Destroyer Card Set

I appreciate all the comments. That’s the input I was looking for, as well as if some stats may be off. The whole point is that a lot of these are new classes of ships and so I had to guess on some of the outfits.

Campbeltown
I think you’re right. I was trying to be clever and succinct with the wording but if it got past you guys then I need to clarify.

When this unit invades an Installation...

But the carrot for using her is the disguise. She’s hard to stop but if you get close you can’t just knock on the door indefinitely. This was a floating bomb!

Maury
Shore Support is down to being a house rule thing where you use it for scenarios and “any island on the opponent’s side.” In this set there’s room for those kinds of cards. Lots of destroyers bombarded targets and this is a nod to that service, which is why I wanted that SA somewhere in the set.

Ford
I hadn’t considered the ANB. But I don’t think it’s too overpowering (nor the best use of the points) to put this ship that far forward. You’d have to win initiative to make the torpedoes/weak ASW count. As a side note, has anyone played Battlestations: Midway? That ship is (and was) all over the place!

Porter
Playing devil’s advocate, it’s a very cheap AA6? If you don’t gun and don’t torpedo, it’s a steal. Maybe send it on ASW duty.

Making the cards
I am not a graphic artist. The silhouettes are all Sackville. The Allied cards are all based on Canberra and the Axis cards are all based on Duca d’Aosta. The “image” to the right of the stats is what’s left of those cards’ images. I would like to put a picture of the destroyer in there, but I didn’t want to put a picture in there more than I wanted to put these cards out. So yeah, I would like to have something better in that space. These are made on Paint, actually I copied and pasted letters from other cards to make the ship names and copied some other ships’ stat tables. The font you see except for the SAs is the same as on the sets 1-4 cards. On the SA text I wound up being all over the place, but it’s a pain to try to redo them. I probably will delete the spaces. I do like how they make for a cleaner look when it all does fit.

Again, thanks for the insight! What else have you got?

Great cards. It is always nice to have some fresh options. I’ll have to do some play testing for once the lockdown ends and I can get a game together

Let me know how it goes! There are always unintended consequences and/or questions that come up in a lot of cards this size.

Coffee equals Petroleum distillate which powers the navy.

Vanilla is a nice flavour

You've got alot of missing beacons in recap post, that hide a significant number of images.

Just looking at these again.

Are the second page of card images any different from the first? Updated or formatting etc.
