Vassel Alternative

Hello everyone, Been lurking her awhile, now guess time to stop lurking. Has anyone used tabletop simulator to play PG on? I use it as cats and wargames do not really mix.

Attached is a screenshot of tabletop simulator with the 4e Demo scenario on it.

I think Craig J used Steam a while back. I personally never liked the 3-D view simulators for boardgames. So long as it works out.

That looks better than I expected. How fiddly is manipulating stacks of counters? Better or worse than in real life? And is there any sort of action tracking/replay feature like a Vassal logfile?

Counter manipulation is just as fiddly as in real life, (but you cant accidently knock over stacks). There is no log feature implemented. Setting up the game is TS is not difficult. I think it is easier than making a vassal module. But playstyle using TS is very close to real life including having to pick up the dice and actually role them.
