    Wargaming whilst social distancing

    in General Discussions

    If you are still looking for your gaming fix whilst stuck in your house could I suggest you try online gaming.


    Vassal is a great program for playing board games and wargames online. It can be a bit tricky to get your head around at times. But has provided me hundreds of hours of entertainment. They have hundreds of games available, the wargames tend to be the hex and counter type.


    All you need to do is download the vassal engine and add any games (called modules in vassal) you would like to try.

    To get the full social aspect try discord as your chat software (Skype works too). If enough are interested I’d be happy to set up a WWS server for you all to use.

    Happy to help set people up if they are struggling.


    There are also a load of online versions of games you could also try. Field of glory, axis and allies and the total war series to name just a few.

    Phil.

    For those of you who have Steam accounts, TableTop Simulator is on half price sale ATM - £7.50. Just over 40 games with 'official' downloadable content, but thousands of user generated files to get you up and running, including Bolt Action and Battletech (I've only browsed A-B so far!).

    I too can recommend tabletop simulator. Just watch out for the table flip feature.

    These are some shots of just a few of the games I played on tabletop Simulator over the last 18 months. I know it does not beat face to face but your figures and terrain take up a lot less room 😁

    And it's great for trying out a ruleset before you commit to painting an army
