Battle Program

[kolvar]

I am planning on doing a large scale battle with some folks on the internet. I want to load up the maps of the progress, that everyone can invision what stupid things the already did. I am looking for a program, that allows to place lots of "counters", allows to turn and move them and is cheap (i.e. free). Does anybody know of such a program?
(oh, and I do not have super-computer (i.e. doing it with gimp and layers is rather cumberson), and before I forgett: Windows and Linux are available)

I was thinking more on the line of 500 Counters. Koogeworks seems not the thing for what I intend. Well, will have to take a look elsewhere. thanks nonetheless

There's no program out there that is going to handle 500+ combatants for an online game.

I'm wondering why you're going to do it that way rather than using some mass battle rules (Cry Havoc from Malhavoc being my favorite) to keep things more manageable?

Hmm, looks like you need wargame-grade software... Does it need to be real-time? There are a lot of PBEM options. For example, there's Aide de Camp 2.

For more examples, see the Web Grognards (bottom of page).

More Fun? We had lots of fun with the old Battlesystem Rules and somehow it is just great to push counters.
