Storage for cards

**Spoonfrog** · 06-13-2022 08:36

After being dissatisfied with the layout of the original WoW box sets and putting up with it for a while, I have decided to have a go at some custom storage. The aim is to combine into one box and to have easy access to aircraft and manoeuvre cards without having to pick up a whole pile and sort through them (which the original boxes require). Here is the plan. Not sure where to put the range rulers... Maybe on top of the damage decks...

Dome, do you know the trick with Codenames boardgame box? There is an insert right for it and it fits perfectly for WoW/WoG.

Look forward to seeing what you come up with, Dom. Storage is a challenge all on its own

Depending on how many planes you need to accommodate, there are lots of options. Some folks use Plano-type boxes effectively. After some trial and error, I settled on: this solution and have been very happy with it.

Dom is Cards Only, Chris - no planes need accommodating!

**Spoonfrog** · 06-13-2022 12:35

Yep, still resisting the miniatures!

Oops, no problem! Apologies. You have more willpower than me

Dom, I think Daniel’s suggestion with Codenames board game inserts might be worth checking out. I wasn’t aware of them until Daniel’s post but their website looks impressive.

I even found my own post about it

Storage of maneuvre decks and bases
Originaly I have all decks in thick foam inside the bag with my minis, but they started to be quite heavy for foam and I also need more space for my tiny preci...uhm, minis. Ladinek,LGS owner, came with an idea that our cards fits perfectly into boxfrom Codenames box and there are also a special wooden insert for it. Works very well I must say!

Organizing of card decks
Soon I had a big trouble with finding a proper deck between others, so I created special set of stripes for the game. There are four types: WGF, WGF with bases, WGS and WGS with bases. There are also How To articles for plain version and version with bases.

Others
I have also a fine experience with "Tim's" KR Multicases that I use for my SoG collection (with a backpack) + they really helped me with my questions and with designing what I should buy (= high level of client service). I can recommend them? A+

Post Scriptum: I can not take a photo or two right now (my colection is simply elsewhere), but I will upload photos later. Some of them are in linked How To articles.

And there is Kubajs's photo with pure white box.

There is one important note to remind

We in Prague Flight are meeting in LGS and need to transport our stuff with us. There is a good public transportation system in Prague, so we use metro or trams most of the time, so it is necessaty to carry it in hand or in backpack. I can imagine it could be even easier if you are playing at home or use a car all the time.

Anyway, I share the strong need to have all the cards organized and minimize boxes as much as possible. Also fell a sympathy for Dom, who has so strong will to resist miniatures.

Ooo, the codenames insert does look nice. I was intending to do everything on the cheap though, so we'll see...

**Spoonfrog** · 06-17-2022 04:59

Work in progress. I spent the princely sum of £4 for a sheet of foam core. The "case" is an old laptop box.

Very nice, Dom

**Flying Helmut** · 06-17-2022 05:40

Well, that'll do!

**Honza** · 06-17-2022 06:03

Looks good. Use hot glue for the separators, it is easy to remove yet it holds it all firmly together,

Late to this discussion, but my 5 cents.

The deck strips are customized, but sourced from here: Strips for card decks (WWI)

PS: This box currently holds all the contents of two sets of Nexus boxes: Famous Aces; Watch Your Back; Burning Drachens; Flight of the Giants; Balloon Busters; and a few booster packs. It holds all the counters and a bunch of range rulers, as well. Note: Not the Bomber base and management cards, nor the ballloon base cards.

That a nice box Mike. My problem was wanting to get the bomber cards in as well, which meant I had to go custom.

No, it's not normal...round here...!

I had a rethink and decided to keep the original boxes but make new inserts for them to make it easier to find specific aircraft and decks. I now store predominantly A firing aircraft, their corresponding manoeuvre decks and a double A damage deck in the Famous Aces box and the B firing cards in the Watch Your Back box. Each aircraft type lives next to it's manoeuvre deck, so it is easy to find everything in theory. The Burning Drachens box contains the AA guns, balloons and C & D damage decks. Flight of the Giants is for the giants and their associated bombs, targets and manoeuvre decks.
