I have created some 3"x4" Unit Cards for all of the units in Lion Rampant. I find these handy little references that my players use. They have all the stats for a unit, don't take up much table room and add a bit of period feel. The file is a MS Powerpoint file. I had to place it inside a zip file to preserve the fonts I have used. Google Docs just does not want to cooperate. The file is fully editable so you can alter the cards or create your own units to suit your scenario and time period. Just thought I would share. Here is an example of some of the cards. I print them on paper, cut them out and then place them in Ultra-Pro Toploader baseball card sleeves.

Sorry – Looks like I did not set the file up to be shared. |

The cards look great. I wouldn't use the top loaders due to price. Instead, I'd use cheap/used CCG card sleeves and slip a cheap/worn CCG card behind the paper. I do this for Magic the Gathering all the time, printing color proxies. |

Ken, Great creation. Much better than the simple ones I constructed. Thanks, Jim |

I am actually just getting into these rules. I noticed in the rule book that they were very inconsistent with the use of the "+" sign after some numbers. I assume that is just bad editing not really that the unit only hits on 1 number? I added the little upward hand to signify the +. Felt more medieval to me! Anyone know if they are reprinting the Crusades book again any time soon? |

These are great. Thanks. Had not noticed any problem with the + sign. What is missing? Wonder what the second edition is going to change? |

Might I suggest that the abilities (such as countercharge) give details of what that means, such as countercharge foot or mounted 7+ Personally I prefer a single page summarizing all my units with quick reference sheet on the back. I don't play the game often enough to have the basics memorized |

Just getting into this game myself. Thank you so much. I love using cards for stat reference. |

jwebster – I like the idea but its hard to add enough detail in the small box when there are multiple special rules that apply to a unit. So, instead I created a reference card that can be printed out and slipped inside the card holder on the back side. It's still not great on detail but maybe enough to jog your memory and help new players…? Nothing ventured nothing gained. I have uploaded a new file to the same link. link Thanks. |

Great, excellent job/presentation. I will use them in my next gaming session. I wonder if something like this exists for Dragon Rampant or Rebels & Patriots exists. |
