Here is an overview of my VASSAL module for Optio, available for download here.

I've spend some time streamlining the module for gameplay. The module has these armies:

  • Early Rome
  • Hoplite Greece
  • Macedonia
  • Achaemenid Persia
  • Seleucid Empire
  • Republican Rome
  • Late Carthage
  • Numidia
  • Spain
  • Gaul

Also completing the terrain. Terrain now comprises:

  • Hill segments
  • Large river (with/without ford)
  • Small river
  • Stream
  • Sea
  • Wood
  • Scrub
  • Treacherous marsh
  • Easy Marsh
  • Broken ground
  • Ploughed land
  • Vineyard
  • Unfortified camp
  • Fortified camp

Enjoy!

Bolingar, you made this, and are offering it for free via Vassal?

I'd call that Optimum!

Anyone interested in giving the system a whirl let me know and I'll send you the ruleset.
