New primary and secondary objective cards?

[turtle]

I'm making a new series of objective cards, pretty much just like the ones on the website but these will be formatted for standard playing cards or magic cards, these can then be printed, cut, and slipped into card protectors.

Can you guys recommend some good new secondary objectives beyond the ones listed in the main rule book?

I've made some changes to the main rulebook ones, such as making "Destroy the Abomination" into a more general, "Destroy the Experimentals" that all sides can take. Likewise Field Test is now just one entry. The idea is to make a large single deck that all players pull from.

While making these changes, I noticed that the deck cards on the site are different from the ones in the main rule book, which objective rules are the most up to date? For example, in the book the Capture objective says that the model chosen must be an individual, on the cards it says it must be a veteran, elite, or hero.

Since I'm making a deck, what would you recommend as the distribution of cards in it? 3 or 4 of each "basic" objective along with more specific special objectives?

I also noticed that we could use some simpler Primary Objectives to allow more quicker pickup games. These can also be made into a deck. Anyone have recommendations or ideas?

Heck, there can be new set of primary objectives that work like secondary objectives, where players both pull from the deck to find their primary objective, but must reveal them and leave them face up on the table.

I've been thinking of making some really nice objective cards from ArtsCow.com using their playing card feature. Lots of people at boardgamegeek.com have spruced up lots of various games with playing-card style decks of cards.

All I'm lacking is the time to do this. I would like to make a couple of sets and use them as prizes/give-aways.

If anyone could get the formatting done I would buy several sets.

Excellent Idea and they are quite cheap!

Dear Darksonites- are there any more secondary order cards coming up with the expnasion book that we should know about so we can pad out a deck of 54 with?

These would make great unit stat cards too but that is a bit more work.

Those are cheap, but overkill and can't be easily added to as OtW articles come out. Just print out some cards on cardstock, cut them out, and stick them in sleeves (or use them normally without sleeves). This way, as OtW articles come out, and expansions too, you can easily add new cards by sticking newly printed cards in sleeves.

I just thought up a simple new secondary objective:

Recon

Choose 3 terrain features on the enemy player's half of the table, then write them down on a piece of paper and place it with this card. You must have any model spend one whole turn within the boundaries of a chosen terrain feature. Once you have done this you have reconnoitered the terrain feature. By the end of the game you must have reconnoitered all 3 chosen terrain features to complete this objective.

You should make it at least 2 turns.

I agree with the two turns thing... otherwise something like a Cav Detachment with Scouts and Keep moving can be done first turn! (well, nearly!)

Oh wow. Okay, so 2 turns. Also Rocket troops can easily accomplish that secondary objective.

Yes, I believe there are three new secondary objectives in the Occult Expansion. Pretty much all of them have to do with killing supernatural creatures and/or keeping them alive.

With the downloadable ones from the website, the Psi Experimental 2'ry objective has the words Tesla Device in it... just thought I should point that out!

Are these still available somewhere? I need a copy. Anyone make the same for Bounty? I'll be asking in that forum as well.

Hi I am also looking for a copy of the secondary objective cards... can't find them in the download section of the website?

[varagon]

I've got some, but was asked to not put them on the site till the formatting is done.

Try PMing the creator.

Thankyou.
