Thanks, though FFG lists the Mini American as being 41mm x 63mm, but I'm sure you're correct.

I've heard/read nothing but poor reviews of their sleeves, especially regarding how inconsistent the quality and size is within a single pack.

Having been someone who has done their fair share of whining about consistency problems with Mayday sleeves, I'm a little hesitant, but I think my friend has some Magnum Gold sleeves from another game. I might at least see if I can mooch a few of him and see how they work.

I just got my copy home. There are two card sizes:
Small cards are 42mm x 63mm
Large cards are 81mm x 119mm

Thank you for the info. How many cards of each size?

They list a sleeve type called Magnum Gold. It's size is listed as 80mmx120mm. The large cards are 81mmx119mm.

I'd be curious to know how well those fit the large cards.

I just received the Magnum Golds and they don't fit without minor trimming of the cards. It's so minor you can't tell anything was removed. I have a straight-edge rotary trimmer and just a tiny cut on each side and they fit perfectly.

Urgh. I'm not trimming the large cards at all, even if it is minor. Looks like only the small cards will get sleeved for now.

I'm right with you there. Guess I'll be passing on big sleeves. At least they don't get shuffled, so it should be fine. And maybe that will leave a bit more room in the large card slot of the battlefoam trays to store the small cards in sleeved form on top.

Hopefully, someone ordered the Battlefoam kit and will be posting a review soon.

I'm kind of wondering if it's possible to find an area on either tray where the top 8mm or so can be chopped off to make room for the rulebook. Given the 2D nature of cut-foam storage, it seems entirely possible, but until someone measures it out, then it's all guesswork.

My SH rulebook and scenario book sit on top of the bottom tray. I assume I'll be doing something similar with Dreadfleet and its rulebook. It doesn't bother me that the lid will sit higher. As long as everything is safe and secure, I don't care how pretty it is.

For me it's more that just looking pretty, it's an issue of storage space. If I can't stack a box it's a major hassle for me. I live in a one-bedroom inner city apartment. The SH rulebooks don't really cause problems, as they maintain a distributed load. The Dreadfleet rulebook, being only one of them and a lot thicker, is more of an issue. I could store it separately on a bookshelf, but that causes problems of its own.

However, Space Hulk (and soon, once it's painted, Dreadfleet) will be getting their own dedicated space in my one-bed apartment with no other objects next to them or on top of them.

I'm looking out for that too. I'm kind of wondering if it's possible to find an area on either tray where the top 8mm or so can be chopped off to make room for the rulebook. Given the 2D nature of cut-foam storage, it seems entirely possible, but until someone measures it out, then it's all guesswork.

Theoretically, you can take some plasticard and fashion walls that sit inside the lower box, held in place by the battlefoam. You make this the height of the battlefoam plus rule book.

The box lid will now sit on top of this inner rather than the lower box, allowing complete and stable storage.
