I just wish wargameroom would use white backdrops instead of all solids. As it is I prefer playing via Vassal myself. Also it is nice to see the physical cards.
What do you mean by white backdrops?
I'm a HUGE Wargameroom fan, and if I may so I'm one of the regulars. Twilight Struggle is one of the aesthetically best programs on the site. (If you don't believe me look at screenshots of Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage and For the People. Those are also superb programs, but perhaps I don't put as much weight in actually seeing the cards as you do.)
On another note, it is not particularly cumbersome to look at the card text if you don't know the cards. I had to do that with every card when I was learning at least 5 other games on the site.
Wargameroom is also significantly faster than f2f play, allowing more games to be completed and in shorter windows of time. (The speed is the main reason I play on most games that are offered on WGR (not just TS) on Wargameroom rather than VASSAL.
If interested, you can just come onto the WGR chatroom and I'm sure someone (including me) will be happy to show you the ropes.
