Notes on the Vassal Module for Paper Wars' Gallipoli

Gallipoli includes three maps:  one for the naval game and two for sectors in the land campaign. It was not feasible to include all three in one board. The naval map is the main map that appears when you first open the module. To see the Suvla Bay or Cape Helles land map, click on its button in the toolbar.  Note that each map window has a few controls that apply only to that board, but many key tools appear only on the main (naval) map.

The pieces incorporate all changes called for by the errata.

All ships are separate counters rather than some being printed on the flipside of others.

The scenario instructions for the naval variants call for some missing ships to be represented by similar ships in the countermix. For what it's worth, the module adds separate counters for these ships.

The module also adds counters for the optional Turkish torpedo boats and for the semi-optional Turkish emplaced torpedo tubes.

For convenience, the module adds markers for naval bombardments.

In the original game minefields are recorded secretly by the Turkish player on a piece of paper. As an alternative, The module adds Minefield counters that can be made invisible to the Allied player (for details, see http://www.vassalengine.org/wiki/Hideable).

Similarly, all of the Turkish batteries can be made invisible so that they can be deployed on the map rather than having their locations recorded secretly.

Rather than keeping track of ammunition on a sheet of paper, you can use a Turkish fort ammo counter at each facility. Click on the up arrow to adjust the value up, and click on the down arrow to adjust it down. These pieces can also be made invisible to the Allied player.

Similar counters exist to keep track of Turkish battery ammo on the Europeand and Asian sides of the Straights. These work the same way as the fort ammo counters.

All three maps have the Vassal line-of-sight feature accessible from the toolbar.  Click on the "Check LoS" button.  Then, left-click on the firing unit and drag to the target.  The line of sight will appear as a red line, and the range will display above the target hex.  Click anywhere on the map to turn off LoS.
