Conquest Forum

Hi Klaus, I've never seen Vassal crash on me (Windows user), though I still only create modules using version 3.2.17 as I explained earlier. The Vassal forum provides pretty good support. What did players do just prior to the crash? I found that the Joel Toppen video tutorials on Youtube were very h...

Hi Klaus, I noticed the announcement. Currently I am using an earlier version of Vassal, so I can check it out sometime after I get the latest version. I'm staying on the 3.2.17 version from a development perspective until there is a stable version beyond that (I'm defining that as one where a bug f...

The more I think about it, the small 2x marker would make a lot of sense and would not take as many clicks and manipulations. Although it should remain pat of the stack so that the marker moves around when the elephant moves, I can specify an offset so that the marker appears on the side. Another wa...

Hi Klaus, I'll begin keeping a list of change requests and wait to see how users respond. I think that I can accommodate both the free placement of 2x markers (possibly other markers?) and a label for North/South. According to the Vassal Development Map will include a chess clock for version 3.5. ht...

The version 1 of the Conquest 2-player modules has been published to the Vassal site. You'll need to install Vassal, then download the game module.

Hi Klaus, I update the k(N)ight pieces, and clarified in the help file the best ways to use the 2x marker so players understand how it works and use as few clicks as is necessary. I also include another scenario that steps through turns 1-7 of a sample game from an old issue of Conquest Review. Unfo...

Hi Klaus,

My thinking with the 2x Soldier is that when it is placed, players will need to remove the regular soldiers, which are still on top.
Once we can firm that up, I'll make another update (including an updated to the notation for Knight (N).

Klaus,

Made another minor update to add a button to count the game turns.

All the best,
Tom

Hi Klaus, Update posted to same link. This includes smaller soldiers, a labeling option for the pieces (when you start a new game, you will be given a choice for labels or no labels), and color adjustment. There's also a substitution marker that shows two soldiers for when they are mounted on elepha...

Hi Klaus, Vassal "stacks" the pieces so if you place two soldiers on top of an elephant, they will appear as one soldier. I think I can come up with a routine that will allow the two soldier pieces to be substituted with a new marker that shows two soldiers side-by-side, and a routine to r...
