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.

Has anyone made use of Shad's module? Any idea from Mike as to how popular a download it has been? And how is the Elsenborn one progressing? If there is hope for that, there is hope for the other game series.

I got the booklet and the module. All I've done so far is set up some pieces for the first scenario. I wonder how the strongpoints will work on VASSAL.

RE: Shad is published at last Vassal
Hi Daniel,
At the risk of getting flame-throwered away by Andrew for slightly off-topic, I'll answer quick:
Pacific Crossroads.
It's a good game, a good number of scenarios, no subs / aircraft, and... Mike indicates he's storing a number of them! It did not sell as well as SWWAS Coral Sea.
After that, maybe Plan Gold. Remember the Maine and Russo-Japanese War would be good candidates, based on the counter mix.
Does VASSAL allow for double-blind play, i.e. handling search functions etc? That was one of the best features of the spreadsheet / VB program Russel and I made to handle GWAS operational. Double-blind makes for awesome GWAS / SWWAS games.
Did I mention I own 4 PG games?
-Jim
