The PDF file has been corrected of spelling errors, and the available link has been replaced.

I have made some great progress in artscow this weekend, although most of the work so far has been dedicated to the learning curve needed to navigate the site’s design process, the remaining motions should be more systematic. I have dedicated many many hours to this card deck and have even more ahead of me before the finished product, but after working in artscow, I’m confident that it will all be worth it… its a very cool application for customizers, thanks for bringing it to my attention IL.
FYI: I have decided to remove all the R# graphics on each Strategic Advantage card, I feel that it will allow players to use the cards more freely if they wish to rearrange the order of nations receiving advantages. Also, I wanted the cards to look less cluttered.

No worries. Take your time.

After tons of hours, I have finally completed the G40 Delta Deck at artscow.com, you can find it here…

Please be aware that I only designed the deck at artscow.com and I have no affiliation with them, nor can I guarantee the quality of their products and service. I designed the deck according to their instructions the best I could and I apologize for any unforeseen design flaws. As for myself, I will be taking the PDF file to my trusted printer guy who will cut and laminate a deck for me, if anyone orders from artscow, please share your review of the product here.
Cheers.

Great! Thanks. I will probably not be able to get to it for a few days or a week, but I will at some point.

After much thought, I have downgraded the major IC in India to a minor (players can still spend money to upgrade it)
War Economy
The British economy is no longer split between London and Calcutta, instead, the United Kingdom will now collect one income for all territories owned on the map. All IPCs must be relinquished each time an enemy power captures London, however, Calcutta is no longer a capital city, and the major IC on India has been downgraded to a minor. This optional rule is highly suggested due to the strategic objective card “British Empire”. -
If London gets captured, does Calcutta become a secondary capital? Or is that simply it for the UK?

That’s it for them until London is liberated, if the UK can’t protect their capital with 45+ IPCs than they don’t deserve a second chance. It also gives the Axis extra incentive to at least consider Sealion if the reward is all that cash plus no units built on India.

Hey Everyone,
I got my G40 Delta Deck from Artscow.com today. They look great! The artwork and printing is top notch. They are just like a typical deck of playing cards. Also, they are slick like playing cards which makes it easier to work with.
There do seem to be a few misprints but overall I think the deck makes the G40 Delta rules very playable. I am going to mention what errors I had to Young Grasshopper and maybe these things will be corrected for the proposed 2nd edition later on. However, I think it is very useable as is and I am looking forward to trying this new system out this weekend.
In my opinion, these are well worth the price, although artscow.com does kind of hit you on shipping. It took 1 week from order to receipt.
I took a few pics to share. Sorry about the flash obscuring part of the pic, but you will get the general idea.
Here are the Strategic Advantages and Progressive Advantages.

Here are the Strategic Objectives and the Card Backs. The Strategic Advantages are Blue, Progressive Advantages are Red and the Strategic Objectives are Green.

Happy for you knp. Enjoy using them.
-
This is Fantastic KNP! I’m sooo happy. I was worried about the border edges because it was difficult to size and place each card on to the blank template, but they look great. I will address each of your questions here throughout the day…
Cheers and thanks for sharing.

There is an error on the progressive advantage card “Manhattan Project”…
It should read:
America chooses an enemy capital and may then roll 3 dice to damage the IC, 2 dice to remove IPCs, and 1 dice to destroy units on that territory (enemy chooses which casualties to remove).
…and not:
America chooses an enemy capital and may then roll 3 dice to remove IPCs, 2 dice to damage the IC, and 1 dice to destroy units on that territory (enemy chooses which casualties to remove).
To remove IPCs means to take cash.
-
There is an error on the Russian strategic objective card “Lend Lease Act”, it should read sea zone #125 (not #120).
-
There is an error on the American strategic objective card “The South Pacific”, it should include Java.
-
Thanks KNP for pointing out those errors, and I apologize for the design flaws… I guess I was dreaming to think that I could pull this off without a single flaw. These and other changes will be adressed during 2nd edition.

There is always something that escapes notice… which I hate, but it is virtually inevitable. If it is not an error it becomes something you want to change after the fact.
But these cards look great. Haven’t had tome to progress on the rulebook yet, but I am looking forward to doing so. Bravo YG.

Here is a post from KNP discussing a Commonwealth and a new production unit…
Hey All,
I am going to try this idea out this weekend. I am using the great Delta G40 card deck developed by Young Grasshopper and per his suggestion, it just seems better to have the UK as a single economy. Of course, so to not make the UK too wealthy, I am also using the Commonwealth to include ANZAC, South Africa, West South Africa and all of Canada. Here are the rules I am going with, sort of a mish-mash of ideas from the preceding Commonwealth ideas:
1 > Calcutta is no longer a capital but just a Victory City. Also, the Major IC is now replaced with one of my patented Mid-Level ICs. (Okay, so it’s not really patented, but that just sounded good.) Also, if Calcutta is captured by the Axis, the UK does NOT lose it’s treasury.
2 > I am using ANZAC units for all Commonwealth territories. The UK units in Canada, South Africa and the surrounding sea zones will be replaced with ANZAC units.
3 > The Strategic Objectives for ANZAC will apply to all the Commonwealth. The Strategic Objectives for the UK will still go to the UK. A couple of the SOs sort of cross over but I figure that is okay since the UK and Commonwealth are kind of dependent on one another.
4 > Commonwealth income can be spent at any IC: Canada, Australia and/or South Africa.
5 > Commonwealth is an odd power as it has two capitals: Ottawa and Sydney. If one or the other gets captured by the Axis, all Commonwealth money on hand goes to the capturer but Commonwealth is still in play like normal and may use any or all remaining ICs to produce units. If both Ottawa and Sydney are captured by the Axis, then Commonwealth is out of the game until one or the other is liberated. For City Objective purposes with the Delta G40 rules, I will still treat Ottawa as a victory city rather than a capital. In other words, the capturer only gets 2 IPCs per turn for capturing it instead of 5 IPCs.I think this is the simplest way to incorporate this idea into the game. I didn’t want to use the rule where if one capital gets captured, then the economy is split from then on because I just think that adds unneeded complexity. I’m excited to see how this goes. I’ll let you guys know.
Thanks to everybody for posting all your ideas. It’s nice to have a lot of choices to pick from and make your game truly your own.Perhaps we can put all these elements together for 2nd edition.
Here’s what I’m thinking…
The United Kingdom:
The British economy is no longer split between London and Calcutta, instead, the United Kingdom will now collect one income for all territories owned on the map with London as it’s capital. All UK IPCs must be relinquished anytime an enemy power captures London, and the major IC on India is now downgraded to a major factory(see below). Japan will not collect the UK’s IPCs for capturing Calcutta is it no longer a capital city, instead Japan will gain 2 IPCs for activating a minor victory city. Also, due to the new British Commonwealth nation explained below, The United Kingdom’s starting income is now 38 IPCs.
The British Commonwealth:
All territories with an ANZAC and Canadian roundel on them will now be know as the British Commonwealth. This new nation will replace ANZAC in the game round sequence, and their collective 17 IPCs to start the game will now be spent and placed on any Commonwealth IC that the Commonwealth player wishes. All starting units on Canadian territories must be replaced with ANZAC gray pieces, and the initial setup has been modified to include a Commonwealth fighter in Ontario. The British Commonwealth has only 1 achievable national objective which is “5 IPCs for control of all original territories” which may only be collected when at war with both Germany and Japan.
New Production Units: (this is KNPs Mid-Level IC idea with a few of my own modifications)
Industrial Complex:
Produces up to 10 units
Maximum damage 20
Unoperational at 10 damage
Replaces all oob Major ICs in initial setup
May no longer be purchasedMajor Factory:
Produces up to 5 units
Maximum damage 10
Unoperational at 5 damage
New unit replacing all oob Minor ICs in initial setup
May not be purchasedMinor Factory:
Produces up to 3 units
Maximum damage 6
Unoperational at 3 damage
May be purchased at a cost of 12 IPCs
May be placed on any territory with an IPC value of 2 or greater.*****The War Time Production strategic advantage will now boost production of Industrial Complexes to 12, Major Factories to 7, and Minor Factories to 4.
*****All Industrial Complexes, and Major Factories are downgraded to Minor Factories once captured.
*****The Industrial Complex in India is downgraded to a Major Factory.
*****Production facilities may no longer be upgraded from one to the other. (except the 3 Major factories into Industrial Complexes when America enters the war).A&A 1942 IC pieces as well as Monopoly hotels and houses will work fine.
Industrial Complex = Gray ICs (1942 A&A)
Major Factory = Red Monopoly Hotel (Red for 5)
Minor Factory = Green Monopoly House (Green for 3)
