Hi,
yes. Well, technically there is a lonely one with the free download 1-48TACTIC ACHTUNG PANZER! Quick REFERENCE SHEET in the rules page ( quick link for convenience) it's for the Stuart light tank... but yes, the truth is that I haven't prepared more of them yet... or better to be precise I haven't finished them yet...
The bigger picture is that there is the campaign going on for adding more factions ( link to kickstarter project ) and the plan is that when I'll do the decks for those I'll add some free sample cards for all of those AND a vehicle or two each...
At some point we will also do dedicated decks of vehicle cards as well, but only after the above have all been published and sent!

I thought that I could add, on this topic the subject below. Well, I printed the vehicle Stat cards and realized that the boxes are made exactly for the first edition cards, the ones the minis come with and the packs too. Not the size the first kickstarter cards had. In the rules you're mentioning that the card may be placed in or next to the chosen position, so not a big deal.... I just like and prefer the small card. Even the KS cards I brought them by printing to the small size. I'm finding them more handy, on a table full of terrain objects and other stuff. Have you decided, which size you'll proceed?

yes, we are going to keep both formats, precisely for the reasons you mention. I like the smaller cards too and all miniatures will continue to come with that size. The cards only decks instead will be all standard poker size like the first kickstarter. That is for several reasons, but most importantly because of price (the small cards cost many times more than the standard ones) and also because that being the standard for card games, it allows for lots of ancillary products like plastic sleeves and boxes etc.
Also all printed vehicle and weapon cards in decks will be standard poker size, so much smaller than those printed on the AP rulebook, for the same reasons. We have been play-testing a lot lately with that size and it works just fine, actually it is better! It is enough that a corner of the character card is under the vehicle card, or even just placed around it, to make it plenty obvious which position it is using, and it allows to continue to see the Character values which is quite handy to decide if/when to bail out, swap places, etc. Small vehicles like jeeps can fit on a single card and most tanks and AFVs still needs only two. That allow us to cut the price tenfold compared with doing large custom size ones, and if one really wants big ones can print them larger and glue them on some card board easily enough... we will have pdf versions for it with two versions, black and white and color, in two sizes (standard poker and A5 Giant-Size!).
Conversely, weapon cards issued with miniatures, like the recently released MG42 pack, will be small size like miniature Character cards.

Would you upload any videos playtesting the Achtung Panzer rules? I look forward to watch.
