CtA Card Backs

By shadowdreamer, in Battlelore

Guys,

Apologies for posting this as I guess it has been answered in the past and I actually recall seeing something about it when I first found Battlelore but I can't recall the details. Anyway on to the query:

My wife/opponent/chain lightning killer recently purchased CtA as a present for me, and I noticed that the backs on the specialist cards are the same as the deployment cards. However in the manual it clearly shows them being different. Now do I have a duff set, or was the manual a misprint? If the cards are meant to have a different back did DoW ever have a solution and if so does anyone know if I can still take advantage of it?

Whilst on the topic does anyone know of any problems in any other runs of the expansions as I have them arriving shortly (I hope) and would like to know they are all ok even though they may not get played for a few months whilst we work our way through them all.

This was only a problem with Call to Arms. Basically, it zigged while the others zagged. :) It has no effect on gameplay and you needn't worry about it. DoW offered a set of replacement cards for Call to Arms so they'd all match, but this is really only needed by the extremely anal retentive (I confess that I did request a set of the cards but if I knew then what I knew now, I probably wouldn't have bothered).

Thaad should be able to replace the cards with cards with the correct backs.

As to other things to look out for - there's a wrong set of flags in the Goblin Marauders expansion. Blue bow cav - where it should be green. Once again DoW replaced these for us - and FFG should be able to do the same if they have the spares.

Honestly, FFG have GREAT customer service - people sing their praises all the time and I had a couple of replacement spiders for Descent within a week of asking.

Any other things to look out for ? well - just get your boiling water ready for Scottish Wars - iirc - not a single lance was straight in my pack.

Enjoy the game !
