What better time to dive into Vassal than when all major sports leagues are suspended, all public gatherings are forbidden, and there's no toilet paper on store shelves?

In order to help us manage and improve the Vassal collection here at PG-HQ, we are now asking that you please track all Vassal plays!

Starting today, when you go to record a Solo or Shared Play within My PG-HQ, you will see a checkbox asking you if this was played in whole or in part on Vassal. Please check this box if applicable!

As part of implementing this change, I've gone back through the past records and automatically updated all records meeting any of the following criteria:

• Shared Play with method set as "Vassal"
• Play of scenario from PG Über Mentoring game
• Recent play of scenario from PG Demo 4th Edition used for Academy progress

This gives us a good start. There's no sense in going back and changing every record, but I do ask that you please carefully track this going forwards!

The more Vassal plays we show, the more Vassal content we can make!

Thank you everyone. And, as always, play more PG!

After almost a year of labor in secret, a small team of dedicated individuals has created the Mother of All Vassal Modules - what we affectionately codenamed "PG-HQ Über"!

More content will roll in over the coming days, but for now sit back and relax and have a look through our VASSAL Players Hub!

And a special thank you to Avalanche Press for believing in us! Please hit up their webstore to order some new PG games to play over Vassal!
