TW&T - Cards

Someone requested that I post the cards I started for TW&T so here they are.  Please be aware that these cards are not finished yet, there are a few cards with incorrect images or just plain missing (such as the Axis character cards).

So I've got a PDF version and also the Publisher 2007 versions available for download, both are around 3mb in size.

So far I've only started on the British and German cards, and when (if) I finish these I'll likely start on some US cards, maybe Russians too if I ever get around to buying some miniatures.

Well download and have fun, and as usual if you like them then leave a comment telling me so.

PS: My "I Ain't Been Shot Mum" cards are based off this template are for the most part are virtually unchanged, so if you want cards for that game then these will work too.

Bag the Hun - Bonus Cards

Part of the Operation Bodenplatte scenarios I've been putting together includes a system where pilots can earn one-shot abilities to help mix things up on the table.  Some sceanarios call for selection from a specific set of cards while others allow the player to choose from any available.  Cards are selected secretly and are placed face down until played.

Until recetnly these cards have simply been scraps of paper with vague notes like "+/- 2 SPD then discard" so I thought that since I was already making some cards for BTH 2 I might put together a few using the new look.

Again the artwork has been borrowed from here, there and everywhere.  Also I not too happy with the images for "Whites" or "Finesse" but free time is short and so they'll do for now.

Download a PDF version here.

I don't want the cards to be too powerful but I'd like them to be able to add a little oomph when you really need it.  So I put it to everyone out there, what do you think?

Bag the Hun - Cards and Fighter Sheets

There's been some interest latley in the bits and pieces I've put together for Too Fat Lardies Bag The Hun so I thought rather than emailing this stuff around I'd upload them somewhere and paste the links here.

Fighter Sheets
There's plenty of these around the traps but I wanted one that would let me track a whole squadron on a single sheet.  Works a treat for those really big games.  When I get time, haha I made a funny, I'd like to make different versions of these for the Germans and maybe even make up some already filled out (we tend to play a lot of Spitfire vs 'Schmitt games).  I have a few bomber and fighter bomber ones of these too but they're nowhere near complete.

Cards for BTH 1

My first attempt at making cards for any of the Too Fat Lardies games actually.  I'm pretty happy with the results but to be honest all I really did was redesigned some cards I found on the net somewhere (Dogs of War gaming group comes to mind but I'm not 100% sure).

Cards for BTH 2

These are still very much a work in progress given that the game isn't quite out yet.  They look a lot purtier, IMHO, than the 1st edition ones but they've taken maybe 5 times longer to make.

NOTE: This is not a complete set.  All the core cards are there and the British and German airforces are covered but most of the other belligerants only have their character cards, and even then most of them are just copy/pastes of the British cards.

So there you have it, if you download these and like them please do me a favour and leave a comment as it will motivated me to keep putting this stuff up.  Or if you don't like it then let me know why too.

Cards for Hardy, Algy and the Hun

I picked up couple rulesets from Too Fat Lardies recently and since they're all card driven I needed some new cards.

First up is the Napolenoic era naval rules Kiss Me Hardy. I'm really happy with how these are turning out and I should have them done in time to have a few games this weekend. I'm planning on using the WizKids Pirates of the Spanish Main ships. They're about the right size and are cheap, which is very handy when you're trying to refight the battle of Trafalgar.



I started working on the cards for their WW1 aerial combat rules Algernon Pulls it Off (stop that snickering - this is serious... heh heh he said pulls it off) but I got side tracked when my playtest copy of Bag the Hun 2 turned up in my inbox. It turns out that I needed a few new cards for BTH2 and I decided to use my newfound uber Publisher skills and create some purtyer cards.

Obviously I can't say too much about BTH2 suffice to say any house rules I was thinking about using are no longer needed, BTH2 is very comprehensive and looks to be a magnificent successor to an already great game.

Bag the Hun Cards - Finished

With my Bag The Hun cards all printed out, laminated and ready to be cut up I thought I should just double check that I had got the settings correct when I printed them out. I really should have done this before I laminated them but I kind of got carried away in all the excitement. Well the Blizzard Walker is a perfect fit so I sat down and started to cut... and cut... and cut...

Remember to click on the photos for a bigger version.

Until I ended up with this, 80 shiny Bag the Hun cards with rules and spiffy pictures too boot.


The thickness of the laminated paper is just about right to be used like a standard playing card, you can shuffle them with no worries of them bending or warping. The only issue I can see is the paper I used was a little thin so the image shows though slightly on the other side. Nothing a standard card sleeve can't solve

So there you have it a great set of cards for a great game. Now I just need to make a set for I Ain't Been Shot Mum and Through the Mud and the Blood.

Bag the Hun Cards and Counters

I noticed that in my last game of Bag the Hun a lot of time was wasted when dealing with the cards, or more precisely my lack of them. I thought just using a standard deck and a reference chart would work. And it did, just badly. You really need a good set of cards to get Bag the Hun running smoothly. So I scoured all the BTH hun sites I could Google and gathered up all the cards I could find.

I had two requirements for my cards:

1. They had to have as much of the rules relating to that card on the card itself.
2. I didn't want to start completley from scratch but I wanted my cards to look different from all the other cards out there. Yes that's right I want my cake and I want to eat it too.

Anyway so this is what I came up with. If you want higher res versions or a PDF version (around 2-3Mb) then leave a comment here or contact me through the Too Fat Lardies Yahoo Group.
