Oops, sorry Vince. I obviously didn't read Paul's posting accurately enough.

Well stay around and try to get yourself to download VASSAL and you can join in the fun.

Paul, if you want to get into playing CCN (and CCA) over the internet, in real time, I suggest you go to www.vassal.org , download the Vassal game engine itself, and then download the relevant modules. It's all free. Once done, you can either play offline on your own pc, or go online and play against real opponents anywhere in the world. You can also watch other players play a game as an observer.

BTW, ftf is face-to-face.

Tony

See above, ftf means face-to-face. BTW is by the way.
For Skype, you need to download it from the internet. Again, it's free, so no worries there.

Thanks now i get it. So with Skype can this involve playing with a physical boards? Do you know of players communicating actions,dice results,card draws online or via Skype and translating this all onto a physical board in front of them? Like chess players kind of do?

I am hoping to get some time to start playing online again after a very very long break. I need to update my vassal to the newest version. Hopefully we'll see some folks on line.

No, no physical boards. Look, go to www.Vassal.org , download the Vassal game engine, and then look through all the modules for CCN. You'll then see that everything is played with maps, units and die rolls on the computer. Skype is like a free telephone or video call via the pc that let's you talk to each other whilst you play. It's not absolutely necessary, but we find it more sociable.
