Learning how to play 40k and playing exclusively on VASSAL.
Is this feasible? I've already found all of the most recent codexes and rulebook on the internet.

Yes, I only play on vassal. It's really a good setup. How'd you find it now? The guy making the good module got shut down a while ago. If you pm me or something, I'll probably be up for a game to show you the ropes of vassal.Chaotic Neutral wrote:Is this feasible?

Thanks, maybe sometime in a week or two. My gaming time is pretty much filled with another game after Tuesday.

What is VASSAL? An online W40k simulator or something?
A scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the Earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy.
At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: 'What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.
The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, 'What is the tortoise standing on?'
'You're very clever, young man, very clever,' said the old lady. 'But it's turtles all the way down.'

Its a boardgame simulator. Its usable to hopeless depending on the quality of the module involved.
I'm not going to bother with the lmgtfy.com link.

Really, the only huge advantage I can think of (and good enough for my purposes) is that you can get a network connection so I can play with people I couldn't play with otherwise. Well, that and the dice rollers are nice in a good module, but those are rare to be a true plus rather than just nice. I'd say the 40k module is the best one I've seen. It's very well put together, and I can't honestly think of a lacking feature other than a good way to deal with buildings.Stark wrote:Its a boardgame simulator.

Being free is a pretty serious advantage. 
I play a bunch of older wargames on Vassal, because there are quality modules for it that make it way more fun than playing the cardboard chit version in 1988. I thought the 40k module went underground because of GW action?
Maybe I'm thinking of the Arkham Horror module. Man, I'd kill for that module. I'd take pictures of me next to my pile of Arkham Horror boxes. Just replacing the fucking card decks would be worth actual money for me.
