We'll set up <em>The Streets Of Stalingrad</em>, and the scenario card tells us that this is played on Board 1, so fire up VASL, add this board, then save the scenario somewhere (e.g. <tt>streets-of-stalingrad.vsav</tt>).
In <em>vasl-templates</em>, open the save file for this scenario (<tt>The Streets Of Stalingrad (Scenario C).json</tt>; you'll find it in the <tt>examples/</tt> directory).
<p> Browse through the tabs, and you'll see all the scenario details e.g. Victory Conditions, SSR's, setup instructions. The program also shows the latest results from <ahref="http://www.jrvdev.com/ROAR/VER1/RecordByName.asp">ROAR</a>.
We now want to create labels in the VASL scenario for all this information. Choose <em>Update VASL scenario</em> from the menu, and select the VASL scenario file you created earlier (e.g. <tt>streets-of-stalingrad.vsav</tt>). The program will now launch VASSAL to do the work, so be patient since it may take a minute or two, and you may see VASSAL momentarily appear on-screen.
<p> Once it's done, save the updated <tt>.vsav</tt> file somewhere. Go back to VASSAL, open the updated <tt>.vsav</tt> file, and you will see all the labels with the scenario information: <br>
We can pretty-up the labels by including pictures in them. Open the <em>User Settings</em> dialog and turn on <em>Images in scenarios</em>.
<p> Update the VASL scenario again (as above), open it again in VASSAL, and you will see that the labels now include nationality flags, and the vehicle data tables show the counter images: <br>
<divclass="warning"> If you turn this option on, you must choose where VASSAL will get the images from:
<ul>
<li><spanstyle="border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;">From this program</span>: the <em>vasl-templates</em> program must be running before you open the scenario in VASSAL. If you are playing with someone online, they must have the program running as well.
<li><spanstyle="border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;">From the internet</span>: you must have a working internet connection when you open the scenario in VASSAL. There will be a short delay when opening the scenario, as VASSAL downloads the images.
<ahref="https://vasl-templates.org"><em>VASL Templates</em></a> makes it easy to set up attractive <ahref="http://vasl.info">VASL</a> scenarios, with loads of useful information embedded to assist with game play.
<p> We'll show how by walking through a setup of everyone's favorite scenario, <em>Hill 621</em>. Click on the screenshot to the right to see the finished scenario.
