Hi Thorlungus, I just got into Vassal & Cyberboard within the last couple of months, and have uploaded a lot of old games I had that were getting ragged or had lost counters, torn maps..whatever. I've been playing "Cry Havoc" alot…I had no idea of the number of variants out there! I like Vassal/Cyboard because not only does it save space, but you can modify or make new counters and maps in paint programs, and you don't have to worry about how best to mount them and cut them out. Sorry I don't have anything to help you out with on CC ZAncients though. Tried Googling? I wish there was a separate board for boardgames, but suggesting a new borad will only create another  storm. |

But there is already a separate TMP boardgame board: TMP link |

@mkern.. did you find it easy or challenging to get started with vassal, tried years ago but gave up maybe easier now |

Thorlunghus,
I had trouble finding the TMP boardgame board when I last tried. Vassal doesn't seem too user friendly at first, but if I could figure it out, you should be able to. :-) |
