Is there an online version of the Warhammer board game?

I'm looking to getting into the Warhammer game, and there are online versions of Dungeons and Dragons and even Magic: The Gathering. Is there any sort of online adaptation to the Warhammer Board game? I'm not looking for Warhammer Online, the MMORPG.Is there an online version of the Warhammer board game?
Warhammer isn't exactly one of the games you want to play online; its a game that showcases battlefield strategy and incorporates lots of measuring into the game. I know they say football is a game of inches (I know, I played it for years), but Warhammer really IS about the inches (or millimeters for non-US players). Its as much about painting the models as it is playing the game for some people.



D%26amp;D and Magic have online versions of the actual game because the gameplay can be easily simulated. Roleplaying (D%26amp;D) is basically storytelling, so it can even be played over AIM or any other messenger program. Magic's card can be simulated online and "randomized" by a program.



So basically to sum it up, Warhammer has no online equivalent because its not really something that can be easily simulated. Tabletop games are best played there because they really don't work anywhere else.Is there an online version of the Warhammer board game?
It isn't a board game. It's a table-top strategy game involving hand painted models and regiments of troops.

There is a game for the PC called Warhammer: Mark of Chaos. I only played a few maps, but the point structure and basic units are similar to the table-top game.
