bonjour
Windows 10, 8 Go RAM, Vassal 3.6.9, Java 8
Module Russian Front https://obj.vassalengine.org/images/c/cf/RFTv20b30.vmod does not work
Other versions yes
The Windows package of Vassal has Java bundled with it. If you have the Windows package installed, you’re not using Java 8. (If you’re not using the Windows package and you’re trying to run Vassal with Java 8, that’s why it’s not working—there’s no way it could even start.)
What specifically does not work?
I can’t have the map with this version 2.0b30 (no problem with 2.2.1)
And no problem with all other games
There’s a stack trace in that dialog if you expand it. That’s the information we need. Please paste it here. (You can find the same information in the errorLog).

First comment on the module page:
Russian Front (TAHGC) See Version History for details. The RFT.vmod file is the standard game. The RFT_E.vmod file has the unofficial map extensions. the RFTv20b30.mod file is for use with VASSAL 2.99.
You will need to install an ancient version of Vassal to run an ancient module like that.
OK
thank you very much
but if I install Vassal 2.99 (I don’t know if I can), Vassal 3.6.10 is still fonctional ?
If you do a custom install, you can avoid overwriting the existing version of VASSAL; then you just run the .exe from the appropriate directory. Note that for any version before 3.3, you will also need to ensure you have an appropriate version of the Java JRE installed; I believe version 8 (AKA 1.8) should work for all older versions of VASSAL.
I have another problem with Russian Front 2.2.1 : I can’t move minefield and factory, they stay on the map
This is usually an instance of a designer using the Does Not Stack trait on pieces and requiring the user to hold down a key (Alt, Shift, or Ctrl) in order for a unit to be selected first so it can be moved.
