Subject: X-Wing on Vassal - anyone tried it?

Hey all,
So having recently got into it I am really loving the quick-fire nature of X-Wing games, but unfortunately I struggle to get regular games in my current location as it is not as popular as other systems. I was thinking about having a crack on Vassal, but I was curious to know if anyone here had experienced it and had any insights on whether it is worth it / any pitfalls to avoid, etc.?
Cheers in advance!

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices. |

I've tried Vassel multiple times... I know people enjoy it, but I can't make it work.

It's fine to get extra games in. Doesn't have the same feel, obviously, but the people have been great so far for me. It's definitely a little clunky to get started, but most people will be willing to show you around your first few games. Here is a good starting point.
