So, to sum up, there's no way for Rob to do this, right? I want to add LOS snapping to the Screaming Eagles and Bloody Ridge modules, but I've been baffled as to how to accomplish it. I just joined this group because of this question, and I see right away that Brent is working on making it a standard part of VASSAL! Bravo!
