I am hosting my first SP2 game on Sunday. It is my first time doing so, my own experience with SP2 is limited, and all of the players have never used this system before. It'll be an adventure all around. I put together unit and commander cards with information on them. My hope is that this information will be helpful to first time players. Any thoughts on the cards and improvements to them are appreciated.

I really like this idea. I will be inter sted to see how it worked. Wondering if regular poker size cards would allow more infor for the players.

Will you be putting these assets :) on the 2FL forum? Sounds like a very nice idea.

Poker chips work quite well. You can put the Status level, Name, and any other distinguishing aspect on the chip with peel off stickers. I prefer this over the cards. Especially useful if you have several Big Men and new players.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Matt, I was tempted to put more detail into the ppt slides in a smaller font but worried that too much info causes new players to think "oh man that's a lot of stuff" and it might have been harder to read. I could have made bigger cards and i might in the future depending upon how this goes. Any suggestions as to what else I could/ should have included?

Mark,poker chips would be a good alternative especially for experienced players who only need the Big Man details. Something I'll keep in mind for later.

Zargon, thanks. I'll put it on the forum

I have my leaders mounted on round copper things…..so….I am going to get some single figure base movement trays from warbase….not really a tray just an individual figure holder in effect. With some of these I can texture most of it and identify the leaders name or number around the remaining perimeter.
