Mike Kirby's The Campaigns in India during the Seven Years War 1756-1764 is both a useful wargaming resource for gaming the Seven Years War (SYW) in India, and is a resource book for V&B players wanting to game the period.
The Boardgame Geek overview provides a very detailed summary of the publication that is no doubt already well known to a number of V&B players.
In the book Mr Kirby suggests the use of Chance Cards to capture the flavour of the period and provides details for some. I have taken these suggestions and used a Card Generator program to generate the cards.
The artwork used is either photos of my own figures, or artwork that I believe to be in the public domain. Working is largely that used by Mr Kirby.
Most of the cards are fairly straight forward in their meaning but the card Failure of Iqbal is not that straight forward. My own clumsy research as to what the failure of Iqbal was has yielded little in the way of results.
Kirby also suggests that blank cards could be added to the pack in order to aid with the use of event cards.
I plan to print these cards out and use them for a play test. If They work well I will consider expanding the set and revisiting the art work.
