Roland,
Take a look at http://vasl.org. There is an "engine" called VASSAL and a
"module" for ASL (or VASL "Virtual ASL"). Follow the instructions on the
vasl.org website.
You install the latest version of Java desktop.
You install VASSAL.
You download VASL
Download the Maps
Download the Scenarios
The run VASSAL and load the VASL module.
You will be able to setup geomorphic or campaign maps on your computer
screen. You and an opponent can move counters on the map and you will both
see the moving counters. There is a text window to type messages in to
"talk" to your opponent, or you can use one of the internet voice programs.
Its almost like playing face to face - the interface is a little "quirky",
but once you get used to it you can play people from all over the world. Any
time of the night or day.
You can also play by "email". You record your moves using VASL and send the
log file to your opponent.
