1 Weapons Codex for Heroes All (and Fight Your Own Battles) You will find here a list of infantry weapons, artillery, AA guns and armoured vehicles used by British and Commonwealth forces, Germans, French, Italians and Americans. There is also a table showing the values used in the game for generic aircraft types. The list covers most of the major weapons seen throughout the war and each line is then duplicated in the form of a CODEX card which you will find as another FREE download. The cards, when printed out full size, will fit into 66mm x 91mm plastic sleeves which are the standard size for Dungeons & Dragons, Magic The gathering and other major card-based games. These sleeves are available at your local gaming store or through on-line shops. There are also, on the penultimate page, a number of notes to help you to add your own vehicles - details of how the value of the vehicles is reached and how the "number of rounds" figure is calculated. The CODEX does not cover all of the combatant countries of WW2 but it is hoped that this will be rectified in the future with further CODEX pages will be released through the website at Please note that whilst much research has gone into this list, sources and opinions vary, particularly when it comes to the power of AT weapons. The values and classifications given here are representative for this game. If you wish to change any values based on information in your possession, please feel free to do so but do let us know via the website if you believe that the changes should be incorporated into the game. We are always willing to listen to your opinions. Happy wargaming!!
