@cyanight:

I see, that makes sense.Â I might separate the images for you. Thanks again for creating them :)

I grouped them all in illustrator before saving it as a PDF, so I’m not sure if you’ll be able to edit it.

YG, very nice job. I downloaded them this morning and had Staples print them out for me. I have my own cutting board so now I’m all set. Thank you sir.

Awesome SEP!, are you planning on laminating them or is the card stock thick enough?

YG,

I know this is basically a whole different subject, but did you ever finish/revise/conclude your G40 Delta cards?

I really liked the concept and wanted to tool around with it a bit myself. Your choice of artwork for the cards was something I found especially appealing. Any chance you can tell me where you found most of those illustrations? Or did you just search google for images?

Thx.

These look Great YG! Keep up the good work.

Perhaps we could host these files on www.iwillnevergrowup.com for you as well? Spread the word a little more?

Just searched on google images, however, depending on your choice of search words… you could get a whole different set of the same type of images. For example: if you search WW2 art, you will get some nice illustrations, and if you search WW2 artwork, you will get some different ones. I had a lot of fun creating Delta Deck, but it was a lot of work too, unfortunately our play tests didn’t workout well at all, but KNP had some nice ideas on how to use it and I would like to explore it again in the future, no immediate plans though.

Absolutely, lets do it… I love your site.

In case this is of any interest, LHoffman: when YG was working on his Delta / NO deck, I posted a number of pictures here in case any of them turned out to be useful for the project. I don’t recall if any of them were used, and I can’t find the thread where they were posted – so what I’ve done below is posted a collection of thumbnail versions of those pictures. If a few of them are pictures you’d like to use yourself, let me know which ones and I’ll post their full-size version.

I remember using 3 of those images in my deck.

Okay, thank you. I did some preliminary searches yesterday and discovered that to be the case (about using certain words). I will see what I can find.

As I said somewhere, the Delta Cards reminded me very much of the National Advantages from Revised. I always liked playing with them, since they added another flavor to the game. Never did a lot of study to determine if they could legitimately throw a game one way or another, I just thought they were fun.

Actually, that would be great Marc, thank you.

Took a look at them and if you could post the following, I would appreciate it:

Churchill Tanks Production Line
Tankograd
Kamikaze
Shipyard
Ruby Loftus Breech Ring
Around the Clock Bombing

At this point, I am just trying to gather images that I like in the vein of what YG did. Thanks again.

Okay – I’ll post them one or two at a time (which is the posting limit) in separate messages. Â The new forum server has been causing me picture-posting problems, so I may need to take a few cracks at it before the pictures all get properly attached.

Edit: Done. The posting trick that seems to work is to post the message first, then go back and modify it to add the picture attachment. For some reason, posting the message and the picture simultaneously causes the system to get hung up for a couple of minutes and to generate an error message. Strange.

Here is the delta deck thread… it might help you with image selection when searching for them online.
