Combat Cards: Space Wars...a review

As some of you may remember a few months ago I picked up several sets of the original Citadel Combat Cards for a pittance.  These were still new in the wrapper and I have left them that way as long as possible.  Well the time has come to open a pack and take a look...as I have been on a bit of a RT 40K right now I thought I would start with the Space Wars pack.

Lets have a look!

Here they are new in the package...yep!  Still on the card and everything!

Here is the back of the package which you can see has a brief set of rules for a simple card game using the combat cards.  Back in the day my boys and I played this game on a regular basis for a few weeks...I remember it being too basic to be interesting in the long term but we had fun with it for awhile...and lets face it the eye candy was the important part anyway...:)

Temptation...the third...

After James's recent article about Combat Cards I stumbled onto this group if them on eBay and threw in a low ball snipe...I had owned the Dwarf and Goblinoid ones back in the day...but lost them over the years....anyway picked up four packs for about $3!  

But the aren't OPENED! The Goblinoids one is off its card so I might as well open that one.  The others....I'll hold off as long as possible but I'm sure they'll get cracked open before too long...

Cheers,
