16 5/5/2026 4:05:00 PM 218 BC Rome Message here are the instructions I received from another player before installing it:

https://vassalengine.org/
Vassal is an open-source game engine for building and playing online adaptations of board games and card games.

get the version of vassal that works on your PC

Then you need the Hannibal Module
https://vassalengine.org/wiki_old/wiki/Module:Hannibal:_Rome_vs._Carthage

Or there
https://vassalengine.org/wiki/Module:Hannibal:_Rome_vs._Carthage

Module:Hannibal: Rome vs. Carthage
and get this one "Hannibal_Valley_en_1.3.1.vmod"

Once you have those two things downloaded, see if you can get the basic map up and running and then let me know. I'll give you the next steps after that.
15 5/5/2026 3:50:00 PM 218 BC Carthage Message My Cyberboard gamebox is pretty but really hard to read.
What Vassal version are you using? Is it Hannibal_Valley_en_1.31.vmod?

Message from Carthage:
PCs in Numantia, Bilbilis, and Crisa (hard to read the name). I see that there are map differences between the Valley Games edition (on which the latest Vassal module is based) and the Phalanx edition (on which the latest Cyberboard module is based. In the Valley Games edition, Crisa is called Azaila. We shall see if these differences give us trouble.
