@Azimuth yeah, I understand the challenge, I’m a graphic designer and I was playing around with a circular map design when I stumbled upon yours. I still might finish my design as I was incorporating some map changes I found interesting. But so far I think I’ll need some blow up boxes or something to make it work at a reasonable size.
AA50 National Advantages
-
So are these available yet? I would really like to get these cards done for our game day at the end of Feb.
Thanks. These look great.

Ok, done! Just download and print them on A4 international paper sheets.
B is the common back.

So, what do you think of the advantages?
-
Does it work 4 global
-
Please make them available as playing cards…check out Artscow which can make them for like $8 bucks a deck. Also not fond of the Italian roundel, I would use the same roundel that the game uses for the backs of playing cards…
-
Awesome cards Dagon, was going to print up a test run set.
-
Yes, I can convert them to playing cards. As to the italian roundel I dont like the one from the game but I have a second card back version with all the roundels that come with the game. Anyone played with these cards already? I’m not sure these work with the global game, some cards are specific for AA50…

Great job with the cards. I have read this thread before but I haven’t been able to play AA50 in months and to try those out. There are a few ones that bother me a bit though because I think they are too powerful:
U.S. Advantages:
� Superfortresses � Your bombers are immune to antiaircraft fire. An enemy antiaircraft gun can roll one die against only each attacking fighter. (If no fighters are in the attacking force, the antiaircraft gun cannot fire). When conducting strategic bombing raids your bombers have a defense value of 1.
This means basically that the US can simply apply a bombing strategy against Germany/Italy to defeat it. I always dislike this because of how it can turn the game into a bombing strategy.
� Escort Cruisers � Your cruisers act as sea AA guns. Before battle roll 1 die if you have at least one cruiser in the hostile sea zone.
I assume 1 die per plane, which essentialy gives the US a huge advantage over Japan on the Pacific by increasing its defense against Japan’s planes.
-
The superfortresses may be intercepted by fighters, using my rules, you may defend a bombing raid if you have at least 1 fighter and an operational airbase in that territory.
As to the escort cruisers, so far, it hasn’t proved to be a too powerful advantage, but if so, you may roll only one dice for each cruiser.

Fair enough for the Superfortresses.
Just the prospect of having to face the AA roll for all planes is a big disadvantage for Japan because it will become a highly risky affair to attack a US fleet with planes. Since the goal of the US on the Pacific is to advance this gives them a big advantage over Japan.
-
One of Japan’s advantage is 3 hit battleships and on AA50 japan’s fighters are neverending… another advantage I considrerd for the US was Pacific interdiction, similar to the German Atlantic interdiction using submarines to remove IPCs from Japan’s total…

Ok, finally! You can print the cards, the rules and tuckboxes if you want.
Originally I had 54 cards, but each 18 card template file was bigger than their maximum 50 mb so had to remove some cards from each file (black rows) and add another 18 card template (also added 6 more cards, so 60 useble in a total 72) so each file now is below 50 mb… Tried to zip and rar the files… not enough… this was the only way to print these cards… even tried to contact them many times… no response.
I haven’t printed them yet, as I have to pay international shipping… anyone interested in printing these, just download the files and upload them on their website:

Links no workie :(
-
Wow these are great :-D, I wish I had AA50 to play so I could use these cards :-(
-
any chance to repost the cards
-
Bummer, was really looking forward to these - links not linked… errr, dysfunctional. Isn’t there anyway to get a hold of these files so that a person might print them out on their own? Better yet - modify the text? For a couple reasons - I’d like to use my own particular paper/card stock, everyone has their own particular house rules and certain cards will not work with them - so I wouldn’t bother printing them unless they can be altered to fit, and cost - DIY is always cheaper.
-
I would just use the cards you want to use. Either way they look great and would love to download them and give it a try.
-
They do look awesome.

Good evening,
Alright guys, many of you have been asking for these cards since long time ago and at some point I lost the files as they were stored on an external drive that stopped working for good back then. Finally had some time so decided to redo them all over again (!)… similar but slightly different design, tried to get similar or the same images… lots of hours on this. So finally here it is:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wli8ficivgzh28y/AADLVC127x_UTCC5F2aAcIW7a?dl=0
The files are ready for printing on this online printing shop as poker card templates:
Hope you like them, just post any comments or changes on them.
Sorry for taking so long, really needed time for this project.
