Might be a bit biased, I helped playtest that one.

Well, that's full disclosure. Can you tell us what you thought of it?

I'd love to try an honest to goodness game of Dirtside II online, if I could find a way to make it work. I guess I'll have to give VASSAL a more thorough peek.

Your maximum range is the entire board! Bring or build many terrain pieces.

Well, I am writing something I can't talk about for them (it's hung up in playtest heck). But it's finally moving along. I also have some author credit in another to be released item that HAS been announced

I did write some of the fluff for TW as well, so I am biased there. Best I can say is it's a good system and I wouldn't add my name to something I didn't like. But try it yourself. I think you will find you like it.
