I had a pleasure to introduce recently another player to the great world of Imperial Struggle — Marek. A long time veteran of Twilight Struggle longing to familiarize himself with the newest creation of Ananda Gupta and Jason Matthews.
But the problem immediately arouse — due to pandemic there was no option for us to meet live. From that time on online option was the only way. As I am a big fan of Vassal and Marek loves to use Tabletop Simulator we agreed that that our initial, introductory games we will play on both platforms and then choose one.
When the actual intro is concerned, the plan was to play First Peace turn and first war War of Spanish Succession — that already gives a good overview to the new players.
The Vassal Engine is a game engine for building and playing online adaptations of board games, tabletop games and card games. It allows users to play in real time over a live Internet connection, and also by email PbeM. It runs on all platforms, and is free, open-source software. Let me present the main features of the tool using picture-rich composition:. I was playing British while Marek took French I think much more straightforward for the training purposes.
There is simply no way for a new player to win with somebody who has couple of games under his belt. Tabletop Simulator is an independent video game that allows players to play and create tabletop games in a multiplayer physics sandbox.
Developed by Berserk Games as their first title, after a successful crowdfunding campaign in February the game was released in June of the following year. In our second game we switched sides so Marek has also exposure to British which he took in that test.
I had pleasure to lead French — and as it was some time since last time I played them, it was not so easy:. All the microsoft usual troubleshooting tools and regular Win Update fixes never resolved it for me. I think there must have been a corrupt download at some point blocking any further progress. If you're paranoid backup all the folders in Software Distribution somwhere before going delete happy in there.
You may have your network firewall blocking the update. You can also check and see if it will take a manual install update. There is an update they call the SSU, servicing stack update that must be installed first. But it shows all patches are pending downloads. I tried everything and it did not work out anything.

It might be your antivirus software, your internet browser, or the operating system that generate these warnings. For example, Windows 8 and Windows 10 come with Microsoft Defender and SmartScreen which monitor the websites you are visiting and the software you download. They might issue warnings about certain application files. Unfortunately, this happens mostly for the software of small developers as their software applications are not so frequently used as the software of the big software developers.
If you receive such a warning from your internet browser Mozilla Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge or by your antivirus software, you have to decide if this a " false positive " false alarm or a true threat.
If the warning message has the name of a specific virus, then you should probably not proceed. If the name of the virus contains the word "generic" then probably this is a guess from the antivirus program and is possibly a false positive. For example, when a user clicks on the Download button of our screensaver for Windows, the download starts and a warning might appear:. Microsoft Edge does not give any more arguments, why this file could harm the computer, and proposes to delete this file.
Going further, after you selected to keep the downloaded software app, Microsoft Defender SmartScreen comes on and might throw the message " This app might harm your device ".
The reason for this warning is that the app is not commonly downloaded or is not signed by its publisher. In our case, we sign our StarMessage Screensaver since the 5.
