Gary... Thanks for replying.
I think the map is abs. great--v. nice 3-D effect. Unfortunately, I can't find the rules anywhere. It would be nice if the publishers could, at least, publish rules (for a small price) for games which are long out of print. It would do so much to revive interest, and we could all appreciate your talent more readily. Just a general question... Why don't publishers release Vassal versions of their games? It seems so restrictive and nonsensical to limit the beautiful new graphics possibilities to FTF play. Couldn't map boards and rules be key-coded to protect the copyrights?

Ah, I remember, he was working on a Cyberboard version when I offered my map since I knew that I wouldn't get to making a module with it for some time. So Greg did all of the leg work on the module itself, I made the map. I've since made another version of the map that I like better and Greg said that he might consider either updating the module with it or we could make it available on the VASSAL site and people could simply swap those out if they liked. > > GJK > > At 10:42 PM 11/29/2007, you wrote: > >Hi, Everyone... > > > >I downloaded and installed the beautiful new Vassal mod Panzer > >Command.
