D-Day Wargames?

[GJK]

Just noticing this now. I went to the webpage for Wargame Processor, and it doesn't seem to tell me what it is about - is it like VASSAL?

I only just recently stumbled upon this myself Mike and have only tinkered around with it just a bit.  It's somewhat similar to VASSAL yet doesn't rely on Java and also it doesn't support live play.  However it does seem to handle pbem play with a much more thorough turn logging/playback sequence.  There are tools and a support file that goes over the needed steps to using the program and for creating your own modules.

HPS/JTS Panzer Campaigns: Normandy.

I still prefer the V for Victory system, but with this game you can (if you really want to) play the entire D-Day event on all five invasion  beaches.  My failing memory is that  V for Victory didn't include the landings, which are surprisingly interesting. 

The graphics are, of course, horrible, but there are mods (including one of my own) that improve things in the 2D views.

This would be my first choice too.  Especially with aforementioned mods.  O0


Although I think the OP was wanting something RTS or FPS.

Can you import the art assets from a VASSAL mod without a lot of redoing? Does it handle multiple card decks as well?

And, most importantly, is it easier to create a mod for than VASSAL?

I didn't see it mentioned, but Panzer Corps: Allied Corps has a fantastic D-Day scenario, along with a great group of Allied missions within its campaign

Is there a guide for how to create modules? The editor is not too friendly.
