Musket and Tomahawk cards
« on: 02 July 2015, 08:23:22 AM »
I have dug out my rule book but Can not find the cards anywhere. Is there a place where I can just buy the cards from? I want to build up a 40mm collection for the fIW.

You could try contacting Northstar to see if they are able to sell you the cards. I have not seen them being sold anywhere separately. :?

Failing that you could make up a set. You can buy blank playing cards on Ebay/Amazon etc. Not ideal but at least you will still be able to play.

The cards only come with the ruleset but as Malamute says it is worth trying Northstar or whoever you bought the ruleset from.

I seem to recall seeing seperate sets of cards on the French website - although it was a while back and they may only have been in French.

I'm also looking for a home made M&T card deck in PDF, since I've lost the originals. Can someone help me?

No help from me as I need a set as well. The people I bought them from at Colours some years ago didn't have a set at that point. They were supposed to be sending me a set, which has never materialised.
So I'd also be interested if someone can suggest a source!

I made my own set of cards and printed them at printerstudio.com.

It has different cards for all the factions, based on the troop types they can actually use.

You can find the pictures here:

Thanks for that Jase. I grabbed a set, they'll come in handy when my cards wear out.

I've just noted that in the Jase's custom deck there is no British "Militia" action cards, which are however part of the original deck. I checked the rulebook and in fact the British do not have any "Militia" type of units. I noticed that the British "Colonial militia" are cosidered as irregular type of unit. Is this actually correct?

Yes, that surprised me as well. The only difference is that because of this they have one activation more than Militia type units. Never thought of this as a typo though. Maybe Loyalist Militia has to do more to prove their loyalty to the British and thus they fight harder?  :D

The reason they are in the original deck is that it gives you two identical sets of cards so you can use them for any faction, not just the British.
