ASL Vehicle and Ordnance Cards

Do you ASL players remember those ASL vehicle cards that came with Deluxe ASL?  Or have you played any of the Yaquinto games like Panzer or 88?  Or Avalon Hill’s MBT or IDF?  Or GMT’s Panzer revision?  Or even ATS?  I liked the vehicle cards, which contained all of the pertinent information regarding each vehicle.  These were great resources that, for me, helped with game play. 

Well, now ASL has its own set of AFV/Ordnance cards, courtesy of Dr. Chris Edwards.  Go to his website www.aslcards.com to see more info and order them.  They are $25 for the main nationalities and an extra $5 for the Allied and Axis Minors.  Very much worth the small cost, especially given the effort it must have taken to produce these.    

These cards come in pdf format, with two cards per page.  Every nationality is represented.  Information such as armor factors, movement points, ammo types, target size, gun type, mechanical reliability, open/closed top are all there.  Also included are To Hit tables for that specific weapon, and basic To Kill numbers for the weapon and ammunition used.  The Vehicle Number corresponding to Chapter H is also included next to the Vehicle Name. The cards are well-laid out, very readable and highly useful. 

I got a little intense and printed out every one on double-sided pages, laminated each page, cut out the cards and use them to play.  I find them very helpful since all of the info is on the card (including a picture of the counter).  I can reference the card instead of looking at the counter.  I don’t have the specs of every vehicle memorized, so these cards come in handy. 

Highly recommended.
