Just ordered...

I may have had my hands in that one and a few others. Good games and a fun system. As for the cards, I'm glad to see them getting a chance to get out. I was talking to Mark about these back in very late 2011. We both have been too busy with other things the past year to swing back the guns.

Here is an example of the cards. Some of the formatting is still being tweaked and thus subject to change (CMA).

Oh, those look so good Jim.

I'm personally not too fond of the font used (on the counter reproduction) - I would imagine having a hard time reading that on a card.  Just my personal observation.

I'm not sure what led to the font choise for the system. I'm sure like many decisions it looked good and "fit" the feel. For the words its a decent font but most folks have issues with the little 3s and 5s. They tend to look similar enough to throw folks off. That being said it doen't take much effort to catch on to what is what. White Star Rising, same system set in WW2, uses a different font and also larger 3/4" counters. Both help with older eyes looking at small numbers.

The cards are using the art plates from the counter production proofs. Enlarged enough to be readable and fit on the card with the additional info.

I think the WaW crowd will like them.

The font may not be ideal, but you do get used to reading the counter info pretty quickly. It seems like a lot at first (and it kinda is) but it is quite manageable after a play through or two.
