As with those for other TSATF games, this 52 card Action Deck prompts the order of movement and fire, as well as severity of casualties, from “Lightly Wounded” to “Dead.”
But, TSIA’s rules call for use of a standard deck of playing cards to be read in ways different from the traditional TSATF game model. However, this dedicated Action Deck eliminates all need to consult the rules on how to read the cards, and includes special rules frequently overlooked in the heat of play (such as hits on previously wounded figures, and the risk of death from poisoned weapons). There are also six special cards to cue rolling in the basic game for "Random Episodes."
More unique period graphics and an extra card with simple instructions and options for use of the Action Deck round out the set.
