Bloody Barons Online

[Sumo]

Has anyone done anything about playing BB online?

Vassal perhaps?

I am building something but wondered if I was alone.

Hello Mike

Good post.
BB should be very easy as there are only 16 zones in total and the troops tend to move as a unified blob.
There is something called "tabletop simulator " but I have not looked into it yet.

I did try a sort of remote game but thre was little interest.
Maybe folk are waiting for end of May and then game every night?

Martin,

Should help a bit... can run on a platform like STEAM which allows multi player, or not.

TTS was my weapon of choice. I have built a basic module that allows for online play as long as both players have the rules, which of course we do.

Yes, I think a lot of people are waiting but I miss my miniatures games.

I attach a picture of the battlefield, gridded if you look carefully.

It will be a little lighter once I have tweaked it.

On TTS in general, I have climbed the learning curve and it was not easy. Probably 50 hours to this point.

The main issue is the lack of support, but that is provided on youtube and elsewhere.

It looks like it has been designed on a Commodore Amiga, c 1995.

It is quirky and a bit unstable.

But... once you breakthrough it does some remarkable stuff, and I haven't even written one line of code.

My conclusion is that it is way, way better at gridded designs (my preference by a long chalk) than games that still use wheeling and facing.

Overall, impressed. We are testing on Thursday. 

If successful I will have a sudden demand for top down photos of PP troops!
