I've created a Dune module for VASSAL. What is VASSAL? According the VASSAL website at: http://www.vassalengine.org/index.html "VASSAL is an engine for...
It's on the VASSAL ftp site, not the website. You can get info on how to access the VASSAL ftp site at the vassalengine groups files area. I will try to upload...
Go to the Yahoo Group, vassalengine. The module is in "Files" under "Module Uploads". You'll have to go to the VASSAL website to download the VASSAL engine,...
Sitko, I'd love to upload my Dune for VASSAL module to the site, but when trying to do so today, I got the following error message: The disk space allotted for...

How often do games start? What interfaces are used - I see something about "Vessel" and it sounds like somebody wanting to test a pbem Dune application. I'd be...
Dune for VASSAL can be played PBEM, but, VASSAL modules can be played live online at the VASSAL servers. As the creator of the Dune module, I'd prefer to play...
And to answer your quesiton about how often PBEMs start up, it depends. I am just about to start another 9 player Dune variant (after the holidays), but we're...
You can put me down as second alternative. I used to do pbm games (Diplomacy, Kingmaker, Dune, Railway Rivals) and games often took 2 or 3 years to complete,...
I can certainly be available sometime next week for a Dune game. I have never played an on-line game in real time except for Microsoft Hearts Network ... I...
Tom, check out the website at www.geocities.com/sitkogm and read the rule changes at the IJrules link. Then, if your still interested, I'll add you to our...
I'm a newbie in here!!! I've one question... How to avoid the great power of the alliance between Emperor and guild?...Because the guild pay for his treachery...
FYI..... When the Emperor buys his own treachery cards the money goes to the Spice Bank and when the Guild pays for his own shipping the money goes to the...
Actually the Emperor-Guild Alliance is not really what you should be worried about... The strongest alliance I have seen is the BG-Atreides alliance. Voice &...
There is a difference between the rules of the tleilaxu (Colin's rules here in the files section) and the advantages of the tleilaxu's sheild (also in the...
I think I've come up with a nice version for the Tleilaxu, it wouldn't be workable in a Face to Face game, and could ONLY work with a GM, but feel free to...
There is a strategy for parting the guild with it's spice: As the Atredies, stage a (potential game winning) situation in which the guild is forced to defend...
I agree with the other posters who have responded -- The Guild/Emperor is not really particularly powerful (or common) alliance. Usually alliances are formed...
Not sure if that works all the time. Guild can make a spice deal saying something like "You know I cannot stop Atreides because of my weak military. However,...
Most of the games I play are of the "no alliance" variety. When I find myself in a game that permits alliances, I am hesitant to join them. For one thing,...
I am very interested in a live game using VASSAL, if you guys don't mind that I am Dune newbie (but boardgamegeek otherwise, favorites Adv. Civ and Empires In...
I managed to put together a primitive homemade copy of Dune and played it with my son. Excellent game, we liked it a lot (now I am trying to get hold of a used...
Per, Unless you are dead set on playing Dune in "real time" (and being in other countries I can imagine that's going to be pretty hard to coordinate), I might...
Thanks for the answer. I know the Cyberboard program, trouble is I am on a Mac and it only runs on Windows. That's why I prefer the Java-based Vassal (which...
I'm new to the site, but I've played Dune countless times in person with friends. I was wondering how often emulator games occur, and if anybody is interested...
