Blog Entries: 3  |  40k ONLINE - Vassal From Warseer: I play this personally too sometimes. Did a search and found nothing so figured I would toss this out here for anyone interested in playing 40K 'online'. This is not DoW, its the actual table top game played on the PC.. and online! So if you US folks ever wanted to give one of those Euro powergamers a beat down... heres your chance. hehe  Works on any PC, just need to download the Vassal program found here: http://www.vassalengine.org/community/index.php Then download the 40K mod found here: http://www.100uploads.com/ht/files/0...N/40KMod_vrs33 (ver 3.3 is the current as far as I now) Been playing this for about a month now. Takes about a hour to get use to the controls, but its not a perfect system and no where near table top quality, its pretty damn nice for what it can do. Peace. (edited) I'm guessing these are the creators of the 40k mod for Vassal in this thread... so props to them and read about what there updating next. http://www.librarium-online.com/foru...ad.php?t=91765 Couple of Screenshots: http://img237.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vassal2tl0.png http://img237.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vassal1ki1.png http://img169.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vassal3lu0.png (this one shows more of the game controls) http://img169.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vassal4hi0.png (with some of the game templates used) http://img169.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vassal5wd4.png (IG vs Tau)

Blog Entries: 4 | Cool ,like Megamek for the Battletech game. Does it have a single player against a bot mode?

| its not that great. hard to install, hard to set up a game, and not single player. graphics arent good, its just really confusing and complicated, more so then 40k ;D just go get DoW, really. or play a REAL game!

Hardly so.. its more realistic that DoW, but not like a real game. DOW = units does not match game strength heh. Its still an online simulator, and you can interact with other people too. And people can watch. Overseas matches in real time~ heh.

Blog Entries: 4 | Trudat. Trudat indeed. The reason that these things aren't singleplayer is that it's RIDICULOUSLY difficult to set up a "true AI" for something like this. Unless you want to put some SERIOUS hours into it. Even then it would be pre-scripted campaign missions. Graphics: well, we're hoping for a bit much if we want DoW graphics aren't we? :P You're lucky I never finished my version of this. Else we'd have WD "eagle's-eyes view" visuals. However, to be fair this does feel very clunky. I don't particularly favor it =/ EDIT: oh yeah and ikky your link is expired
