Let me know when the rules are available.  I would like to get a copy.
 Thank you

Great news, do you have a plan for US distributors?  If not PM me and I know of one who might be interested.

I have to wait until October!  I don't know about that, the Russians and the Chinese want a go at each other.  I am keeping them in separate boxes but they may cross on my painting table and then I can't hold back!  

[Driscoles]

We dont have a distributor in the US yet. Thanks for your offer spooner !

Some more teaser stuff, a couple of our playtesting Unit Cards. These will look a bit different in the final version: you´ll get blank cards with the rulebook on which you can note the details of your army´s units; the army lists will feature "pre-made" unit cards.

The point is to have an easy means of stats and equipment reference, as well as being used to determine the order of play.



And yes, the soldiers on the last card are actually White resp. Czarist Army Russians. As said, these cards are mock-ups, but you get the basic idea.

very very nice, love the cards  :love:

[Driscoles]

Yes, the cards are nice. But they are only an example how they can look like when you make your own cards.

Here we have some extractions from historical pictures. In our test games we used cards with pictures from our own painted miniatures collection.

Purists can use simple poker game cards.

The game cards that come with the game will also look nice  

Above  you see the units name. Right is initiative value. On the bottom is the stat line and some space for equipment the unit uses.

Cheers
Björn

I'd volunteer to program an online card generator, where people can upload a picture, input name, stats and stuff and get a page full of nice cards to print out. If Chris hasn't already done that for his Red Army cards ::

Oh, that would be great! All those already shown and seen by the playtesters where laboriously hand-crafted using an ancient version of Photoshop...

Rain, hailstorms, superglue stains, outdated software... nothing can stop a Cardboard Warlord!

Here is a _very_ basic version I whipped up in an hour or so: card generator The picture needs to be on a webserver and you need to provide the full path including http:// to load it. Some work to do on the layout, but otherwise, this should work. Let me know what you think.

TEUTONIC EFFICIENCY

[Driscoles]

Wow Zafarelli....not only your name sounds magical, you are !  

Thanks
Björn

[Westfalia Chris]

The Incredible Zaffarelli. Amazing. One thing, though, you´ll need to remove the "Combat" stat, since we straight-laced the system a bit in that.

[Zafarelli]

Made some changes... the background image can easily be changed (I just took the one from my page), as can the dynamically embedded Score icon in the upper left. I had no fancy Red Star, so I took the numbers from my page again.

And it is neither magic nor teutonic efficiency, merely cunning Copy/Paste from a tutorial site  :mrgreen:

Oh, and "Combat" has gone, too.

[Westfalia Chris]

Sorry to keep bitching, but the QUALITY is 1-4, whereas the score is either 6, 7 or 8...
