Hi Guys, I'm finally opening this section to share a project started long ago and which does not move forward as fast as I would like. The intent is to redo the existing cards (and entitle new custom ones to be done) with an international approach.
This idea comes from the fact that it was difficult for me and friends of the community to initiate new players if they did not have a minimal fluency at english. So I aim at redesigning the look and feel of the cards with icons instead of text.
I will share progress and proposals to get your feedback.

Sounds like you want icons to replace most SA's. Well, you could put those icons and their "explanations" (in English) on a forum page here somewhere. Then people could go to that page/thread, and use google translate or some other translation feature to read the definition in their own language?
(just trying to think out loud on how to support your efforts!)

That could be an option, but I'd like the icons to be able to speak by themselves, as much as possible.
For instance, a couple of ideas I have :
Unit type : have Icons instead of general type words (Ship, A/C, Sub, Installation), with a letter or symbol in it indicating the subtype if applicable.
For instance a battleship would be the ship icon with a B, a dive bomber would be a plane icon with a bomb on it.
SAs worded with a sequence of icons describing the trigger, if applicable, and the effects. For instance "Slow 1" would be an indication for movement phase [no decided which form, could be a step with the phase number in it], dice on 1 side (trigger) followed by semicolon and speed Icon with "-1" indication" (effect)
SOrry not to have an illustrated example, I have to create the corresponding specific font first
