How to create a Card

• Create a table
• Create a card instance with WL.NoParameterCardInstance.Create (CardID) , then add it into the new table. Your element in that table is your cardInstanceID
• Give the card to the player you want to have this card used on with addNewOrder(WL.GameOrderReceiveCard.Create( playerID PlayerID, cardInstanceID CardInstanceID))
• Play the card with the appropriate subclass of GameOrderPlayCard function

Example:

local cardinstance = {} -- step 1
table.insert (cardinstance  ,  WL.NoParameterCardInstance.Create(WL.CardID.Airlift)) -- step 2
addNewOrder(WL.GameOrderReceiveCard.Create(PlayerID, cardinstance)) -- step 3
addNewOrder(WL.GameOrderPlayCardAirlift.Create(cardinstance[1].ID, Player.ID, TerritoryID  TerritoryID' , TerritoryID  TerritoryID' , Armies Armies)) -- step 4
