On a related note, does anyone know of a Javascript/Typescript library (or framework) for doing hex-based wargaming on the web platform? Something that draws the maps, allows the user to give orders and move the units around, and resolves combat etc?

Vassal is not exactly what you are asking for (not web based for example) and it does not generate maps or counters, you have to create your own and import them. But it does allow players to share a screen, move counters, and play a game over internet. This is known by most wargamers, so my apologies if I am pointing out the obvious,.

It wasn't known to me. It is now, thanks!
