This is a good one and to be honest Im not quite certain of the experience. On the host's side of things it the experience will be much better..... assuming he/she has all the miniatures needed. On the guest side of things all you have is a screen to play.
Very difficult to work it out, but Im certain it could be done, but should it? The experience will quite different.

Paul: Thursday nights were the gaming highlight of the week. Everyone would arrive, opponents ready for battle, the hubbub of banter going on all night. Suddenly it’s stopped, no more Thursday night club battles. In these strange times, how can we still game in safety?
We chat over the internet, webcams are available everywhere, we watch streamed games, so it got me thinking – could you play a game remotely? From the other end of an internet connection? I dug out my webcam, which had been sat for many years on a shelf unused since most laptops these days have them built-in. I dusted it off and plugged it in.
I am very lucky to have a dedicated gaming room, with some nice custom-made gaming tables, and I found that, with a bit of perseverance and some improvisation, it is possible to have a game over a web connection. You could just as easily set up on your dining room table or other space in the house – it was actually much simpler than I had first thought.
What do you need? Well, firstly a laptop, (a desktop might work if it’s near your gaming table), a webcam, and a willing opponent! Next, work out where you are going to place your webcam, it needs to be high up, so a shelf or similar nearby works perfectly. For me, I used some boxes of models that I hadn’t quite had time to build yet to move the camera as high as I could, so it got a good ‘overhead’ view of the table. You might also need a USB extension cable depending on how long your webcam USB cable is.
Both you and your opponent then will have to connect via one of the many social apps/services available. Most offer a good view of your webcam, so pick one that works best for you. Also, one of you is going to need two armies for you to use, or at the very least something that will approximate your opponent’s army without too much confusion.
My first game was against my brother, Rich. I used Seraphon, and Rich used Sylvaneth. We found that, with good communication between both of you, the game is great fun and very playable. Some tips I would have are:
The game isn’t going to be perfect, so make allowances. The movement of models is down to the host, so always be clear about where models are (if you’re hosting) or where you want them to be (if you’re calling in)
For example, most people will charge in such a way to avoid dragging other nearby units within 3” into combat, so move their models accordingly unless they’ve specified otherwise. Trust each other, roll your dice individually and just trust your opponent to be fair. It’s a fun game to try to get your hobby fix in – play nice.
One of you is doing all the movement, and communicating is a bit harder, so allow for that. Maybe even plan the game to last two nights if it’s possible to leave it set up.
