I was wondering if anyone had heard of the VASSAL engine that was designed for advanced squad leader but it has been addapted to the EIA. It is free but needs someone to tweek it. It would be a good hold over till this game actually arrives. Not sure the web address. Just do a search on VASSAL or VASL.

There is already a cyberboard module which looks good. Not sure what extra Vassal would offer?

It's a means to play boardgames by email or solo on the computer screen and free. A sort of poor mans ADC but with excellent features and simpler to use.

well it's there http://www.vassalengine.org/modulesNoFrames.php - but as you can see the EiA module is still in development, and likely never to be finished IMHO

This is correct but the guy who started it has a good beggining and wants anyone to help him finish it. It looks pretty good though.
