The Optio VASSAL module is available for free (of course). Note that it is 650MB (!). This is because I kept changing the terrain artwork and the problem with VASSAL modules is that once you add anything to a module you can never remove it, even if you delete it and it doesn't appear in the games. The artwork is high resolution (only the best) so that clocked up the metabytage quite considerable over time. 650MB is still peanuts in the world of PC gaming and the size of the module won't affect your PC's ability to run it.
Note also that the module is WIP and will probably (will definitely) undergo revisions in the future. The module covers the Mediterranean area from about 500BC to 150BC and has 10 armies:
Early Roman Republican Roman Gallic Spanish Numidian Later Carthaginian Later Hoplite Greek Macedonian Achaemenid Persian Seleucid
So expect more modules in the future covering other eras and armies
Those interested in the module please contact me.

Update: after enquiring on the VASSAL forum, I downloaded the latest version of VASSAL and was able to remove all unused images in the module. File size is now 347MB.

Hi, please send me the Vassal module. Will do. I'm just finishing a user guide and I'll send both to you. Are you familiar with VASSAL?

I've now incorporated the Optio user guide into the VASSAL module itself.
