Re: (TFT) Cyberboard usability with TFT

["Cris Fuhrman" <fuhrmanator@gmail.com>]

Hi Charles,

I had a look at Vassal and it looks promising. With Google, I found that
someone has already embarked on a Melee module for Vassal, but I don't think
it was finished. http://www.milwaukeeanimation.com/melee/property_sheet.html

Anyway, I would prefer not to reinvent any wheels - I wrote to the author on
the page listed above to ask him if he ever finished his module and/or if he
would share it. There's some interesting advice on that page if ever the
module wasn't available and one wanted to do it from scratch.
