When you say you "went in an removed ..." I assume you mean that you went into the Vassal module editor and removed the items. That just removes the references, but any images (where the bulk of the space is used) that were previously included in the module are still in the module file. At the present, the only way to get rid of no longer needed images is to open the module file with a zip utility and manually delete the superfluous image files. There are some plans to change this or at least provide tools to handle this operation, but I'm not sure at what stage those plans are right now. > > The old version (with the extra cards/board) = 30826kb > The new version (minus the cards/board) = 30889kb > > How did this go up?
