Victory & Constitution reverse ship cards?

[Diamondback]

Victory and Constitution will be available through normal retail.

Oh, for the reverse sides, some food for thought... the various weapons loads of both ships that I've found so far.

Victory
1765: 30x42#, 28x24#, 30x12#, 12x6#
1778: 30x32#, 28x24#, 30x12#, 12x6#
1779: 30x42#, 28x24#, 30x12#, 12x6#, 8x12#crde
1780: 30x42#, 28x24#, 30x12#, 12x6#
1781: 30x42#, 28x24#, 30x12#, 12x6#, 2x32#crde, 2x24#crde, 6x18#crde
1783: 30x42#, 28x24#, 42x12#, 2x32#crde, 2x24#crde, 6x18#crde
1793: 30x42#, 28x24#, 42x12#, 2x32#crde
1803: 30x32#, 28x24#, 44x12#, 2x32#crde
1805: 30x32#, 28x24#, 44x12#, 2x68#crde
1807: 28x32#, 28x18#, 30x12#, 12x6# (Lyon & Winfield, The Sail & Steam Navy List)

Constitution
Des: 30x24#, 22x12# (Silverstone, The Sailing Navy 1775-1854)
1798: 30x24#, 16x18#, 14x12#
1804: 30x24#, 14x12#, 8x32#crde (Silverstone, The Sailing Navy 1775-1854)
1812-08: 30x24#, 32x32#crde, 1x18# (chaser?)
1812-12: 30x24#, 16x32#crde
1814: 30x24#, 1x24# chaser, 20x32#crde (Silverstone, The Sailing Navy 1775-1854)
1815-12: 30x24#, 2x24# stern-chaser, 20x32#crde

Which means Victory could have as many as five different double-sided Ship's Logs, and Constitution three plus a single.

It does make you wonder about what, if anything, Ares will do about sister ships. Will they produce just card sets with new names for the sculpts? Highly unlikely in my opinion. Repackage the sculpt with a new name? Possible. Or just leave it up to owners to make their own alternate name cards.


I'm not that knowledgeable on Victory, but Constitution should have slightly different color schemes for the different periods the weapon loads will represent. If one side of the card is for the early Constitution, the model should have a buff stripe around the gun ports. For the later War of 1812 model, a white stripe.
