Had a great time and learned a lot. Appreciate Eddie being patient with us old
guys.:) Feeling a little more confident now that I’m getting the hang of it
and think that we could take it to the next level next time. Being old school,
I do like the idea of having the cheat sheets/player aides for your game Cadet
in my hot little hand for next time as well. Looking forward to Eddie creating
a sheet for the controls of Table Top Simulator for us as well. Thanks Eddie.
Almost feels like I’m entering the 21st Century.
Cheers, Phil

I had a blast, and I'd play pretty much any game this way if we can't get
together in the bunker!

Thanks Forrest but I am in the midst of a pressing project and not sure I will
have time or the knowledge to set things up, but I plan on delving deeper onto
this. That said, nothing can ever truly replace getting all together for some
live in person gaming.

Just note, though, you could join us on Discord, then Eddie could screen share
the game with you over Discord and you could see what's going on and talk to us.

Forrest, this all sounds great. I have been curious about steam and vassal for
some time but as you mentioned it is difficult to use with a touch pad which is
what I have currently. Will look into getting a mouse for my laptop.

Hi guys,
Eddie will be running an online tutorial of Discord and Tabletop Simulator
using a simple horse and musket game tomorrow night at 6:30. To participate,
send your Discord name and your Steam names to:
eddiemhharris@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:eddiemhharris@xxxxxxxxx>
and he will send you at invite to the session just before it starts tomorrow.
We'll help you get comfortable with moving pieces, rolling dice, measuring
movement, and finding your way around in the tabletop simulator environment.
All you need is a mouse and a couple of keys on the keyboard, and there is no
speed or reflex stuff involved because you're really just playing a boardgame.
It's extremely intuitive.
You will need;
Discord download: https://discordapp.com/ ;<https://discordapp.com/>
Steam, and buy Tabletop Simulator inside of Steam.
Computer (not a phone) with mouse (trackpad will be very clunky)
https://store.steampowered.com/ ;<https://store.steampowered.com/>
Headphones or ear buds (so your computer speakers don't cause an echo for
everyone else).
Once we master a simple game, we'll load up the Fire and Fury Regimental game
that's in the community workshop area of tabletop simulator.
The Discord server is called Normal Online Wargaming, and it's a place we can
meet to make plans and communicate for all kinds of online gaming. You'd be
amazed the wargaming stuff that the community has put together on TTS.
Forrest
