I added links to the Monpoc items for Vassal on the sidebar, so please I highly advise, go get them.
Remember, I'm new. So today, I learned that with my Empire of the Apes I'm building... I can use these guys!
T-Rex! Yes, this makes the game even that much more fun! I've also learned that monsters can traverse great depths, and water means nothing to them. Why would I think that a 61 meter tall behemoth would have a problem, hell, they are puddles to him!
So back to the community thing... First, I posted online a few rules questions and introduced myself. Usually these things can go one of two ways with one being "n00b!" comments. However, everyone was VERY nice. I got answers to all my questions and learned a thing or two about a thing or two.
Then, venturing onto Vassal, I got to watch two great games tonight. The Subterranean Upriser, Grindix (which I personally think is one of THE funniest names ever for a giant phallic thing that comes out out of the ground at you) utterly whipped the snot out of Aquosia. Then, I got to watch a match between Incinerus and Grindix again, with Incinerus winning this time.
Both times, I had questions during the game, and while I hate interrupting people on Vassal, everyone was VERY nice and open to my questions.
Communites make or break a game, and thus far, my experience has been great!
Now, I have to figure out how to get to my local shop to play sealed on the 9th... which is my daughter's birthday... and family is in town... hm, where is that Green Fury Van when you need it!?
PS - these dudes are REALLY cool looking:
