In the army we used to use Aide Memoires quite a lot. For those who have not come across them before they're a sort of handy summary of things that helps you to remember stuff you've been taught.
Anyway, being very new to WoW and having never really war-gamed in the past both my wife and I were finding it more and more difficult to to get to grips with all the rules. In a fortnight we have gone form having never seen a WoW game to having miniatures, doing ground attacks whilst being shot at, and using basic altitude rules. So it was all starting to get a bit confusing.
To help us overcome this problem I wrote out an Aide Memoire that covers the rules we have learnt so far and also added in a bit of poetic licence where I felt it was needed. Using it saves us both having to continually try to claw our way through the rule book to find the appropriate regulations in any given situation.
If this is a new idea for you I have attached mine for your perusal. It's spread over three pages which cover Movement (including altitude and overlapping), Additional Damage and Firing. I'm afraid they're written in English English so those of you who speak American English will have to forgive me for that. For now they only cover rules that we need although I expect I will have to add to them a bit especially when we get around to shooting down balloons!
If you want to please feel free to take them and modify them for your own use. Also please point out to me any glaring mistakes I have made.
