Has anyone heard or possibly involved in this site: http://swmplay.com/index.php ?

It was posted in the SW Mini group FB page.

I thought it was a cool idea, and I downloaded it, but it kept crashing at exactly the same point for me.

Ohh, well hopefully he will get it fixed, looks like it is still very early. Was wondering if anyone on our site was working with him on it.

Other people might have got it to work - it did look fun, just crashed at the same point for me every time.

I'm intrigued. Looks to be very promising.

There's an older thread here: http://www.bloomilk.com/forums/default.aspx?g=posts&t=14840

Feels like it could get going if enough people were interested.

I have been helping spread the word in order to find play testers on the Facebook pages. That is a about the extent of my involvement though

Is this a better Vassal? Anyone have more info on what it actually is?

You can download it and try for free but it's a self contained game with a few Rebel Storm squads, and you can play against AI.

It has potential, but it would take a programmer with a lot of time to make this reach its potential

Right now we have a programmer willing to put time into this project, I for one am going to try and support him and play test when I can. :)

It took a while, but folks have found it AWESOME! BigGrin
its from ~2015, but it's good stuff ain't it? hehe.
I cannot support this project moreso.

I see the potential for Metacombo testing in rapid AGI for new statcard playtest automating,
which is somewhat easier to do in the framework SWMplay made,
as compared with VASSAL.

It's a lot of fun isn't it?
It's right up there with "Tabletop Boardgame Simulator" and several other projects,
just a little ahead of VASSAL in my humble opinion.

SWMPlay still frequents Bloomilk, from time to time. BigGrin
|I can't thank them enough for their ideas on stat-card automation/scrapeing and batch-transliteration.|
Real world got in their way for a while.
If we're interested in making something happen there,
we can certainly reach out and contact them and get a ball rolling.
