Vassal: The board game emulator.

[Uberman77883]

Vassal is a java program that allows modules that are similar to tabletop games (Warhammer 40k, Fantasy, Axis and Allies etc...)

Copypasta

The VASSAL Engine is a game engine for building and playing online adaptations of board games, tabletop games and card games. It allows users to play in real time over a live internet connection (in addition to playing by email (PbeM)). It runs on all platforms, and is free for personal use. For example, there is a Star Wars Miniatures module, where players can play with up to three others in a digital replica of the table-top game.
It is written in Java and is available from SourceForge under the LGPL open source license.

Here are a few examples of some modules that can be played (there are lots more)

Tabletops:

V40k a Warhammer 40k Module Perhaps the most played module now.[2]
--in September, 2008 Games Workshop issued a cease-and-desist order to Tim Davis, the maker of V40k [3]
Battlefleet Gothic
Mordheim
Star Wars Tactics
Warmachine / Hordes

Boardgames:

Diplomacy (game)
HeroQuest
Space Hulk
Shadows over Camelot
Illuminati (boardgame)
Memoir 44

Card Games:

Playing Cards
Bridge/Hearts

Some screenshots of various modules.

No Subbuteo?
Awwww.

[cheesedelux]

Looks very interesting. Is there anywhere to download V40k which isn't TPB? I have quite a trigger happy ISP...

[Uberman77883]

Unfortunately, GW told the devs of V40K to shut down, but the community is distributing a saved copy.

The TPB link is the last living copy of V40K on the internet. People still have it of course.

Give more module links

[hey5000]

I would end up being embarrassed playing somebody in Axis vs. Allies online. :/

Unless you have a codex/rulebook for every module, I doubt you want them.

This does not automate anything except dice rolls.

I just want a fucking link to play BFG with friends. The codexes are free.

TPB isn't illegal.

[Faren]

True, but some ISPs apparently treat anything you download off of TPB as illegal and get you into shit.

[mastermaul]

I need to learn240k so I can play it on vassal.

Get a new ISP.

Meant to quote this.

It's not my ISP that does that.

Anyway, going on the assumption that he is a teen(like most people on Facepunch), he can't just change his ISP because that's up to his parents. I doubt his parents would switch ISPs just so he could use TPB, even if they actually did understand what he was talking about.

[deathrat]

If you think your ISP will freak out, you could just use a torrent client that has protocol encryption.

[WTF Nuke]

NOOOO THE TORRENT WONT LOAD!!! Can someone make a mediafire or rapid share or something? Unless it's version 3.5.5, which is available here: [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?df4ygbgbxvx[/url]

Edit: Nevermind if you guys need a mediafire of v5 here it is [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?uxtxjz5hjym[/url]

[y3k7]

Does this version of V40K use 4th or 5th edition rules?
