OK, after years of thinking about it, I'm thinking of joining the VASL group!  =)   Ker-sploosh!

So I've done the following:
1) Installed:
	a) Java
	b) VASSAL 3.2.8
	c) vasl-6.0.1.vmod
2) Downloaded v5boards.zip into a folder "v5boards"
3) Downloaded "overlays" folder and stuck that into the "v5boards" folder.
4) Run VASSAL, open the vasl module, it does tiling and stuff...<whir>...<whir>....
5) Select "Start new game offline", click NEXT
6) Select board 1 and click FINISH
7) I have the "VASL Controls" window with board 1 on the bottom.
7) Uhhh...now what?

So, it looks like things are working.  I have two computers and was going to play myself just to learn the ropes, but I also read you can play yourself on the same machine.

Basically, I can't figure out what to do next.  I thought I found an ASL-specific tutorial years ago when I tried, but it has been years.  Google isn't finding anything that is helping too much.  The VASSAL User Manual is more for getting going and logging in.  I'm there.  I need to know how to setup an ASL scenario--both sides--and perhaps some sample clicks to prep fire and do a simple turn.

Is there any VASL-specific tutorial/replay online to assist?

Any assistance would be appreciated!  Heck, I might even get up and running by Christmas break and do some real VASL with someone!

Thanks a bunch!

Matt

Oh, and yes, I've already pre-ordered AP9!  Heh... =)
