WiF for VASSAL

I've seen a lot of discussion lately about PBEM WiF using Cyberboard, IM etc. and I thought I would throw my two cents in about VASSAL.
If you follow the Yahoo group you've probably already seen this, but I've been working on a WiF module for VASSAL to allow multiple people to play WiF in real time over the internet. It's a pretty tedious project because VASSAL doesn't like large images so the maps aren't as good as I would like them (unless you get zoomed in) also there are so many counters that have to be placed into the module one at a time. But I am happy to say that it is playable at this point, if only the Barbarossa scenario, and it does work.
My issue right now is a matter of copyright so it hasn't left the confines of my computer and only my wife and kid have seen it. If I can get over that hurdle I will be happy to share this with any and everyone. Just wanted to put this out there for any that might be interested.

If you are worried about copyright I'd recommend you contact Harry. They might even be interested to support a vassal (haven't used it yet myself, only took a peek a while ago for another game) based version of the game.

I don't think I still have his email, but you should find him via the ADG website.

I contacted Harry and he gave me permission to go ahead. I'll post again when I have something available for download.
