Re my advancing unit - apparently I've just heard you can't use a fire team to scout ahead on a Potential Contact card  :Loser:

Guess what - I am actually thinking about buying card sleeves for this game. There is alot of card handling in this game.

But also guess what - card sleeves come in packs of 100. There's 102 action cards in FoF and FoF Vol 2! This is one of these times when I think someone in the board gaming industry (GMT in this case) went into cohoots with someone else in the card sleeve industry and said "If you pay something towards development of this game, I'll make the stack have 51 cards instead of 50 - that way people have to buy two packs  f :censored: b :censored:

And no - I'm not really that mad about it...

If you do, here are my two tips on card sleeving:

1) Use these: Dragon Shield Sleeves Matte Card Game, Clear if you can find them. The matte backing helps prevent them from sliding. They will eventually stop sliding as you use them, but these sleeves will accelerate the process.

2) Sleeve the cards and place them in a stack on a table. After that, place something very, very heavy on top of the stack. Leave them like that for around three days.

Too late on the recommendation...but appreciated all the same.

Thanks for the tip on squashing them.
