David, I look forward to the release! I think it will be a whole different feel of naval warfare. Not quite Renaissance, not quite Galley.

If you meant mine, they are in the queue....

Do you have any of the large Junks? I have collected a bunch and at some stage I am hoping David will publish his Junk/Chinese naval rules.

collected them until the local bookstore/gaming supply went under, would love to nab some of the later issuses.

Like I said I just picked up the whole thing on Saturday and then had a busy weekend, so I haven't even gotten to fully appreciate what's in the starter set, but I'm gonna find a way to use them, even if I have 100 merchants and only 6 warships!!! lol.

I have used these for merchants. I would run a column along the diagonal of the table with SoG ships as escorts and interceptors. I assigned various levels of hit and sinking-victory points based on ship size. For an interceptor to hit, the appropriate ruler length had to touch the ships since they don't have bases. For each ship that successfully left the table at the far end, the escort team received victory points based on size of ship.

These can make for good obstacles in port scenarios, etc.

Me too! I have a large stash of them as well, they got me into this game mess to begin with and were the inspiration for my large carriers in wings of glory . . .

Where are those discussions and what were the results? It would be nice to have those ships come out of mothballs.

I have more. I am just putting together the ones I am willing to part with.
