3 1/8/2025 3:33:00 PM Spring 1861 Confederate Message Hi Roderick - yes I use both Vassal and cyberboard (though not very often cyberboard these days). I am OK to exchange move files after every move. I am going to be a bit slow I think, quite a few games have kicked off at the same time, I have 2xFTP, 1xPoG, 1xIoG and 1xShifht Sands (running for a while)

2 1/8/2025 2:42:00 PM Spring 1861 Union Message Hello Philip,

Do you use either Cyberboard or Vassal? with or without dropbox?

I tend to exchange files after every turn, but am flexible if you would like more frequent.

Good Luck to you, and are you campaigning?
