I just printed out Fatal Glory from an old "Nugget" and immediately saw the problem of large playing cards, small hexes, and 15mm figures, so I went to eBay and ordered playing card tiles on Monday. I planned to do the same thing: put them in a bag and draw them like chits.<br /><br />I am just waiting for them to come in so I can get an AmRev game in.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13667428218897971037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-55528724250249972402012-12-31T01:09:52.146+00:002012-12-31T01:09:52.146+00:00The tiles are much better.
