Questions on low level cards

[oho_slith]

Perhaps stupid question:
I always only have one card of a type per officer and I can play it only once per Officer, no matter how long a scenario is and it costs nothing to play the card?
Or will I receive a replacement card after a while for that officer?

could you elaborate a bit? or show a screenshot?

My question is, how it is supposed to work.
When I have played a card (for example better attack-values), will I get another attack-card again later for that general?
Will it cost something (prestige for example) when I play it?

yes all cards will be available again next turn.

cost of card is command points. officer has limited supply of these command points.

best wishes,

Hi, you can play the various officer cards whenever they've built up enough command points (the left-most value). Some tasks are much cheaper than others (like recon). Some officers build up command points faster than others (1 or 2 points per turn is typical, so ration your use of the cards accordingly. Only one card per turn can be played in any case, but it is still available for subsequent turns if there are enough points. Some commanders have useful extra cards available to rally troops etc, so it can be worthwhile changing officers but not if they're in the thick of combat as there is a short-term effectiveness penalty - look under the 'officer pool' button for the choices. Hope this answers the question.

thanks, that makes it clear
