Of course, the ultimate Panzer Grenadier VASSAL experience would be a module that included all the maps and all the pieces from everything. You still would only be able to play the scenarios you had the scenario books for. I have a Lock n Load module like that on my computer and I am able to play the scenarios from the Band of Heros, but not anything from Not One Step Back. I get to look at the Russian pieces, but only play the game ftf when my opponent brings over his game (then we just set up the cardboard - which is always the best way to play).

Hey Zombydawg,

I have that same Lock N' Load module and I have the hard copy of the 2nd edition Band Of Heroes. I really liked the system but only played one solo and there is really no support site for LNL as there is for PG. However, if you are interested, I wouldn't mind playing via VASSAL.

PM me if there is any interest in that.

Of course, I am also one of the Skype players that Vince mentioned for PG so that is always an option as well.

That sounds good. I've played LnL a few times and I have made set-up files for all the BoH scenarios (that means all the pieces are pulled; you just have to set them up. I just ordered the Airborne VASSAL module which is why I am at this site. I haven't had many opportunities to play PG ftf, so I'm really excited about it. When I have played VASSAL I have used either Skype or Ventrillo.

I am currently playing the Airborne VASSAL game with Shad (the site's creator) using logfiles. However, if you have a small PG scenario in mind, it isn't too much to play PG via Skype. I wrote a small summary of how this works in a post about 5 months ago.

LnL would probably play faster and can probably be completed in an evening - where PG is probably more likely to be a 2 session game for shorter scenarios (counters and turns) where larger ones can take up to 4 or more sessions.

Let me know at tlangston28 at comcast dot net (e-mail disguised to prevent spam harvesting) or use the "PM" button below if you want to discuss getting a time/scenario selected at some point.

I just ordered airborne and haven't received it yet, so I'm not ready to play that. I would really like to learn the PG system better. It's been a little while but I think I could play BoH.
