If I get the rulebook only (not 100 Days), does it come with printed unit cards? Or does it show unit stats and I make my own cards? Or maybe cards in book I can copy? Thanks |

From the website: "UNIT CARDS Blücher may be played with or without miniatures. If you are new to Napoleonic gaming, or if you just want a game that you can take anywhere and set up in ten minutes on any flat surface, the unit cards offer a wonderful and attractive option to collecting large armies of figures. The downloads page offers blank unit templates for players to create their own. Or you can purchase the first expansion set for Blücher: The Hundred Days." link |

Note the cards really aren't a requirement as they are all playing card sized so it is easy to use what you have around already if you are going to play with miniatures. They don't stay concealed for long. |

The basic rulebook has army lists giving the stats for all main troop types of all main nationalities. As mentioned above, there are blank cards you can download and print off, perhaps on different coloured card for each nation. Just copy in the details from the army lists and you're good to go. If you're using figures, not cards, then there's a blank roster sheet as well. |

It does not come with cards. Cards are only necessary if you do not intend to use miniatures to play the games. There are generic cards which can be downloaded from the website if you wish. The Hundred Days Card set is a beautiful addition providing all the cards needed for the three armies of 1815. The specific campaign details for the hundred days, including the campaign map, are all available as free downloads fro the Honour webiste. I have just received e rules set and the card pack, and cannot praise the production values highly enough. Mollinary |

Just got my book and cards. As in 10mins. ago. Simply beautiful. Looking forward to getting a game in soonish. |

I declined to order the cards initially, but then realized that it would be a heck of a lot easier to play the game using the cards and not dragging out the minis. |

My copy of the rules and card arrived on Tuesday. With some mates, we then played two games of 16 units each in under 3 hours, utilizing the cards. We'll be using the cards again, until we can each get our 15mm armies painted and based (if ever), on felt terrain. We had zero problems with understanding the rules and really enjoyed the potential of the campaign system. You don't NEED the cards, but they are handy when miniatures are not convenient or present. |

Got mine last week. Didn't get the cards, as I will be using miniatures. Love the rules. Well done Sam. Don't love the cards, but I can see that for some people they can start playing the game right away while they paint up figures etc. |
