Hi!

I have seen that there are cool games like Interceptor Ace and Western Front Ace from Compass Games. Are they ok with their games being given for free on vassal? t’s not about snitching on anyone, but I only want to use games that are permitted by the rights holder, so this is important to me 🙂 Is there a way to see whicht games on vassal are permitted by the rights holder? Kind regards! Chris

It’s a more appropriate question for the owners of the individual projects, but I can say that Compass does permit modules for their games so long as the full charts and tables are not included.
