\"\"<\/a>In several of the Look, Sarge, No Charts<\/em> rules sets, a number of special dice are used to resolve various combat effects, such as morale checks, rolls to close with the enemy, and rolls to stand when charged. \u00a0During a recent G.A.M.E.R.<\/em> (see previous posts) play test, Chris suggested that the card mechanism being developed for G.A.M.E.R.<\/em> might work to replace the dice in Bear Yourselves Valiantly<\/em>. \u00a0I made up cards for him for those rules. \u00a0The experiment went well, and Dave wanted a similar deck of cards for Fate of Battle<\/em>. \u00a0I ginned them up and posted them to the Yahoo Group. \u00a0Above is a sample.<\/p>\n

The consensus is that these are a little easier to read than the various dice. \u00a0They also remove the table clutter of the dice. \u00a0Finally they eliminate the need for players to memorize which dice are used in which situations and the search for the right ones.<\/p>\n
