CARD UPGRADE PACK

Exactly what do the new cards do? If they are just point cost fixes, I can do that myself with labels. Can someone explain if they change anything?

Best of my knowledge. Thats it. The new points for any units released before the points changes.

They also have the close combat weapons listed with a C instead of a 1.  I dont expect them to do anything else.  Well they do help out a person like me that dont want labels on his cards.

It also includes the Loth card which you can't really get anywhere else as far as I know.

Does it include the Bot Hunters and Tank Killer cards as well? If so, I might pick it up since those are the only units I don't have. I have more than enough units to make the squads on my own. The Loth bonus is cool too, I didn't know about that one.

I know this isn't the thread for it but just going to say.... it would've been great if the Axis Medium Walker pack allowed you the option of making a Loth. I know that the Allied 'Mickey' was simpler, in that it didn't need extra parts... but would one more claw have been too much to include in the box?

[felkor 74]

Yes, it contains Bot Hunters and Tank Killers cards too.

Here's a list of all the included cards (30 total):

Sold!

Is there still at least that one typo that was mentioned in one of the other threads? There was a card that was inconsistent w/ a previous one I believe.

[Loophole Master 2]

Yeah, it seems Action Jackson is still misprinted. At least the set a guy at BGG photographed was like that....

[Ogrekin 2]

 Is there more than one of the unit cards?  I happen to have 2 or 3 of some of the older units...

 

[Major Mishap 33]

I really can't see the point in these, just change the points if you want to (but you don't need to anyway) and as said above I expect all of us will want at least 2 of one card.

Well it is only $15 from FFG and $10 on Miniature Market, so it isnt that expensive. I can see myself eventually getting this. Would make it easier to use stand in figures and not be using paper cut outs of cards.

The pack only comes with one card of each unit.  If that is what you are asking.  Action Jackson is a misprint in the pack.

[Loophole Master 2]

And the Loth has a new Army Point value. Still waiting on an answer whether that is intentional or not.

 So two possible inconsistencies so far then?

[Loophole Master 2]

As far as I noticed, yes.

Don't worry, these problems will be fixed in the Revised, Revised Card Upgrade Pack, due out early next year. 

[Peacekeeper_b 5]

Only 2? I thought this was FFG?

[player359820 0]

This is a similar problem to the Panzer Killer and Bot Hunter situations: FFG is not the main culprit here, it is Dust Studios. The product is produced and printed in China by Dust Studios with the FFG logo on it (obviously) then it comes to the USA (or where ever). It is sold as prepackaged. I fully agree that someone should catch this error along the line, but once so many are printed it might not be cost effective.

I for one will just use sticky labels to amend the point costs and errata. I have too many units to buy packs to cover them all.

Heh, which kind of kills all the "it's too expensive for FFG to print cards for Tamiya 1/48 models" excuses.  I'll be picking up one for the Loth, but otherwise, I don't see a big deal.

Actually if we could just get a PDF with said Tamiya 1/48 or other comapny (or open ended) models on it FFG would make some cash (charge, say, $5 for the PDF) and get some fans.
