The North West Frontier Event Deck

What is The North West Frontier Event Deck

The heart of the Deck is content of each Card. The challenges to the players on both sides of the Crags are sharper than ever, but are still "even" for both sides. As with all TVAG Event Decks, these are not your Monopoly "Chance Cards," nor are the effects of each the same from game to game--severities and benefits vary across a wide spectrum.

And the whimsy is still there... and the fun and a hint of Hollywood, too, but never so much as to spoil the game.

If playing in Afghanistan, Native Reinforcements can include Regular Foot, Horse, or Guns--but not so if elsewhere on The Grim. If the battle is in Winter, Blizzards and Frostbite can affect both sides, but the Imperials worst of all. British troops can even be introduced to the charms of the Camel Spider, the Pathan Rock Fall, and Jezail armed Snipers, while Afghan/Pathan Tribesmen can find their Black Powder is soot and ash sold them by an Infidel Dog, or that their Mullah's have one battle plan and their Hill Chieftain another, or that the Gurkha's facing them are going to blood their Kukri's today, no matter the cost!

And besides these and so many more jolly moments that could never appear in a standard war games scenario, there is a new feature in the NWF Event Deck added as a tribute to the late author of The Sword And The Flame
