Gary Barr said… Hi
Funnily enough I have just tried out Vassal after years of having on PC and whilst it does not compare to ftf play it is an avenue to play games I would not have otherwise. I have an ongoing Pbem but yet to try realtime (too hard to get convenient time slots).
Way too many games way too little time :-)
Cheers

- I have just been re-bitten by the board Wargaming bug after about 10 or so years away and trying to accumulate collection of some of the very interesting games I have missed out on.
Cheers
