Does anyone ever play SBG on Vassal?

I've played a ton of 40k on there and think SBG would work really well on it.

What is Vassal?

It's an online program to simulate tabletop games. Google vassal engine and you'll find it.

It's pretty popular for war hammer 40k and war machine/hordes.

I doubt GW/new line would tolerate Tolkien sprites, but you could proxy very easily with the 40k module.

60% of the experience for me is the plastic and terrain on the board. If you removed that, I might as well play a video game!

It's not for me, and I never could get vassal to work anyway.

For the record I have never played Vassal but have just had a look and it looks great for testing 40k.

I think it would be positive for LOTR/Hobbit SBG community. The main problems I see:
- Vassal looks very complex and not easy for a beginner to pick up
- As far as I know there isn't any LOTR content. It would require someone to create/proxy an entire game.
- I have no idea if the rules are compatible to the software
- Licensing issues as you said

If someone was to make it I would play but it seems highly unlikely. So unless you have somebody to create the LOTR content it's a no go

Well, if anyone wants to try a game on vassal using "converted" 40k sprites, shoot me a PM
