By the way, back when I was trying to get this started up the second time I created a few documents that might help someone/everyone. The first was a short VASSAL "How To' guide that explains a bit of how to get going in VASSAL. The second is an Excel spreadsheet that shows the rules we were using in our web games. Essentially what we said was our games were 7th edition plus what is in the spreadsheet. The third was an attempt at a Word document tracking everyone that was interested in playing DP online. It has names, e-mail addresses, the time zone the person is located in, and their preferrred time to play. My thinking back then was that I'd have group e-mails that would go out to everyone on the list noting game times, scenarios, "after action' reports, etc. and would act as a sort of VASSAL DP newsletter of sorts. And for those of us that have no pilots other than those we'd be able to generate in online games, I thought of compiling a pilots list as well. If anyone is interested in what I've got, please let me know and I'd be more than happy to pass it along.

Kirk, if it would help kickstart VASSAL gaming online, I'd be glad to put up a special page on ISD featuring pilot rosters, the How To guide, etc., etc.
That way, VASSAL gamers would have one central location where they could go for complete information about online gaming, and everyone would know where to get downloads, email lists of online players, and all the rest. I could put up a series of links on the same page and make all the information available at a click.
Interested? If you fed me all the material in the proper format, I could get started in the next few weeks after I get the new forum finalized and release the ISD redesign. What think ye?

Stephen, I'd love to give it a try again but I just want everybody to know I'm neither an expert at DP or at VASSAL. The only DP games I've ever played are those I've enjoyed online, either via John Noddings old webgames or via VASSAL. And the only "VASSALing" I've ever done is to play DP and a game of Squad Leader (with one of the guys that played DP with us as well). Drop me an e-mail and I''ll send you the files I've created. They're not much but they're a start, and I guess we have to start somewhere.
