This section sits on the border between modelling and the tabletop. It holds quartet card games on technical themes, an introductory wargame, card sleeves in several formats, and resin token stickers along with holders for them. They get used in board games and in wargaming, where cards and markers mix with painted figures on the same table.
Below: the three groups the section divides into, and the measurements that decide which sleeves and which rings actually fit.
There are three strands. The first is card games on technical themes, typically quartets where vehicle figures are compared. The second is protection and organisation — sleeves in several sizes and boxes for decks. The third is tokens, markers and their holders, used in games played with figures on a table.
For a modeller who drifts into wargaming, this is usually the first purchase outside paint and kits, because without measuring and status marking a game dissolves into argument.
Quartets work as a simple game and as a reference at the same time, since each card carries figures for the machine. For children they are often a first encounter with the vehicle types they will later meet as models, in much the same way as colouring books work. An introductory wargame set brings rules and cards in a scope that can be played straight out of the box.
Sleeves are chosen by card size, not by game. The usual formats are a standard card of about 64 × 89 mm and smaller sizes around 41 × 64 and 44 × 68 mm. Measure first: a sleeve a millimetre under will crease the card, and one too large lets it slide inside the stack.
Playing with figures means marking status on the table: an objective taken, a skill, a wound. Acrylic and resin tokens, stickers and rings that slip over a base all do this. Holders keep them together so you are not hunting in a box. Colour-coding the meanings pays off, especially across several game systems. A wider choice sits in wargaming accessories.
Check card and base dimensions before ordering, because in this category a millimetre decides the outcome and appearance does not. More unconventional items are in other modelling products.
