Aircraft Cards
When I first started I used the normal ID card and simply put my painted plane on to it. I then realised I was never going to play with the card so didn't need the plan view or the shooting arc. So I got an old recce photo and superimposed the plane on to it. Then, why on earth did I still have the black arrow! Now it has gone.

Very nicely done, George. Could you please describe shortly how to do it and which software you use for this purpose?

I used the basecard from the Files section here. Then I cut out the background I wanted and superimposed it on the original. Then I took a photograph of the plane, cut around it and them pasted it into the card file and moved and shrank it until I got what I wanted. Then I changed the info, I just put a B if the two seater has B front and back, no point in complicating things.
I use Photoshop for this stuff. I had thought of just designing a whole new card but my skills are rusty and it is time consuming.
Using these people can see at once which plane is theirs in a confused melee.
Well done nice cards.
That's a nice take on the cards, and certainly a good aid for players to quickly ID their planes.

I really like the photo background. Almost makes me wish Ares had used them on their cards.
Thats really inventive, George. Very nicely done.
Very ingenious George, and as the other chaps say a very good game aid for newbies especially at shows.
Also a nice decorative touch to the visual impact of the game.

Great job. Someday I might be a smart as you guys in here.
