Uncharted Seas Squadron Card Playing Aid

[amikulaschek]

A friend and I decided to design some 3x5 squadron cards for Uncharted Seas.  The idea is simple, we wanted to avoid all the tokens on the table and have status check boxes on the cards for each ship in the squadron.  The links below are to the 2MB files (600x600dpi).

Feedback is VERY much appreciated.  Combined I don't think we've played more than a dozen games, so some of you more experienced players might have some insight on things we did wrong.

I was the Marine Complement, Experienced Captain,Squad of Sharpshooters, etc. where did you get those? Are the "official"? I would guess part of the "revised" rules or something. Unless y'all know something I don't know.

They came from the Flagship rules in the workbench area.

Very cool. From where do you have Background? Will you made the same for the other nations?

We used these in our game on Friday night, they work wonderfully.
Laminate them, and you can just use a dry erase marker to track everything!

Impressive work - thank you very much - these will be excellent play aids - maybe they could even become official!

I like them and probably will do something simular, it would make easier for me to keep track of ship issues.  I would still like to see tokens out so everybody can see damage for each unit.

This is sooooo awesome! 

Great stuff mates!

Now if You could please make some of these for my beloved Thaniras Elves as well?

They are a great idea. Nice work indeed.

Nicely done!  I'd have to try them in action - I'm a bit torn between the cleaner playing field and being able to tell at a glance which ships are damaged but overall a great idea.

Actually, you could probably use a hybrid system where a ship gets a single small marker to show that it's no longer at full hull and leave it at that.  Then if you want to know more details about how hurt it is you consult the card.

Now get to work on the other races!
