I have windows on my phone and just have serious doubts about that working. What you will also have to have is Java.

Vassal is run by Java... So you will need that also on your phone.

I know Javascript can cause a few issues on my Blackberry. I really doubt it, but with phones they have now, you never know.

i believe the DROID (how appropriate!) is the only phone that can use Java... not that i'm a phone expert. my techie co-worker said something about this a few weeks ago.

If you got vassal to work on a phone you would need to carry a microscope with you to make out anything on the screen.
