Is there any sort of Vassal type program for FoW that people use to test out armies?

Thanks!

I have never heard of any but I would give one a try if there was one.

**Inquisitor_Syphonious**

Yup, don't know where it is, though I am positive it exists.

The only thing I found is a try:

As an FYI, I am working on a module for Flames of war currently, and am posting progress at http://vfow.wordpress.com

The module itself is not polished enough to release IMO, but when it is (as well as along the way to that point), I would love to have the thoughts/reviews/suggestions of the FoW players.

I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on this one

**CainTheHunter**

I always thought that World of Tanks was made for that purpose...

Funny you mention that. Actually I had emailed him with the intent of helping him on his project, but I never heard back so I figured it had stalled - so I started from scratch. Then, a few months later after I'm already well on my way with the module, he emails me. (He is pretty busy with RL, and the email slipped which is likely the same reason the module has as well) At any rate, we are currently talking through how we can merge our ideas and collaborate on this.

Yah, that's my project. It was functional, but stalled on all the art creation. Its a massive amount of work to generate all the art you need. Especially since I don't have access to many models. I tried to enlist people to help out but nobody ever came through.
