Default Play By Forum BattleCON Anyone?

So I've been getting pretty interested in BattleCON, a card game that emulates the 2D fighting genre games like Street Fighter II and Mortal Kombat. The game is very simple to learn but a pretty steep difficulty level for competence due to the huge variety of moves and understanding your opponent's options is a key point to winning.

I'd like to try running a few games with play by forum, using the 9 free print-and-play characters. For an example on what play by forum looks like for this game, check here.

The rules and the print-and-play characters can be found here. Download the Battlecon Print and Play Version, the Devastation of Indines Preview, Web Rulebook and the Bonus Print and Play - Seth Cremmul. Because this is a perfect information game nothing needs to be printed out on paper, you can play just using the pdfs and referring to the game state.

I'll work as the judge: players submit their moves to me and I'll do all resolutions. The first few games might be a little rough without understanding how the mechanics fit together but it's worth it once it all clicks.

I'd recommend just giving it a shot, they've got a rough but playable iOS version out and in the future might have an Android version. So, who's interested?

That example battle is in the making. Nice.

Quite the learning curve. I'll take Flarechild. ^.^ Who wants to get burned?

Also related to online board top gaming, I think it was 3v that pointed out VASSAL for playing games, such as Betrayal. I believe this will help me both speed up the game, and not inherently know what is possible to happen, as I can keep the decks hidden from myself.

Edit: BattleCON

Yeah, there was a completed battle I found in a forum a while back but I couldn't find it again. Showing a turn or two I thought would be enough.

I should have thought to look for a Vassal module. I'd be up to try facing you with that if nobody else wants to try a forum game.
