Thanks for the positive feedback.Cool idea, the only thing I noticed was rear armor should be one less.
JR,You might add information on MP costs for gaining a level and perhaps on intermediate levels.

According to the card, the KV-1 M42 does not have HEAT. I am going to take him at his word. The section for HEAT FP (the pinkish area) has blanks. I would have recommended "n/a" as being clearer in case of confusion. The HE section for armored has a base TK# of 7 (and 14 on the CH), which is correct for HE TK# against armor. It has 12 FP vs soft targets. The chart seems to be mixing TK#s with IFT FP and not labeling what is what. The whole table is labeled "TK", but that isn't really true of the IFT FP.I don't understand "HE Equiv" and it's related CH so much. In C8.31, I see that these numbers come from the table under "Other Ordnance". But, I do not understand how the creator of the card at aslcard.com concluded that the HE Equiv for a KV-1 M42 76L gun is a 14. Following C8.31, I should use the IFT column "to the left of the Gun's normal HE FP". The gun's caliber is 76, which is column 12. One column to the left brings me to an 8 column. So... why does this card show a 14?
It actually says in one box, "IFE:" and in another box, "Area: 7". The KV-1 M42 has no IFE FP, and it has seven FP when fired using Area Target Type. Again I would have suggested, "IFE: n/a". I also probably would have suggested, "ATT: 7" or better, "ATT FP: 7", as ATT is a very well known abbreviation, and it would also avoid any confusion with "Area Fire," another source of grief.Lastly, I have no idea what "IFE: Area 7" (on that same card at aslcards.com) is. What is this and is it important enough to take space on an AFV card?
Elfago,Ken:
I hope this is the correct place to mention it .....
For the German PSW 234/2 AC (Puma), MP cost to cross a Hedge is 3+COT & Bog Check. Card for Puma indicates "3+COT".
Didn't check other German AC's for this, nor AC's of other nationalities.
The picture without the aamg has frontal six AF while the picture with has frontal box-six AF. Does the aamg add that much protection?UPDATE: 21 of 121 German vehicle cards complete. Doing a few a day...

The AF chart has 6 & 6 for frontal armor.

Before you add a note, you may want to do a little more research on the Pz IIIL.JR,
I do not know the answer to your question. Maybe the AAMG mount included more armor?
Regarding the 6 & 6 armor values: The card only represents one counter (always the one on the left). If there is an alternate version of the counter (in this case, with an optional AAMG), I show the counter for reference and the user will have to account for any changes to the numbers manually. I try to add a note on what the difference between the counters is (in this case, in the lower left corner, there is a note to this effect).
Are these from Broken Ground counters? For the MMP listed units (Chapter H) the 1st Pz IIIL you have is actually a Pz IIIJ (Front AF=6, SR AF=Boxed 3) whereas the Pz IIIL has both AF boxed for turret AF. The use of the 2nd depiction is a little confusing unless one understands that the note in the lower left (German MAVN B) only applies to that depiction (You also did not provide a reference to Note B, just stated it minus a reference to how you arrived at that interpretation and your note does not include its RF#).UPDATE: 21 of 121 German vehicle cards complete.

Thanks for the post, Eagle. I indeed had the wrong counter image in the card. I fixed it.Are these from Broken Ground counters?

The AF chart is still wrong.Thanks for the post, Eagle. I indeed had the wrong counter image in the card. I fixed it.
And, in the few cases that I put two counter images on a single card, the card only refers to the image on the left. It's that, or make two cards. I have chosen to consolidate at the expense of some initial confusion.
Regarding Note B, I do reference it in the upper left corner. To be honest, I am probably not being as rigorous as I should on including some of the notes. For example, in other cards, I do not necessarily include mention of the optional equipment. Just depends on whether or not I have room in the notes area.
Another example: I do not ever include note N, which describes the unit's availability in North Africa. For the users that want to know exactly the note language and any RF# or unit availability, etc. Chapter H is still the place to go. The card is primarily for use while sitting at the game table.

No, it's not, JR!The AF chart is still wrong.
JR
That's why I quote your post. It's still wrong in the one I quote. And always will be, unless I edit it.No, it's not, JR!
(I love that "Edit" option...)
