Gaming Aid Revised: SIDE A (Game Progression Check List) SIDE B (DEPLOYMENT GUIDE)

I have seen a some interest in my gaming aid since I have been carrying it around with me lately; locally and also got an email recently.

So I revised it. I removed the Chaos tables and included graphics of the three deployment options.

Side A has the pre-game progression on it; including end of game rolls, night fight etc.

Side B has three graphics on how to set up in the three deployments...key here being "Vanguard" which seems to stump more than a few...myself included initially.

Just click on pic below for the Google file. I printed mine with a color printer. Laminated it. Then I use it for a book mark in my small rule book...generally in the Psychic power section.

SIDE A:

Here are some finished shots side by side to the rule books for size reference:

Here you can see SIDE B on left in the bottom pic. These are laminated and ready to go. I made two. I have a 2000 point game set up today with a bud and he doesn't know it yet, but he is getting a BDS40K Game Aid.

Hope you find this helpful and thanks for the read,
