Cardboard mooks.

Whenever mooks are involved, it's a pretty safe bet that there will be a lot of running around, explosions and stuff getting broken. With all of that, it's pretty easy to get confused as to who is where. It's therefore a good idea to use figures to keep track of everyone. Unfortunately, not everyone has masses of metal figures.

Still, worry not! Help is at hand! Yes - it's the cardboard mooks!

Here's how to use the cardboard mooks.

First follow the links to Mooks 1, Mooks 2 or Dead Mooks.

The links will bring up a .gif of the cardboard mooks in a new window. You can save the .gif files to your hard disk by click-and-holding (Mac) or right-clicking (PC) on the .gif to bring up the save dialog box. The figures are black and white, so that people with laser printers can still use them, and relatively Lo-rez, so they don't take too long to download. If enough people whine, I might make colour ones.

Second, print the mooks out either on light card or on paper (which can then be glued to loose card). NOTE! make sure to choose "fit to one page" when printing. On some printers/systems the sheets can extend out over several sheets, which is no good at all. If your printer can't hack this, you may need to open the file in a graphics application and resize it to one page.   Third, cut them out (along the solid lines), crease them along the dotted lines and fold them up as in the illustration. As they are folded up, insert a small coin ( a penny, one cent piece, 50 øre, whatever) into the bottom section, with a spot of glue on it, then fold and glue the back of the figure sections together. (The dead mooks are a little simpler to assemble, but I figure you can sort that out yourself).

And voila! 28 cardboard mooks to use and enjoy!
