Let’s start with, what is Vassal?

Quote from the Vassal site.

“VASSAL is an engine for building and playing Internet-capable versions of turn-based, human-vs-human games. Players move and manipulate game pieces via the mouse while typing accompanying text. Moves can be recorded into a log file and stepped through one at a time for email play. During live Internet play, all moves and text are automatically broadcast to other players in real time. Combining a live VASSAL session with a third-party Internet voice-chat tool (such as NetMeeting or TeamSpeak) allows you to play with people around the world at very close to face-to-face pace. It runs on all platforms, and is free for personal use”

I’m not expert with Vassal, heck, I’ve only been using it for about a week but I have had the opportunity to actually play a few games and I’m impressed. If you’re a board gaming guru but can’t find people in your area to play with, Vassal might be for you.

Just a sample of some popular and/classic board games and RPG’s that you can play on Vassal:
BattleLore
Blue Max
Carcassonne
Carrier
Demonlord
Euphrat & Tigris
Flight Leader
G.I.JOE TCG
HeroQuest
Lord of the Rings Battlegame
Memoir '44
Shadows over Camelot v3.9
STAR WARS Miniatures Skirmish Game
Stratego
Warrior Knights
Zombies!!!

Sorry for the double-post; Vassal has a Monsterpocalypse module and an Okko module! Vassal is a great way to game with fellow Wartubers and a fun way to pass the time when you're not slaving away on those primed models!
