AVL is the only module I know of that has an auto-counter for Victory Points, that one is written with the special Inventory 1.3 classes though so it's not much help for the non-JAVA literate among us...
I'm finishing up a module for Conflict Games' Kasserine Pass and here's what I'd like to do:
There are 9 cities worth different amounts of VP at the end of the game, for the Axis:
Ferriana -- 1 pt
Kasserine -- 1 pt
Sbiba -- 1 pt
Le Kef -- 2 pts
Thala -- 2 pts
Tebessa -- 3 pts
Note that the Allies begin in control of these cities and receive no points for owning them at the end of the game. The Allies receive points for holding:
Fondouk Al Aouareb -- 1 pt
Faid -- 1 pt
Maknassey -- 1 pt
At the moment I've got counters with 2 layers for each VP city - one layer has a green background to denote Allied control and the other layer has a grey background for Axis. They are immovable and cannot be deleted by the players, they can only be flipped.
I would like to add the VP values to these counters, and then have a VP button on the top menu that counts up and reports the current VP total.
I admit this is just fluff at this point, and not at all crucial to the module, but little details like this are what make VASSAL special!
I am open to any and all suggestions on how to proceed from here, including scrapping the city counters if another approach is required.
Thank you!
. I would be able to give plenty of direction and assistance...
