Personally I would prefer to keep the limited availability of the
cards.
I speak both as a Marine Player (Dark Angel) and a Chaos player, the
way I
see it is as follows:
Marines have no cards, although some squads have specialist
equipment and
skills, there is not enough to justify something as potent as a
strategy
card which would have too much influence on the game. Instead we can
safely
assume that these are represented in the actual stats of this unit.
What
would determine the amount of cards the marines would get?
Chaos has cards to represent the fickle nature of the Chaos gods, as
a chaos
player I would not mind if players wanted to place a limitation on
the cards
which introduced a chance of the beneficary of a defensive chaos card
becoming a mindless chaos spawn. The amount of these cards is
limited by the
amount of Greater Daemons.
Orks have cards to represent the sheer amount of weird but dangerous
(too
both sides) technology employed by the Mekboyz, and the amount of
these
cards is limited by the amount of Mekboyz.
Eldar have amazing tech, but it is standardised, and reliable enough
to just
be included as increased statistics, therefore they do not require
cards.
The Slaan armylist does not require cards, instead I would prefer
that they
could buy modular unit upgrades which took up a support card slot, I
would
also be happy for the other standard races (Marines, Eldar, Squats)
to gain
these. Whilst the Slaan ones could increase statistics, the Marine
ones for
example could be represented by cards which replaced a detachments
Rhinos
with Drop pods/Razorbacks/Land Raiders/A thunderhawk, or upgraded a
terminators land raiders to crusaders/ability to teleport, or even
Land
Speeders to Typhoon Landspeeders etc.
Just my two cents, I feel that the above changes would retain the
main
benefits of the NetEpic game, whilst introducing some of the more
modular
advantages of the Epic 40k system.
Tom.
