Special Event Cards- AI Card creativity

 Like most gamers I guess I was looking for ways to improve the look of some of my wargame accessories so I was experimenting with AI.

For many of my games (1680-1720) I have used 'special event' cards that add flavour to a game...and create headaches for the players. Most of these were just hand written palm cards. Easy and straight forward.

But then I came across some of the capabilities of AI.....so I tried improving the look. 

Palm cards - for OOBs or Special Events.

 I had a lot of fun changing photos of my figures into cartoons and comic strips....and then making them into cards.

I spent some time using my own figures and their pictures....and I am really happy with the results.

I just have to get them printed now!....and make sure they are the correct size!

Lots more to do!

  2. TREMENDOUS! I like using event cards whenever I can justify it or the rues require it but these are on another level. What AI program do you use? Colin

  7. The force composition you chose is really clever. Balancing mobility with hitting power is always the challenge.
