Morning,

So I managed to get some of these cards but noticed they go from
11 to 66. It seems odd they don't start at 1?

Has anyone got these and have cards 1 to 10 so I can see if anything is missing?

Thanks

Have you not read the rulebook on how they're used...?

Rulebook is sat next to me and I'm starting to ingest it now over a nice cup of tea.

Just a simple question of something that in face value struck me as odd.

I'm guessing by response that its correct so thanks in a roundabout way.

My guess is it's rolled for, two dice, one corresponding to the 'tens' column, and another to the 'ones' column. Obligatory disclaimer: I haven't played the game in about two years

This. There's a chart in the book. They're used in maelstrom of War missions. You don't need the cards as you can roll 2d6 for them, but the cards make life a hell of a lot easier.

Great, just seen there is no 17, 18, 19 etc etc.

Thanks guys people skills are awesome

Played a game the other day without the cards.

It's painfully slow without them. They've really become an integral part of the game.

Completely disagree. My opponents and I all felt that the cards took us out of the game mentally because we were more concerned with racking up silly maelstrom victory points than following through with a strategy to fulfill a single objective. It was as if two games were being played: 40k and whack-a-mole.

To each their own but i will not be playuing with the maelstrom cards unless they can ONLY be captured by units with Objective Secured.

You misunderstood me. I meant that the cards are needed to play those objectives. We played using the dice to decide the objectives and a piece of paper to keep track. Most of the time we had only vague ideas about what it was. At the end of each phase we went "ok, let's go back... which one was #61? Did I get that? No? ok."

The card objectives themselves is a really good idea with normal procedure 40k botch job implementation. It just turned into a game of sitting on three objectives each, hoping to get the three that was on your side.
Could have made them fun objectives. Kill an enemy model in a unit holding objective #4! Uh-oh, all of a sudden it's dangerous to hold that objective! Scamper along!
We started thinking up loads of these. Guess we should have written them down and made our own objective cards....
