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!

Module updated (generals and commanders revamped and some inconsistencies cleaned up). Available here.

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