We play in a group that usually has 5-8 participates in an evening. We need to get everyone a command, finish in three hours, and have fun. This means a convention style game every Thursday and finding rule sets that fit these parameters can be a challenge. We attempted
Force on Force, it was fun but seemed to bog down with the number of commands we need. Are latest effort was using
Gruntz, where each stand represented 1 Grunt. We had a lot of fun and the game worked well for our group. I think the Baron will put up a battle report on his
blog. I spent of bunch of time making new stat cards, so here they are. Note I made these in Photoshop, and they are supposed to be 2.5" x 3.5" and that is how they look in MS Word, but here they seem a bit bigger.
Militia
I did many Google image searches to find the various pictures, I liked the Congo rebel wearing the wig, smoking, with a slung RPG the most of anything I found.
On the 2nd African Militia card, I added a Perk.
Regulars
Professionals
The sniper team has two perks, I am hoping we can read the small text during the game.
And last some extras. The transport is universal and I have not painted a T-55 yet, so it was just an experiment in playing with the values to see if a tank would work in the game.
I am sure there are errors in there somewhere, but it is better than what the online Gruntz card generator could give me. My professionals are done and I am working on some Land Rovers and a large flatbed truck.
Wow! These are really impressive... lovely cards.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea too... I look forward to reading the AAR :)
Thanks, I did spot some errors and make a few changes. I will get on the Baron about that report!
DeleteNicely done.....very impressed with your blog, good stuff all round.

Really great Jay. Can't wait to play them.
ReplyDeleteSweet
ReplyDeleteVery awesome. I sorta like how they could easily be used with AK47 ruleset too. Inspired by I suppose?
ReplyDeleteAny chance of releasing the updated cards in a pdf file?
Sure, I will work on it.
ReplyDeleteVery very nice! I might bump the militia shoot up to 4 and follow suit with the rest by increasing by one. 3 is at the "nearly never hit" level but if you can cope with that in a game it would be fine.
ReplyDeleteAlso - How brilliant are those photos! excellent work. I once read on the BBC site about "Fright" Warriors in Africa. They would dress as ladies with super-bright scarfs and tight bright pink tops etc. It was a voodoo thing where they thought the easier to see they were the more proof against bullets they were. Perhaps a Perk is needed to cover that! :)
