1940 reference cards

@Tjoek:

Well done! It looks like you reused some original artwork as the background of these ref. cards. Did you extract this from one of the manuals?

Yep, I used the PDF of the manual, copied the cover into my photo editing software, and clipped a portion of it to use as a background for my cards.

The finished product showed up in the mail today.  Boardgamesmaker did a fantastic job.  These turned out really well.  The cards are thin, but have a durable plastic feel to them.  The reference charts are 5"x7", so shouldn’t take up a lot of table space.

I also had them print me some additional Italy and Germany control makers, as well as some task force markers and cards.  The whole setup ran me about $50, including shipping.  Probably not the cheapest option, but I’m quite happy with the product.  If you’re looking for something similar, the links to my source files, and the respective links to the products at boardgamesmaker.com are in the thread above.

Really nice work! Would you be so kind to share to design files?

I think I didn’t express myself clearly. I was hoping you could share your original design file with seperate layers so I will be able to create translations into Dutch and create some other reference cards in the same style.

Ah, yes.  I understand now.

I created them using OpenOffice Draw.  Let me see about posting the source files.

I added the source files to the folders above.  They are the ODG files, which can be opened with OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

Thanks! It works for me.

@TheMarshall I love your cards, I’m interested in buying the full set. Even the production cards and Political charts. Thank you, email Mackey371@gmail.com

@TheMarshall I just ordered me a set, total of 52 cards and I also got the RC… I can’t wait till I get my hands on these. A must have for G40. The game will be better then the anniversary edition.

@themarshall Are you the creator of those circles (kind of look like a target)…I have another player aid with those that are on an 11x17" card. Just wondering who created those.

@themarshall Wow, I registered here just to say thank you for this. What an outstanding job buddy!
