---- Reported by b.easton@exemail.com.au 2009-06-28 23:56 ----

I know this feature has been requested before, but this has already been coded and implemented into a module by fightingchaos.com 

The developers of the module already built classes for the newest vassal engine. 

This is the link to the source code and documentation: http://fightingchaos.com/vassal/battle/fb_src_and_bin_05.zip 

They released it for anyone to use with no strings attached. 

There are a lot of issues when I try to implement it into my own module. 

So I'm wondering if you can fine tune the code and implement it into your next release? 

Just to make things simple you don't need to implement a pivot point, as long as you can rotate the pieces together than you can just move the group into position. So the center of the stack or just the center of one of the pieces would work.

Retrieved the module and source code to this attachment. It's actually kind of a cool concept. SORT of related to Mats, but different. Kind of Mats-without-a-Mat.
