... CC has the huge advantage of being playable within 2-3 hours with passably snappy play. Even the smaller PG scenarios feel like they take a much longer...
You know, these little digs don't go un-noticed by those of us who don't agree with you, and I have a solution: Why don't you develop a proprietary PzG-only...
I don't understand this message, David. *"you could give it to APL, they could distribute it, and we could all use it. For free, of course."* That's pretty...
I know this is an old argument, and not one I want to go through again. Suffice it to say that I assert that there's no realized benefit to AvP for authorizing...
I can do no better than to survey customers. To that end I have posted what I hope is a fairly comprehensive poll in BoardGameGeek's forum for A Victory Lost ,...
Doug, there were some large-scale games set up in the ORIGINS war room, but since I'm just getting back into the hobby after being away from it for quite a...
... Don't know, I'm still trying to get a complete game. Not completely APLs fault, but I'm at three requests for replacement countersheets. I do understand...
Andrew, I do not want to denigrate your efforts, but I do question how valuable the answers to the questions you pose are. I question how much of the ...
As a possible solution to the VASSAL issue, I would like to pose this question; If Avalanche Press were to develop their own VASSAL modules, or take ...
Something to keep in mind; a Vassal module would include the counters and maps but none of the scenarios or rules. Those you would still have to buy the module...
... What he said. Yet we do cover the ground again and again, so it must be important. My initial comment was a simple statement of fact setting up a...
David, You could always do what GMT does with their VASSAL and Cyberbox modules. Create them yourself (meaning the company) and only release the module upon ...
If you're talking about a game that is *only* available on VASSAL, such as what Dan Verssen has been doing with Down in Flames for years, then of course I do...
I don't know about you, but I value my time quite a bit. I'm sure that AvL does as well - and why shouldn't they? But, please, explain to me why you are...
I think the distinction that our differing viewpoints hinges on is the value of a VASSAL module. For someone to charge for a VASSAL module, it had better have...
This is the ultimate problem. You are not willing to put money toward the problem, and AvL is not willing to do it for free. I think it's fair for AvL to...
Hi guys, first time poster, so I hope that you won't mind that I jump straight in. I've been following this discussion with great interest and would like to ...
Sorry for "spamming", but I've re-read the last post and would like to counter the argument presented there. If I understand it correctly, David asks what the...
I went to the MMP site today, and what I noticed was that I wasn't able to download the series rules to any of their games there. I went to the AvP site, and...
I see the subtlety of my statement was conveniently ignored. I hate being the bad guy in this argument. I just wish people would get a broader perspective on...
I agree with Marcus. I think APL have some terrific products ... but I am a player not a collector. There are many of us who advocate the games we like to...
I am beginning to agree with you. But, rather than sit around and bitch and moan, let's come up with a pro-active solution. What is your solution for the...
... I've already suggested a cut-down EFD package that APL would (obviously) need to approve, along with the reasons why I felt it would be successful in both...
