General note on the Commander cards

Commander names – It is common that a fully detailed order of

battle is not available. In the scenario lists, the Wing commanders are

identified where they are known. However, on occasion,

commander’s names may be conjectural and based on units that were

present. If you want to swap any names to make it easier for you to

use your existing units then please feel free to amend the cards.

Army, and Higher, Commanders

These types do not normally have Commander cards as their function

is at a higher level than the actions of a Wing. They will still need

physical bases on the table.

In some instances, the Army Commander may become actively

engaged in leading a Wing rather than leading his army, for example

both Baner and Hatzfeld at Wittstock. In these instances, a Command

card is needed and has been included.

Making the cards -

You will need some reasonably stiff card and basic PVA glue.

The cards are set at 5cm wide and 7.5cm long. If you want a different

size use the scaling facility in your PDF reader or in your printer

properties.

I’ve found it easier to make the card blanks before doing any gluing.

It’s easier to trim the paper to the card than it is to trim the card to

the paper.

Glue one side of the cards first to ensure alignment. Spread your glue

evenly on one side of the card and place the long edge of your print

on to your card. Smooth the print with a soft dry cloth, or something

similar, to give a good even finish.

When you are satisfied with the alignment repeat the gluing and

smoothing for the second side.

Set aside to dry. This is an important part of the process as damp paper

can tear quite easily and it would be a shame to have to reprint the

card.
