Blast of randomness from the past! November 9, 2008 at 8:47 am
Back in 2nd edition, Warhammer 40000 included a deck of ‘Strategy Cards’ which added a degree of randomness to the game by granting players extra abilities or units, or allowed them to perform certain actions at specific times during the game, like saving a character from certain death, calling down an orbital barrage, or receiving much-needed reinforcements when a unit is destroyed.
Well, some of that randomness can now return… I have just added a deck of Strategy Cards to the Downloads section. These are mostly based on the 2nd edition versions, updated to fit the 5th edition rules, with a few additions of my own.
Players are dealt a card per thousand points (or part thereof) at the start of the game, and hang onto them to spring on their opponent at the best (or worst, depending on your viewpoint) moment.
You can find the cards here
Where’s the PDF for the strategy cards? The links are dead!
The links were from the old website… Hadn’t been updated yet. Fixed now.
