Has anyone come across a web implimentation of FFW?

I'd love to find something like that.
Sadly, my many projects already under way prevent me from using what tools I can find to do ti myself.

I have been wanting to program this for a long time actually. Unfortunately, my programming skills are rusty, not that good with regards to graphics and my job keeps me from actually working on it. I will take a crack at it soon though.

I even talked with "the Marc" about it once.

I would love something like that. I used to play FFW with my dad, it brings back good memories.

You might have to build it up yourself. Have you heard of Aide de Camp II? It works great for that sort of thing. It would take some work, but it might be the only way to go.

Vassal also does this; someone was working on a vassal module for 5FW...

Sadly, it seems the ADC2 version is gone
Lucky for me the cyberboard version is still there.

Now I ahve to..
a) look into what I need for cyberboard
b) pull out my dead tree version of FFW and do lots o editing to see if this puppy has everything I had hoped for

Thanks for the info!

I don't know if there's now an English-language version of the Cyberboard gamebox for 5FW out and about, but I converted the Japanese version about 5 or 6 years ago (early 2004, I believe) in order to run a double-blind game via e-mail. You'll find my write-ups of the game, with commentary by some of the other players, in the TML archives and here in this forum.

I'm pretty sure I still have the gamebox file squirelled away; PM me with your contact info if you're interested.

FWIW, any publicly accessible interactive play aid of 5FW proper would definitely need Marc Miller's approval, since it's his intellectual property. Historically (pre-Mongoose) that was pretty easy to get; I'm unsure how that would go in the current era.

Cool Beans! Aide de Camp!

------------------Cool beans! I have always dreamed about something like this ever since I learned to program and figured out that I wasn't quite so good at it.

--------------Does it really work?

A little Google fu comes up with a list of GDW's board games:

http://hkl.hpssims.com/Game_Sets/GDW/gdw.htm

Has two implimentations of FFW.

I'm afraid that ADC 2 is a lot more labor intensive than cyber-board. I have both actually starting with ADC2 but changed over as I realised that it was causing me more frustration than gaming time.
