Notes on the Vassal Module for The Battle of the Alma

In the published game routed status was represented by flipping a counter to its blank white side.  The module implements rout as a "R" flag on the counter itself, toggled by pressing Ctrl-R.

Since all attacks must be declared in advance, you can flag a charging unit by selecting the counter and pressing Ctrl-C.  The Charge marker can be rotated via Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right.

Turns are recorded via a Vassal Turn Tracker accessible from the button bar.

The "Counters Ready for Deployment" scenario has the Russians in their fixed setup hexes (except for the four that can be deployed freely) and the Allied divisions stacked in their zones.  Check the rules for precise deployment guidelines.

I have included blank cyan, magenta, and yellow markers for you to use as you please.
