SPECIA L EVENTS DECK

Make up the Special Event Deck by using the nine Core Rules Cards (pages 166 and 167) plus the three additional cards that apply only
to each specific theatre/conflict (see the note at the bottom of each card), but feel free to mix and match where appropriate, like we have
done with Lusitania.
