Ann Arbor Michigan, still playing with my small group at my place. I finished a 1200 sqft barn loft for gaming and we use all my WAS stuff, just added a new player! We only play highlander style (sisters allowed no duplicates) and it continues to be one of my favorite games!
What size games do y'all play? Highlander is how I would prefer to play, but I've had trouble with my group when there are too many cards/ships.
Anywhere from 50 PTS to 1000+ depends on the day and what we feel like. Large battles we put 2-3 players on a side and divide responsibility. Someone takes land air and subs, someone takes surface ships, third takes CV's, etc

Wow, that is pretty darn good. As someone who pays for the ships and then someone else to paint them.... This would be a pretty sweet deal, and likely much faster.
I'm working on this with WAS and AA minis for the HBG global war 1936 map. Play global war as usual except battles on the board are resolved using WAS or AA minis. We have been hammering out cost conversions from board IPP's into WAS points.
I agree that a lot of builds are challenged by a lack of cards for early war destroyers. I'm intending to start doing cards for some of them this fall as long as I can get the photoshop part figured out. The long term ambition in my play group is to combine WAS/AAM with Global war 1936, to create a giant strategy game with tactical battles.
As someone who plays highlander style and is trying to get a card for every possible unit, I'm highly supportive. My play group already prints a lot of extra aircraft using a good quality laser printer, they aren't perfect but pretty decent. I would love to see a lot of the submarine and destroyer classes of various nations filled out, especially some of the older stuff. As always, real life is very busy for me so I can't really be primary on much of this. Happy to give input when I can though!
What do u mean by highlander style
You can only take one of each named ship. For instance if you have already taken Haguro you can't take another, you need to take Myoko or another sister. Makes it less gamey and really starts to make for hard choices in a campaign style game.
After many years of collecting and printing every possible custom card.... I would like to contribute some of my own. For those of you who make cards, what design program do you use? How do you go about putting the text and picture on to make it look smooth? Do you have a blank card image that you start with? Can I obtain that from you? My preference would be to stay close to the WOTC card pattern sort of like SWO and Lucky_Y's card.
After reading all 27 pages of this, I think maybe we can do a deck H and I as well huh? I love having a Hornet that would be more useful. I'm always in favor of more German subs. A lot of these proposed units have been done by SWO or Brigs, if this deck is not getting printed isn't that the same level of "offical"?
One thing that I don't love and I'm likely a minority here... Is when we do something SWO or Brigman has already done. To me, this is just unnecessary duplication and we have lots of other things that could take that slot. I still buy the deck and use whatever my preferred version of the unit is but still not ideal.
