I posted this over on the Lardies' forum, but I thought I'd put it here as well. I've made card decks for Troops, Weapons, & Tactics that are available now.
TW&T Deck 1 (Unit Cards): This is the first required deck and supports up to a reinforced platoon. It contains 4 squads, 2 support, 2 tanks, 2 anti-tanks and 5 big men (with Tactical Initiative cards) for both Axis and Allies. This deck (along with Deck 2, below) is sufficient to play 95% of TW&T scenarios. The Tactical Initiative cards have been selected according to how common the Big Man Grade is for all the nations in the rulebook.
TW&T Deck 2 (Scenario Cards): This is the second required deck and contains all the national characteristic cards and scenario cards (blinds move, tea break etc). It also contains the #6 big man for both Axis and Allies.
TW&T Deck 3 (Reinforcements): This is an optional deck. It reinforces each side to two platoons. Combined with Deck 1, this gives you a total of 6 squads (i.e. 2 platoons), 4 support (1 platoon), 5 tanks (1 platoon) and 12 big men (with Tactical Initiative cards). This deck is really for bigger, convention games (or if you just want to have more TI cards!).
Note, the back may trim slightly onto the words (particularly on the bottom, where the Too Fat Lardies logo is). This cannot be helped, since it is just the TW&T cover image, which doesn't have proper bleed. That said, I received mine and I think it looks rather smashing (kind of stylized: trust me, it actually works quite well!).
I should clarify that I am not selling these personally or making any profit—I'm just doing it to support the game! There are a few ArtsCow sale coupons on right now: 35OFFSITE nets 35% off the total price and SHIPPED20 gets you free shipping on orders of $20 USD or more. They don't stack, unfortunately, and the shipping is pretty expensive to most destinations, so you may find the free shipping coupon is your best bet.
These 2.5" x 3.5" cards fit nicely in Fantasy Flight Games "Standard Card Game Sleeves" and all three decks (with sleeves) will fit nicely into two standard UltraPro deck boxes (I like the brown box, myself).
Let me know what you think!
is excited to paint something new.
