Default TFT on Virtual Tabletops

Over in another thread, ColinK brought up this topic:

Have any of you played MELEE or WIZARD over an online tabletop?

My brother in Spokane and I in Fall City have tried one, hoping to start up a DEATH TEST or similarly structured MicroQuest.

The system we used already has MELEE and WIZARD setup. I was able to add counters, maps, etc. Kind of made the game into work, but we could see where more familiarity would make the experience better.
I'm very enamored of the idea of playing boardgames and RPGs on a "virtual tabletop" from my iPad or computer. I've backed a number of Kickstarters for this, but I've never really been able to make it work for me.

Hav any of you done this with Melee/Wizard at all? If so, I'd like to know about the systems you used and their features/availability. For my own purposes, something on iOS platform would be ideal, but I'm up for discusson here of anything that works for you.

Do you use these simply to replace map and counters for face to face gaming or are there systems that can be set up to track the status of characters, roll dice, allow in-game communication, handle multi-player plus gamemaster interaction online, support multiple mapboards and counter sets provded by the gamemaster, handle hidden movement, support sound, etc?

Links, please, to anything here you've found useful. Share what you know and maybe we can find a platform that will let us pool resources to create support for a virtual Melee/Wizard/TFT experience.
