061211: Version 2.0 (Brent Easton, Jeff Wise, Bill Thomson); The earlier version used a beta component called Autoimages to generate the counters. As VASSAL evolved, Autoimages was obsolete and replaced with a GamePieceImages whose principle benefit is stability. Unfortunately, all the images created, which fully populated the OOBs disappeared. These have been regenerated. RFT has units with unique ids. Consistent with the WGA VASSAL Template standard, units cannot be cloned or deleted, and there is no counter template. Units are either on the map, on the OOB, in the eliminated pile, or in the replacement pile. The populated OOB is on the start files.

050728: Version 1.0 Initial Release (Brent Easton, Jeff Wise, Bill Thomson). RFT is the template for all future Wargame Academy Vassal modules enhancements and creations. This includes: Movement Trials, Secondary Maps, Autoimages, Prototypes, extensive html Help files, and an illustrated Novice Vassal Users Guide.
