Well, I was just trying to be positive about Zuntzu, and keeping with its design philosophy of duplicating the boardgame experience, and the simplicity of the set up of games. Vassal is quite a different approach, and much more time consuming to set up (as far as I can see)

How does a board game have counters with 3 or 4 sides to them? A unit can be represented by more than one counter in some games (eg, Decision in France, Operation Husky Sicile 1943). One of the horrible limitations in older board games in particular was the absence of step losses (eg, the typical o...

Is there a ZunTzu Manual

Is there a manual for ZunTzu? There are clearly more commands etc available than are shown in the tutorial in the Support section.
