Hello everyone,
I remember seeing and printing off a bunch of aces and admiral cards someone had made on Forumini about 5-6 years ago. They were all overly powerful or rather unbalanced because of the sa's they had. So, I decided to make my own custom cards based off them and the recent admiral cards found in the Custom Cards link on this website. For some reason I can't post any pics of these people on here, sorry.
#1st Ace Card:
Major Erich Hartmann

Luftwaffe Fighter Ace 1: While assigned to the Bf-109,
Hartmann rolls one extra attack die when attacking.
*This unit must be land based.
Great Agility: When an enemy fighter rolls successes
exactly equal to this unit’s vital armor and would
destroy it, abort this unit instead.
Ace of Aces: Twice/game, Hartmann may reroll
an AA attack.

missions and participated in aerial combat on 825 separate occasions. He
claimed, and was credited with, shooting down 352 Allied aircraft—345 Soviet
and 7 American—while serving with the Luftwaffe. Hartmann served mainly
with the Jagdgeschwader 52 (JG 52) (52nd Fighter Wing), which was the most
successful fighter-wing of all time, with a claimed total of more than 10,000
victories over enemy aircraft during WWII.
1st Admiral Card:
Admiral Raymond Spruance

Biography:
Raymond Ames Spruance was a USN admiral in WWII. He commanded U.S. naval
forces during two of the most significant naval battles that took place in the
Pacific Theatre: the Battle of Midway and the Battle of the Philippine Sea.
Spruance was nicknamed "electric brain" for his calmness even in moments of
supreme crisis, a reputation enhanced by his successful tactics at Midway. After
the war, Spruance was appointed President of the Naval War College, and later
served as American ambassador to the Philippines.
The main thing I dislike about the Admiral cards on Forumini is that they're not assigned to any specific year. I included a "Scenario" in my cards which tells what year(s) they can be used in. Each Ace/Admiral is assigned to a specific aircraft/ship and that person benefits with the SA's listed below Weapon of Choice as well as to the SA's listed on the stat card. I also gave my Admirals a Initiative bonus. So, if they are lost in combat, you lose that initiative bonus. Haha, I know the game isn't called Axis and Allies: Air at Sea, but what good is your fleet if you don't have a powerful air force!? I'd like to hear any comments or suggestions anyone may have.
