Mockup of new Action Deck cards<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I have begun to develop a version of Combat Patrol(TM) using the GAMER(TM) engine. \u00a0This will be for ancient, mediaeval, pike and shot, and similar periods. \u00a0There won’t be huge changes from the WWII version, but the changes will better enable the rules to reflect to differences between modern combat and earlier periods. \u00a0I have been tentatively calling this project Combat Patrol(TM): Dark Ages<\/em>, but I don’t think that title is inclusive enough.<\/p>\n

Development has begun with mocking up a sample Action Deck card. \u00a0I will create a couple decks of cards like this for play testing. \u00a0Once I am happy with the results, I’ll send the mockups to the artist I use in Canada to build the final cards. \u00a0Emmanuel did an excellent job on the original Combat Patrol(TM): WWII cards <\/em>and also the South Pacific supplement cards.<\/em><\/p>\n

Some interesting differences:<\/p>\n
