Event cards

[Imperious Leader]

Can somebody please post a link for these cards?

[The Dessert Fox]

Even just attach them to a post would be good

[Viracocha]

Yeah… was wondering that myself.  Haven’t heard anything back about 'em…

[General 6 Stars]

Cursa, Thanks again for event card list. Made my cards out of card stock painted to the color of countries and then printed off computer and cut to 3" x 2"  size of business card. Might also put on countries logo.

Here is a list of 52 we started playing with (the first two letters are the card equivalent: so AD is ace of diamonds).  We play by our own rules, all countries on board are worth 1 pt except capitals and factories, we don’t play the standard game with everyone taking a country, so the cards may be different if you play a standard game.  I can give more details on our version if people like, but basically all we did for the cards was add a draw card round after combat movement but before resolving combats.

we have played with most of these, this is a revision so the revisions haven’t been tested but seem similar.

ADOil shortage – transports can not move for a full turn – card must be played immediately, affects every country for one turn (your combat moves remain this turn, but you may not move your transports your next combat move.  But non-combat movement will be allowed).
2DFuel shortage – tanks can not move this round – card must be played immediately, affects every country for one turn (your combat moves remain this turn, but you may not move your tanks your next combat move.  But non-combat movement will be allowed).
3DLate orders – half of the infantry units arrive late for battle, they do not get to attack the first round – Can be used when one of your territories is attacked. Must be played or discarded before your next draw phase.
4DMissed orders – one type of unit does not get to attack the first round (random) – Must be played immediately, affects one of your attacks you declare this round. Roll randomly to determine which attack is affected, then roll randomly to determine the type of unit that misses the first round.
5DBolstered defense – locals rise up to help the army, add 20% to the infantry stack rounded down (1-9 infantry =+1, 10-19=+2).  These units can be taken as casualty but they disappear after battle even if not taken as a casualty. Must be played before your next draw phase, can be used when one of your territories is attacked or you may use it when someone is attacking any other territory.
6DPill boxes - Repel amphibious assault – no shelling of the beach attacks this round. Must be played before your next draw phase, can be used when one of your territories is attacked or you may use it when someone is attacking any other territory.
7DLeague of Nations steps in – all neutral defenders get +20% infantry rounded down (minimum of 1 infantry). Card must be played immediately.
8DTemporary tech - Scientific breakthrough, roll for a research tech that you may use this turn only (until your next draw phase).  Card must play immediately.
9DWoman at work – Factory output doubles (can place 6 units in a 3 unit factory etc) next turn.  Card must be shown immediately but its effects do not take effect until your next turn. Only affects your factories.
10DGeneral’s refuses orders – one of your generals refuses its attack orders.  Random determine from one of you declared attacks this round. Destroy one infantry from the declared attackers to regain control of military.  If no infantry are in attacking zone, destroy one infantry elsewhere.
JD Propaganda – Two infantry rise up in a neutral country and attack an enemy occupied neighboring zone. If no neutrals remain that can attack an enemy, you may place two infantry in an enemy controlled territory that is unoccupied by anything (no factory, airbase, etc).  Opponent loses the IPC. You must play this card before your next draw phase. 
QD Assassination attempt foiled – destroy one unit in enemy capital.  Card must be played immediately. Card does not affect sea zones.
KD Subs run silent – remove any of your subs from the board that you desire (after writing down their starting position), if they have movement available, you may move them and write down their location on a separate piece of paper for non-combat.  Subs reappear at the beginning of your next turn, or if an enemy boat enters their zone (forcing a fight if it’s a destroyer, automatically sinks any transports that enter its zone if unaccompanied).  If subs enter a battle they get to use their attacking ‘to hit’ number for the first round and the other boats use their defense value (second round and beyond is sub defend, sub may still submerge at any time if no destroyers are present).
AH No Retreat – Attacking force can not retreat.  You must play this card before your next draw phase.  You can play it against any opponent after they declare their attacks but before they start rolling for combat.
2H Code breaker – attack orders intercepted, retreat from one zone attacked this round.  You must play this card before your next draw phase, you can only play this card when one of your territories are attacked (allowing your armies to withdraw before the battle and you can only move one space to an area you control to withdraw).
3H Sandstorm – pick one zone in Middle East or Africa without a factory.  A sand storm prevents any units from moving into our out of that zone.  You must play this card before you next draw phase, it is in effect for one full round of turns (if you play it on your turn, it ends on your turn.  If you play it on France’s turn it ends on France’s turn, etc)
4H Winter sets – choose one zone along the north without a factory (must touch the top of the board or touch a zone that touches the top of the board). No units move into or out of that zone this turn. You must play this card before you next draw phase, it is in effect for one full round of turns (if you play it on your turn, it ends on your turn.  If you play it on France’s turn it ends on France’s turn)
5H For god and country – a territories air force volunteers for the unwinnable fight.  Any air units from one zone gain the kamikaze ability for one round. You must play this card before you next draw phase, it can affect any countries air force in one territory. Planes are not forced to use kamikaze ability.  For the purposes of this card, any plane that is a kamikaze chooses its target and hits on a 5 or less.  Capital ships still require two hits to sink.  Kamikazes can be used as industrial bombers doing d6 damage (they can not be shot down).
6H Forced march – one stack of infantry may move 2 squares this round.  Card must be played immediately. You may move an infantry stack that has not yet moved in combat movement 2 squares to enter combat or you may move an infantry two squares during non-combat (you may not retreat an infantry after combat as its ‘forced march’ movement)

[FieldMarshalGames]

I was working on a set of these a while back.  Maybe I will re-open the project.

Here is a sample of what I had

[HBG]

I took your 52 Event cards and modified them for the Global 1939 game.
They added a nice twist and everyone had fun with them, thanks!
I will post them on them in a few days, I need to tweak them once more.

[Viracocha]

The first edition of the Attack! game has some nice ideas for cards like this…

[crusaderiv]

I think event cards it’s a great addittion for the game.
I will try to send an example of my event cards. (When I’ll found the time).
I used the same size as poker cards.

By the way, FMG sample is realy good…

[Wolf555]

I would like to use the event cards from crusaderiv in the Anniversary edition.
As he hasn’t been active in a while, would someone be so kind and send me the document or provide a link here ?

Thanks

[General 6 Stars]

I sent you a PM

@seancb
This looks also very interesting, your variant will be the next I will give a try.

[seancb]

@wolf555 let me know if how you like it and if you have any questions. We also have espionage rules and country specific tech to bolt on if you would like a copy of these send PM and email i will send you the master file. There is also a 1939 setup we created to go with Global 40 board.

[Partydad]

Hello there,

does somebody have the event cards ? i’m really interested because i was searching for something to change the game of axis and allies global. Thx

Well, the text for one set of cards are included in one of the posts. They are indexed with numbers and letters, such as 2C or 10S, which stand for two of clubs and ten of spades. There are 52 cards, one for each card in a standard deck of cards (not counting any joker cards).

In another post there is another set, which are rolled for (roll 2 six-sided dice, add together) and then the effect is looked up on a table.

So, I would say that the “cards” are already posted, if you look carefully enough. :-)
