Grasshopper's National Objective Card Deck

The various versions of Axis & Allies optionally require some sets of cards that more practically represent some features of the game mentioned in the rulebooks. They cover the regular versions but also some improvised adaptations.
The sets presented here consist of separate photos for each card, and some of them are from edits of single decks posted by other members. Also featured are some new back covers.
The following cards can be printed on any website that prints and sends cards such as e.g. the MPC (makeplayingcards.com).

A) National Objectives and Bonus Income
They are normally available in versions: Anniversary, and 1940 SE (Europe etc).
i) Anniversary 50th - National Objectives and Bonus Income Cards
The following set of cards is printable in Poker size 2.5"×3.5" (63.5×89mm):

With the addition of a few extra cards to the Global set this can be used for both the separate AA Europe 1940 SE as well as the Pacific 1940 SE versions. These have the corresponding symbol “E” for Europe and “P” for the Pacific at the top right and replace the corresponding card from the Global set.

B) National Advantages and Technologies:
i) The National Advantages feature is normally only present in the Revised (2004) version but they were also introduced in the customized Anniversary Upgraded Version designed and posted in 2018 by member Dagon81 at the link:

I supplemented this presentation in 2022 with sets of similar cards for the Revised (2004) and adapted it for the Spring 1942 and 1942 SE, omitting the 1940 SE versions.

ii) The Technologies feature is normally available in: Revised (2004), Anniversary and Global 1940 SE. I created card sets for these and adapted them for the Spring 1942 and 1942 SE versions as well.
They are printable in Poker card size 2.5"×3.5" (63.5×89mm), presented in the links:

It should be noted that in some sets a slight deviation from the border of the red dashed line was preferred in order to keep the original size and quality of the subject unchanged but also not to have too large margins around the main subject of the cards, which would look something like this:

Are the arrows small enough to fit on the rudder?

Sorry for the late reply guys, although I have been developing rules regarding multi turn builds… those cards are not for that. The cards you are asking about are for really huge navies that don’t fit in small sea zones… so they are blowup boxes (not my most creative idea… lol).

I plan on printing some out from Siredblood’s link.  I watched his video and you can certainly do it that way.  My only concern with adhesive backed “stickers” is that with all the handling of game pieces, I can imagine that the stickers begin to peel up after a while. If you’re going to use the adhesive backed stickers, might I recommend to apply thin CA glue around the outside edge of the sticker after you’ve burnished it down on the carrier deck.  You can get some thin CA at your local hobby shop where they sell RC planes, or just order it online.  Because it is literally as thin as water, you’ll need to apply it with some sort of makeshift precision applicator.  But after that, you won’t have to deal with annoying stickers that don’t want to stay down tight.

Also, if you use a glossy type sticker paper, after you’ve applied it and the carrier is “all done”, spray the entire piece with a light coat of Testor’s Dullcote spray laquer.  You’ll get rid of the sheen both on the plastic and from the glossy paper. All the colors will “blend” together and the piece will look much better.  :wink:

@Dafyd:

THAT IS SO COOL!  That is truly incrdible detail.Â

thanks Dafyd…this was my first post of the bombers but it screwed up, I have the other thread with the same title with more of them painted if you liked this one.

@jwo1984:

Yeah that’s understandable. I’m the same too with the bulk of pieces already painted it really takes a new HBG expansion set to get my brushes out again. Or right now my buddy and I are trying out Guadalcanal for the first time. And I noticed the US start out with a generous amount of b17 fortresses so I wanted to repaint some for the game. Well whenever you get inspired again I will look forward to more showcases from you.

I hope I can get to it… maybe after a few things clear out of my schedule in the coming weeks. I always feel the need to paint when I see the cool stuff you guys are working on.

Following up:

I went out and bought a can of chrome spray-paint from a Blick arts-and-crafts store, and did a few tests on some B-17’s…

I’ll post pictures if anyone wants to see them.  It looks great.  Nice, even coating… very lustrous.  With some added details I think my late-war aircraft are going to look amazing.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.
