For some reason I've been in the mood lately to play some fantasy miniature wargame. I've never played one online before, but in my day I did play the usual suspects like Warhammer, Confrontation, essentially wargames where you build an army / skirmish party via point lists and then battle another player with an army of roughly equal points.
So that is what I'm looking for. A quick search for AAA titles did not turn up many results, the unfinished Mordheim Early Access game is actually pretty much the only game I could find. Delving deeper I did find a couple Indie games that don't appear to have sold many copies to begin with and don't show much recent activity - if any at all - which indicates no active player base.
I am aware that there are programs like the Vassal Engine that let you play these type of games, but I'm not familiar with them in the sense that I don't know which program is the popular one or if there is actually one with a decent amount of activity.
So my question would probably rather be if there actually is any active AAA or Indie game that suits my needs out there?
And if not is there a "go to" substitute like the Vassal engine where all the cool kids hang out?
Failing both these options, let's drop the fantasy part. Any multiplayer Medieval/Sci-Fi/WWII/Historical/Modern turn based, point based wargame you can recommend?
