Has anyone used one of the above PBEM/live board game systems to run a miniature campaign? I was thinking of using the map to do the moves and resolve the battles on the table top. |

Unless there is a lot of movement it might be overkill, a camera and a paper map with might be enough. Vassal is a great program though and could handle more intricate interactions. |

I refought the Peninsular War using the Tomb for an Empire VASSAL module: link I'm planning on doing the same for Caesar's Gallic War very soon. |

I did some research about using Vassal/Cyberboard or computer moderated rules, for a tabletop campaign. In my blog I give an overview of useful boardgames and campaign managers: amsterdam6shooters.nl/node/1310 Didn't know Empire. I'll check the link. |
