Also---regarding stopping and starting....when you finish a session (say you played a few turns) you can stop and end log file...
Then when you start up again, using you .vsav file, you start a new log file (with a name telling you what turn ...up to you...)..
in the end, when you submit, you can submit all your log files---Peter has suggested zipping them up....
so you don't have to leave Vassal open, subject to the "update whims of Mr. Gates"......you can save the progress,
and then start a new one when you sit down again.
from what I understand.
