Getting comfortable with Vassal - Playing Battle for Moscow solitaire

Description provided by Nathan Wailes Gaming on YouTube:

I've been procrastinating for a long time about playing games solitaire using Vassal (or even using Vassal for opposed PBEM games), so I've made a decision to start playing through very simple games first to build up some momentum that I can then use to jump into the games I'm more interested in. This was a great experience, I highly recommend using this game as your first "serious" solitaire game with Vassal (after trying something simple like Tic-Tac-Toe). I got intimately familiar with the game mechanics (especially the CRT and rules around zones of control) in a way that I never did while playing the automated online version at oberlabs.com. I was surprised at how much I was able to enjoy playing both sides, fully immersing myself in each side as I played it without secretly identifying with the other side, and that I unintentionally blundered for both sides on several occasions, only noticing the blunders once I started playing as the opposite side.
