This is from Roberto, posted on BGG:
We had quite a slowdown due in changes in the SoG production team, but now things are back to normal. We expect to launch wave 3 in the first semester...
I really like the named captain cards, as opposed to the generic ones (even thought they play the same as the generic capital cards). There is just something more fun about having Nelson's name and...
Thank you!
I'm always interested in the historical knowledge of the anchorage members, but in this case I just need someone to who owns these three models to tell me if they have red ensigns as depicted in the...
So a more specific question--in the stock photos, HMS Bellona, Zealous, and Impetueux all have a red ensign. Is that the case with all the models?
I think I remember reading that one model (British I think) has a different flag than the one depicted in the stock photo. Is that correct? Is there a ship that is different than its picture?
Got this update on boardgamegeek:
"Wave 3 is in pre-production now (all prototyping complete, mold-making in progress).
If all goes well, we might be able to ship it out of factory in Feb/March...
The Atalanta does have a USS prefix; the Thorn doesn't because it is a privateer. Like it or not, Ares has been fairly consistent.
I am wondering if Keith or anyone else has an update on the release date for Wave 2. I checked the Kickstarter comments, and Ares has been responding to questions but hasn't mentioned the release...
I think the rule in general makes sense. Imagine a situation where a ship has no crew damage, but is down to its last box of hull damage. In game terms, such a ship should be a burning, flooded wreck...
I would agree with others who've suggested eliminating the second planned maneuver card. It doesn't feel right, and in my experience it turns SOG into a massive guessing game. It's mildly annoying to...
I don't think it's a conflict--it's just a difference between the basic rules and the standard/advanced rules. Both the standard and advanced rules say "any previous rule that is not explicitly...
Ares posted a link to the text-only version of rules for using these cards. There will be a PDF on their website later.
...
I received mine today.
Yes, that's what I meant to say. Thanks for the correction.

I still haven't received mine, and this morning my tracking information changed to "Incorrect Address - Item forwarded / redirected"...hopefully that means the postal service figured out how to get...
I think it's 12 ships (or 24 if you count the doublesided ship logs) through four minis:
Our selection includes four new triplets of ships, for a total of 12 new models:
•heavier frigates –...
I haven't received my shipment yet, but my understanding was that backers were supposed to get extra ship mats. That was mentioned a few times in comments by Ares on the Kickstarter page, and it says...
August 8
I've received nothing; I have a tracking number but no delivery estimate. With international shipping, customs, etc I don't expect to get mine for at least a week (I would guess 22 January or later).
I don't think that they are exclusive to Kickstarter; my understanding is that they'll be released for retail later, and there will be rules posted online for them. But until then, this is what...
Ares posted the text of the scenario booklet in Kickstarter comments:

I agree that the delivery hasn't been too bad (and I haven't received my pledge yet).
The only element of delivery that has been somewhat annoying for me is Ares promising too much. They've told...
