The Problem: Playing head to head on the same board limits the effectiveness of hidden units, flexibilities in deployment strategy, and certain units such as tank destroyers.
The Traditional Solution: Double-blind play with a referee
The Traditional Solution's Problem: It's hard to get three people on the same playing schedule AND it's not a lot of fun for the referee.
The VASSAL Solution: "Triple Blind" play
Fancy Graphic:
Explanation: With 3 participants, the same scenario is played simultaneously amongst every player. In this way each player plays both sides AND serves as judge for the other two. Since everyone is both player and judge, there is a stronger than usual incentive to see the scenarios through to the end. (I apologize to everyone I've ever flaked out on during VASSAL games!)
Provided 3 like-minded players can be found, I think this would be brilliant fun.
