Cyberboard Gamebox Module for Empires of the Middle Ages

The folks at Limey Yank Games have added a module for Empires of the Middle Ages from SPI. Cyberboard is a Windows game engine, created by Dale Larson, for building and playing online adaptations of board games and war games via Play By EMail (PBEM). Cyberboard is very popular among wargamers for PBEM. Compared to the other PBEM game engines, creating Cyberboard 'gameboxes' is more involved than for ZunTzu, but less technical than for Vassal.
