Quick Reference Cards for PC?

[Ricky B]

I think someone in the past put together a printable PDT for the standard PDT for each game. But that was years ago and each update can change the PDT - since it is a manual process, the person who did it probably didn't bother changing it again. Anyway, to the question of making the games more accessible, from us as users, I think many of us have provided tools to help where we see a need. To me, there is no need to print the PDT - or at least the vast bulk of it. I prefer to let the game run itself, and most of the PDT is information used to run it behind the scenes, not something useful to a player - I am talking about the movement costs. I couldn't, and wouldn't, use those to calculate a move, I just like to see how far I can move, sometimes keeping movement left to fire once, and the in game tools allow me to do that.

Items I do like to check in the PDT are: stacking limits, especially for road movement, loss recovery rates, and day/night/dawn/dusk turn settings. The other 1500 numbers, or whatever, are just numbers to me.

But back to making it accessible, and per your original question - yes someone created some kind of sheet, that person didn't maintain the sheets for each game. What do you think would be a usable summary of these numbers? What I see as best, due to things changing, would be a summary list of important numbers and where to find them in the in game PDT display - what do you think of that idea?

Thoughts?
