^ oh, I thought you were asking where it was on his computer. Duh.

The files are also on Echo's DropBox.
(follow the Rules Resources link at the top of the community page to get there)

Okay - found it. The latest files are all in Swinefeld's file-share under the Vassal folder.

Find the link to Swinefeld's file share here: http://www.bloomilk.com/Community

1. Install Vassal from the Vassal website.
2. Put the .vmod file (from Swinefeld's file share) in the Program Files>VASSAL folder.
3. Create a folder called SWMinis_ext under the VASSAL folder. So Program Files>VASSAL>SWMinis_ext
4. Put the .mdx file (from Swinefeld's file share) in SWMinis_ext
5. Run Vassal. Open module and choose the .vmod file
6. In Vassal, right-click on the module and add extension. Choose the .mdx file.

The files Swinefeld has are not compressed (.rar) files, but if in some future iteration you are downloading compressed files you will need to decompress them.

Can you update the first post of this thread? Or create a new sticky entirely? It took me a *long* time to get this working. The SWM files on Vassal itself are out of date, swmresources.com is down, and the ones in Dropbox are not labeled as Vassal files. After finally finding them on your file share, I had to watch thereisnotry's video (which as far as I can tell isn't mentioned in this thread) to realize I need to right-click on the module to add the extension.

Anyone have the link to thereisnotry's how-to video?

Finally. It works. Thanks. Something about the old module, buried deep in the HD, causing problems.
