It would be easy enough to change the size of cards used based on table size, miniature scale, etc. So I might try 3 by 5 inch index cards, or half-size ones that I bought a pack of for other purposes. My ideas include things like only being able to move in a straight line with any given card, using the short side when moving in rough terrain, a card ends at a feature like a river or fence or rough terrain and if another card remains the unit can move further, maybe letting some unit types fire in between cards, expending cards for other reasons (like reloading, or maybe some special event or action depending on scenario).Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-77245687272056739392011-11-06T17:42:43.380+00:002011-11-06T17:42:43.380+00:00Leofwine Wargamerson (Alan),

I am not sure what armourfast's position on sales will be at this time, I am just happy to be able to support the idea of young gamers being given a helping hand, as I was all those years ago. Thanks for everything Bob, you helped make me who I am today. The wife has been looking for someone to blame!Leofwine Wargamersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793737318401615556noreply@blogger.com
