I've played a game or two of CC:A, but Vassal is completely new to me, though I think I figured out where to get the module. I'd like to play be email, so I've got something to do on my lunch break at work. Anybody up for teaching me? I promise to lose the first game.

If no one else steps up, I'll help you out. My only hesitation is that we are moving soon so I am not sure how much time I can consistently devote to this.
But I have trained quite a few in Memoir on Vassal PBEM and a couple on Ancients.

Rather than Vassal which doesn't enforce rules, you might want to try playing C&CA at http://wargameroom.com

Does the War Room have the same support and community for the game that Vassal has?

I really want to learn Vassal, CC:A is just a way to get my feet wet so to speak. I also need to play by PBeM.

Ed,
If you haven't had much success hooking up with anyone by Monday, pm me and I'll arrange a time to help you out. I'll have a wide variety of times at that point to meet up with you.

I'm also a CC:A and vasal noob. I just purchased my copy of both the core and 1st expansion earlier this week and they are in route to my house as I type this. (Go CLS Games! WOOT!) I'm also looking for someone to teach me the ways of Vasal. I'm not a Commands and Colrs noob though. I have quite a few games of Memoir '44, Battlelore and Battlecry under my belt. I'm willing to play via wargames room too if anyone is interested.

I realise this isn't relevant to most users but I should point out that while Wargameroom looks great, it isn't at all friendly to Mac users. There are some Java gymnastics that can be used to get it running in a limited way but even then Macs apparently can't host.
I've found Vassal excellent online and it's also a great engine for quick and easy solo play.
Brent.

My Mac hosted a game of Twilight Struggle from wargameroom this morning with no apparent problems. Granted all I did was the setup and the first action round....

That's good news. Maybe they've introduced Apple scripts (for Twilight Struggle at least). There was a discussion of how one user previously managed to get it to run for TS here....the relevant entry is about half way down (post 9).

Brent,
I've run into a few snags with my Mac but been able to work them all out. Just a few different steps here and there and it usually works fine. Let me know if you need any help!

Count me among those who are happy to help out
Geekmail or email, or if you see me on Vassal, feel free to ask me for a game there as well.
I would suggest playing a game, or at least a few turns, "live" on Vassal before going strictly pbem.

Thanks for all the offers. I've sent out a geekmail, so hopefully i'll be vassaling very soon. Maybe I'll even get to play Vietnam again!
