COMING SOON:

Future update will include the Quick-Play scenario from C3i #26.

'''VERSION 2.2 UPDATE!!!

1. Fixes an error to the Total Support calculation. (A glitch in the Reset button was causing the count to get out of sync.) I also updated the guerrilla graphics so that they look octagonal.

2. Includes Draw Card button on toolbar.

3. Mouse-over zooms on both Upcoming and Current Card spaces (deck is now on left of map).

4. Includes Quick-Play create deck button (for C3i #26 scenario).

'''

VERSION 2.0 UPDATE:

1. I've added "+" and "-" Resources buttons in the Available Forces boxes. Clicking on these adjusts Resources and moves the counter on the General Records Track.

2. Similarly, there are buttons in the GOVT Available Forces box to add or subtract Aid.

3. Manual Drag & Drop will adjust Resources/Aid as well.

4. I've modified the Opposition / Support automation: Adjusting support/opposition in spaces now also automatically moves the markers on the General Records Track.

5. The module now calculates Opposition + # of FARC Bases on the map.

6. I've closed a small loophole that I found could cause Support/Opposition auto-calculation to produce an incorrect total.

7. IMPORTANT Note for PBEM: If you are playing by email, create the deck before starting a VLOG file. For some reason the logging feature will not record the deck creation reliably. This appears to be an issue with the engine, not the module.

MODULE INSTRUCTIONS:

'''1. You will need to use VASSAL Engine version 3.2 beta 3 or higher to use this module. (http://www.vassalengine.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5579).'''

2. There are two error messages which occur which should be ignored: When you first load the module a missing "moved.gif" notice will appear in the comments box. Secondly, the FIRST time you press the "End Card Play" button on the toolbar, an error message will appear in the comments box. Ignore this. The function does exactly what it is supposed to. I've not been able to figure out why the message is generated. At any rate, neither error messages impact the performance of the VASSAL module.

3. A right-click on Population boxes (Cities and Departments) and Econ boxes (on LOCs) produces a menu to expedite placement of game pieces.

4. To create the deck, open the Deck Preparation Window by pressing the button on the toolbar. Inside this window, a single click of the "Create Deck" button will generate the deck which will appear on the map next to the Insurgent Momentum holding boxes.

5. In accordance with GMT's wishes, we will not be including the Solitaire game charts in the module. Thank you for understanding!

Enjoy!
