As an old wargaming geek who's always been disappointed that the never translated well to the electronic medium, this looks pretty exciting. I can't wait to spend some quality time digging into it more.

It's amazingly impressive that they took on ASL as a first target and didn't give up before completing that beast of a rule set.

There is very little "rule set" in Vassal. Essentially it is a configurable electronic board; rules are enforced by the players, not by the platform.
