CWF Game Cast

This is the complete Task Force Picture Gallery. It shows all cards personally scanned in by me at 600dpi per card.

I hope you enjoy the card gallery. It will be supplemented with a picture gallery of all the models as soon as possible.

We will soon have scans of the cards’ backs and make them available to everyone. You can enlarge any of the pictures simply by clicking on them. This will take you to a larger version where you can see all the text on the Special Abilities.

Before you click READ MORE please note that the gallery has 60 high resolution pictures. That will be resource heavy and if you use dial-up it will take a very long time to load. Dial-up users are better off going to Task Force Gallery Folders and peruse the folders by nation.

If you wish to download the complete gallery you can find the 20.2mb zipped file at Task Force Stat Card Gallery Zip (right click, save target as).

This is the first part of our Task Force picture gallery series featuring card scans War at Sea and we’re starting with two great American ships.  We begin with the USS California and USS Missouri

The “Mighty Mo” as the Missouri was called had a brilliant career during WWII and beyond (including the Gulf War).  It holds several distinctions being the final battleship produced by the United States, serving as Admiral Bill Halsey’s flagship in the final months of the war, and being the location where Japan signed its official surrender.

You can click the stat cards to open a larger version.

The Mighty Mo was awarded 11 battle stars tying it with sister ship USS Iowa.  The Missouri had a crew of 2,700 officers and men who expertly staffed her.  Her armament made her a feared opponent and consisted of:

9 x 16 in (406 mm) 50 cal. Mark 7 guns

20 × 5 in (127 mm) 38 cal. Mark 12 guns

80 x 40 mm 56 cal. anti-aircraft guns

49 x 20 mm 70 cal. anti-aircraft guns

She is now a museum ship.

The USS California was a member of the Tennessee class of battleships being the final one commissioned in 1921.  It was refitted for World War II and played major roles in the Invasion of the Phillippines, most notably at the Battle of Leyte Gulf, and the action at Okinawa.  She served as the flagship of the Pacific Fleet until 1941.

During the attack at Pearl Harbor she suffered major damage and settled into the mud.  Over 150 of her crew were killed or wounded in the attack including Medal of Honor recipient Petty Officer 1st Class Robert R. Scott.  Scott later, in 1943, had a class of destroyers named for him.

The California was decommissioned in 1947 and ended her life sold for scrap in 1959.

All stat cards are high resolution scans made by me.  Please click the pictures for a larger version.
