Hi everyone,

Unfortunately, I don't really have time to play a full game live, I am looking for players that may be interested in playing Vassal40K via email.

Just to be clear, the way this would work would be using the game log feature in Vassal. The first player plays his turn, using the chat to explain his actions (as he would do in a live game). Once the turn is finished, the log is sent to the other player, who can then continue it.

Of course, not having the other player available means that some decisions (like wound allocation) would need to be taken by the current player instead of the opposite one, but as long as common sense and good faith is used, this shouldn't be an issue.

The frequency of the turns would depend on the players themselves, but, ideally, it should be kept to 1 turn every 1-2 days, otherwise a game can drag on for a really long time.

If anyone is interested, just post a message here or send me an email to darrondo@gmail.com and we can agree on the game details.
