G40 National Objective card deck accessory

[cyanight]

Well said YG and I agree should be separate cards for each nation.

@Narvik:

Only a few people are aware of this, but the Denmark Strait between Greenland and Iceland was in fact a secret German convoy route to the South American trade marked, so yes it is definitely worth a 5 IPC no

The Denmark Straight was also a breakout route used by German raiders to get into the Atlantic; Admiral Lutjens, notably, used it twice, the first time with Scharnhorst and Gneisenau and the second time with Bismarck and Prinz Eugen. It’s where the battle with Hood and Prince of Wales was fought. But my point was simply that (to my knowledge) the Denmark Straight isn’t an OOB national objective. The narrow sea passage between Norway, Denmark and Sweden is called the Kattegat at its southern end and the Skagerrak at its northen end, if that’s what YG was referring to.

This is one of those catch titles that should allow laymen players to identify the OOB German NO for control of Denmark and Norway while Sweden is niether pro-allied, or allied controlled. If there’s an equal or simpler term to use different than what has been provided, I will consider it… but our group always calls it the Denmark Straight NO. I also believe that’s what the OOB rule book calls that passage as well, even though the NO theme is different.

The rulebook actually uses the phrase “Danish Straits”.  But anyway, it’s entirely up to you what you choose to call this passage.  I was just trying to figure out if you were referring to some sort of rule that applied to SZ122, or if it was simply a geographic terminology issue.

No problem.  I’ve seen enough war movies to understand the principle that artistic license sometimes has to take priority over strict historical accuracy, and I respect that.  When I point out (potential) issues that have caught my attention, it’s not with the aim of convincing you to change a particular house rule detail (after all, your rules are yours to do with as you please) but just to make sure you’re aware of something that might simply be an oversight rather than an intentional artistic compromise.  If it bothered me to have some of these sugggestions turned down, I wouldn’t be taking the trouble to make them in the first place.

Amusing footnote: I once head a military historian complain that it can negatively impact one’s career to agree to be a consultant for a movie because the following happens frequently:  Professor So-and-so agrees to be the historical consultant for a military-themed movie.  He reviews the script, finds a bunch of errors (both subtle and outrageous) and points them out to the director.  The director replies, “Well, yes, you’re right, but cinematically it would be more effective and exciting to leave the script as it is.”  The movie gets shot according to the script, and then gets released.  All the historians and history buffs in the audience groan at the mistakes, then notice that the end credits say “Historical Consultant: Professor So-and-so”, and they conclude that Professor So-and-so is an incompetent historian.

I’ve gotten lots of requests lately for my NO deck, so I had to bump this thread for easy reference.

Trying to finish this deck, so I had to bump the thread… appologies.

Hi,

We use these. I made them after I saw one of your videos and couldn’t find any NO-cards for the second edition for download. www#mediafire#com/download/7dtxrwxnbe0n2pe/A&A_NO_pdf.tar.gz

We also use War Cards to show whos in war with who: www#mediafire#com/download/oeby87i8esm122e/A&A_G40_War_Cards_-_pdf.tar.gz (replace the #s with dots (.))

Also since we haven’t played the game much, I wanted to create a “briefing file” for every country, with a overview/list of the National objectives which is a bit more visual than the lists in the manual.

Did these links work for other? I can’t seem to connect with them.

[Stormtrooper]

It worked for me don’t forget to delete the two # and replace with .

[Stormtrooper]

Hey NilOGrav great work I love them. I printed one out in A4 size and it seems too large, what size are they made for just to save me some time experimenting. Thanks

[NilOGrav]

Hi Stormtrooper,

Thanks for the compliment, glad you liked them.

They are supposed to be printed on A6 (quarter of A4), although they are designed on A5. But that was for convenience during the process of creating them.

There are some minor errors though, which I will be correcting:

• The German title Oberfellherr is non-existent and will be changed to Feldmarschall or Generalfeldmarschall, depends on the length of the line.
• The 6 IPC text of the Chinese NO has the same color as 5 IPC text on other cards.
• Some pictures are strechted to the edges of the paper and have to be aligned to the maximum margins and the white border has to be cut off.

BTW use them anyway you like, the original files are included as well (www#mediafire#com/download/zcjf495wirizjrb/A&A_NO_odt.tar.gz and again replace # with .)
