolts" of the engine ?

Basically mimics the board games. it records your move including dice rolls etc. How about we give it a go.

If it works we could maybe think of a ladder.

I only saw this post now, would you be on for playing a battle ?

 

[Bootie]

Yes we would need to source a game where we have access to the rules though.

I'll look for one over the next few days, how about something on the eastern front ?

 

[Bootie]

Yeah that would be fine.

I used it for Advanced Squad Leader. VASL (Virtual ASL) is a module produced for use with VASSAL.......
