Hey, I just learned to use vassal, just wondering if anyone else uses it.

The Vassal module for 40K is great. I've used it a lot. I've also tried the Battlefleet Gothic one, Advanced Squad Leader (VASL), a Star Wars minis module, an old Victory Games wargame - Vietnam 1965-1975, and one for the Battlestar Galactica boardgame. All of these were fully developed and quite good.
I've seen attempts at a Fantasy module, but cannot find one that is functional. I think a German messageboard is working on one currently. Apparently getting the pieces to move and wheel as a formation is the stumbling block in Vassal.
True line of sight takes a bit of a hit in the 40K module though. It's top-down only so worked better with 4th edition rules. The sprites are a bit dated and some units are missing from newer codexes (codicies?), but that can be easily proxied. Easily played on their server, peer-to-peer, or by email.
