OT playing your old board games online
 
If you've ever played Advanced Squad Leader or any games like that... check out this site...

I might be able to use it for TWL 2000

Aaaw sweet, man! Just imagine building a ton of scenarios from the modules!!!
That would be so cool! Round based, Hex-Maps... sorry, i just shat myself..
A "Total War"-style T2k-Game (tactical battles, diplomacy, spys, building up defensiv positions for your settlements, etc.) on a board.
Whats not to like about THAT ?!:)

Best part is you can play online with other players...

There's also Cyberboard, which is for email games only. Vassal can work both email and online.

An important caveat is that you need to own the games in question, the programs are only maps and counters and some charts. They are "dumb"-- they cannot interpret the rules, so you can move your 4-movement point unit 18 hexes if you like. If your opponent doesn't catch it, you can cheat real easy. OTOH, he can see your moves as they go, and call you on it.

I'm in a 3-year old game of Federation & Empire on CB, a 2-month game of GDW's Assault on Vassal, and about to start another Europa game on JET. I've played Flattop, GDW's Third World War, and some others on CB.

Thanks for all the links guys. I had CB some years ago and lost it in a crash. Out of sight-out of mind. But NOW I can get it back.
