\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you have been following this series of posts, you’ll recall that I am developing some concepts for a new skirmish-level World War II game. \u00a0In previous posts, I’ve provided examples of some of the action cards as they’ve evolved. \u00a0Above is a sample unit record sheet for a player. \u00a0Note that each player is supposed to lead a squad, consisting of two half squads for most countries. \u00a0(Marines, on the contrary, divided their squads into three teams. \u00a0One might also argue that a US Army squad was divided into three teams as well.)<\/p>\n

Below is an example of a vehicle record. \u00a0This is very early in development of a vehicle record, as I haven’t thought through all the vehicle rules yet. \u00a0I am also desperately in need of another play test of the basic infantry rules.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Note that the layout of the “back” of the vehicle card. \u00a0This is designed to give the players guidance on how to resolve the various results of hit location from the action deck. \u00a0I would guess that after a game or two most of the back of this card will be no longer needed. \u00a0I am hoping to develop some fun items for the non-penetrating hit table. \u00a0Also, I think that any penetrating hit will also include a roll on the non-penetratin hit chart. \u00a0I’m not artist, but I’m trying to lay out the back of the card in a way that is intuitive. \u00a0What do you think?<\/p>\n

To this point in development, the only need for a die has been to roll for movement distance each turn. \u00a0To resolve these kinds of combat effects, I think I will put a 1 through 10 in the top right corner of each card. \u00a0You could then flip a card to “roll” a d10. \u00a0If players prefer, they could also use a d10 already sitting on the table for movement instead of flipping a card.<\/p>\n
