Other that Malifaux and Fairy Meat, are there any other miniature games out there that use a card-based set of mechanics? |

The Commands and Colors board game system, including memoir 44 and Battle Cry are often played as miniatures games and the rules use a card based mechanic… |

Many of our home grown sets used card based activation, as do rules such as TSATF, Fireball Forward etc. |

It depends on what you mean by a "card-based set of mechanics". If you mean cards for activating units and driving the turn sequence, there are zillions of games (well, maybe hundreds ;-)) who do this. Compared to 10 years or so ago, it's nothing extraordinary anymore to have a game that uses cards for activating units. |

My games usually leverage a deck of playing cards to implement fog of war mechanics. They're ubiquitous, familiar to players, support complex probability manipulation, and allow you to offload complexity outside the play of the game. |

My rules, Oh God, Anything but a six, uses an optional Event deck the effects of which are for one turn only and are random, evenly balanced between both sides, and not ones where you can play gin-rummy with the miniatures having a purely secondary role. The other deck is the combat results deck, which is dealt out by the person in combat, which the enemy then tries to avoid by a morale roll. If you don't "roll them off" they go on the unit and take effect. The cards are special printed. |

Other titles using one or more card decks for various purposes include "John Company," "Boilers And Breechloaders," "Rough Riders!", "B'hoys!," "The Sun Never Sets," and "Waken The Storm!", all available through TVAG
(http://www.thevirtualarmchairgeneral.com/079-rules.html). Card Decks in support of "The Sword And The Flame," and "800 Fighting Englishmen" (among other titles) are available through this link Cards! An indispensable tool in the war game designer's toolbox! TVAG |

Brother Against Brother uses cards. My rules have a deck of ards for random events/bonuses and are an easy way to introduce scenario elements without having to write a page of rules for it. |

@Phil Dutre. I mean games that use cards instead of dice to resolve tests. So games like the ones i already mentioned: Malifaux and Fairy Meat. |
