Akiyoshi, Sorry, every time I try to catch up on my emails one of my sons interrupts me, so I rush.
The Global command seemed to be the answer to some of your wishes. So why is it so powerful :- In short One piece can remotely control another piece triggering a single command" or multiple commands, it can also be used to trigger multiple command son itself. The commands triggered have to match the keystroke sent to the piece that matches the properties defined in the Global Command. Properties such as selected=true, <Layer_Name>=infantry or type=foot (defined by marker) The command can act on itself. You can have multiple globals on a piece. This has all been further enhanced by the Trigger Action Command. In Summary, 1.Globals look for pieces matching a set criteria or combination of differing criteria e.g. the target(s) of the command, and send the keys to those targets as though they had been selected. 2.Trigger Action :- is similar to global it looks for targets that match sleection properties/criteria. However it can be executed by a single keystroke or when other keystorkes are made and in turn can send a single or number of keystrokes to the targets. 3.I believe Commands on a game piece are executed in sequence the bottom one in the list is executed first. These two commands can make almost anything happen to a piece between pieces , move pieces between maps................. Together with Prototype and markers and of course PLANNING most of what you wish for is possible with maybe a little imagination. PRIVATE OPINION So Many Requests for features maybe we should set or re state Vassals goals and prioritise our requirements in line with them. Of course Vassal simulates Physical Components and some human interaction is desired and its this feel that sets "board games" and "miniatures" apart from pure computer games. Vassal enables us to keep the feel of the simulation whilst removing much of the chores associated with housekeeping , tidying counters, administration functions and of course a table to play on against opponents across the world.
