Also, your cards are for 300 point armies, whereas many people play with 500 point armies.

Again, the idea is great, but I think it is something where you could share the "concept" and leave it up to everyone (who wants to) to make their own Pre-Built Draft Cards.
Right now I'm re-aranging the cards in the PDF to create seperate pages for different collections of figures. So far I have two pages of just Master Set figures in the 300 pt range. At the top of each page, It will tell you what Waves are included on the page. This way, players can just print the pages that they want. (Those who have part of a wave can print the page and only cut out the ones they have)

Of course there would also be cards that contain more than one Wave.

The main reason I am going to do this project is that the cards will also be used for custom Campaign Rules that I am working on. The idea being that you would build your own deck of cards from the cards of your choice. (almost like Magic: the Gathering) Then when you select re-incforcements, (once per campaign turn) you would draw from your own deck a certain number of cards (based on the # of territories that you hold) and select from those to add to your re-inforcements. When a battle occurs, you would select from your "hand" of Draft Cards and get to use those figures in the battle.

I plan to include a "blank card" page that would allow players of the campaign to create thier own army builds, to ensure that they have the kinds of armies they really like in thier deck.

EDIT: I'm thinking of scraping the numbering system on the final cards and just use names, since the decks will all be "custom built" by the players.[/b]
