ohh i like the the -1 can it apply to the Romanian mountain troops too. | ||||
| Sharpe |
It's my standard mountain troop ability. I'll get to the Vanatori soon. | ||||

Would it be better phrased as " roll 1 less attack die " instead of " get -1 attack die"? Maybe the latter can be confused with " get -1 on each die" which is also common in other SAs. Not sure. Just wondering. | ||||
| NeuralDream |
Also, why specifically the 2/39 regiment? Would other evzones have different stats?
And a nice image for the card maker. Doing their famous charge against the Julia division and yelling their battlecry "Aera".

where is there pretty skirts

I used the 2/39 for the Sharpedia unit. The reason is lost in the mists of history. As I learn more about other Evzones, I would make different cards. | ||||
| NeuralDream |
I see. Then, we'll need specialised photo for each of the regiments. Hm, that will be a bit tough.
Btw, for Raevski: The nice 1920s skirts gave way to the more boring 1940s look 
1920s

Ohh well at least they have funky shoes | ||||

We're going to have to use units as names if we keep updating units over the course of the war. | ||||

Well, not if we have other better alternatives like "Carcano Riflemen" or "Stormfusiliers" or whatever. These names are a little more generalized than units as names. |

See thread on naming decision. |

AoD--> Great job.
1. I don't think the Greeks used the "th" after numbers. We would read this as 2nd Batt of 39 th Reg, but it's actually the 2nd evzone rgt and 39th ingf regt. ND will set us straight. 2. Please change 2nd SA to "Enemy units roll 1 fewer Attack Die . . . " Thanks |

Fixed name, pic and SA text.
and here is a suggestion for a name: 
This gives us the flavor of the specific unit (Evzone) with out naming a specific regiment. Using Regiment in the title is a little confusing considering that it is a fire team of 4-5 guys. Also, I am not completely up to speed on my Evzone history, but what if, for example, the 2/39 never fought in a certain battle or against a certain opponent, that may not be a big deal but some people may see that as a historical snafu. I'm not trying to reopen the naming debate, just make a suggestion for a small modification. Anyways, just my opinion, you know what they say about those! |

| Sharpe |
Even though I was stupid enough to put it in the title. 
|
||||
| Sharpe |
Card looks good and good suggestion about the name. | ||||
| NeuralDream |
Actually, in WoTC nomenclature it's "... one less attack die ...".
Why is the image b&w?! |
||||
| Sharpe |
"fewer" is correct English Grammar
Fewer is used for discrete things "I want fewer lumps of sugar." Less is used when you can't actually count the object "I want less sugar." I would prefer not to leave behind a legacy of illiteracy. |
||||
| NeuralDream |
No problem with fewer, but using "less" for the special case of one is widely recognised as an unofficial exception. For example, nobody says "One fewer thing to worry about". In any case, my comment referred to consistency with AAM cards and not to grammar. I'm ok with both .
|
||||
| Sharpe |
Nobody except me. Again it's no biggie. I just don't want to be sloppy because WoTC is. |
||||

I noticed that AoD was changing the color pics to b&w for the cards, I assumed I missed a card designers meeting about that so I followed suit. Its an easy fix, you tell me what you want boss. |
||||
| NeuralDream |
Leave the images as they are. The specific one is a painting and it would be "cheating" to make it look like a real photo IMO. Also, if you could press Enter between first and second S.A. that would be great . Another think that you need to do before publishing the locked cards (later) is to delete the columns and rows that are unnecessary. In this case it's the AA row.
