Description

The Téméraire Class ships of the line was and remains the most numerous class of capital ships ever built, with 67 built between 1782 and 1824 for the French navy. These third-rate, 74-guns ships had a designed crew of 700. They were armed with 28 36-Pounder guns in the lower deck, 30 18-Pounder guns in the upperdeck, and 16 8-Pounder guns in the quarterdeck and in the forecastle.
The British HMS Impétuex 1796 was the former French ship America 1788. The Royal Navy captured her in 1794 at the Battle of the Glorious First of June. She then served with the British under the name HMS Impétuex until she was broken up in 1813. She became the prototype for the Royal Navy America-class ship of the line.
Designed to be used with the tactical ship-to-ship game system created by Andrea Angiolino and Andrea Mainini, each Sails of Glory Ship Pack is a ready-to-play model, painted and assembled, 100% compatible with any other Sails of Glory game product.
In each pack you will find all you need to play with the ship: a special base with gaming stats, a ship log and a specific deck of maneuver cards.

I've checked Troll & Toad, Cool Stuff Inc and Noble Knight Games in the US and none of them seem to have any SOG items listed yet for pre-order.

Daniel, Bill at 12-7 has confirmed he's going to stock it, but it sounded like he was waiting on SKU's to list things. (And even kicked in for an Admiral package plus other goodies to support the KS.)

NWS online store has SOG up for preorder now.

Prices are $50US for starter, $14US for large ships, $12US for small - so all European KS pledgers who were complaining about the cost of getting your ships to Europe have a look at the price difference between US and AUS- 60% more here when they launch. I'm pleased I pre-ordered on KS

Hmmm... those prices are quite a bit lower than I expected to see here in the US.

... and it appears that they are a bit TOO low:
[From Kickstarter Comments page, Quote from Ares Games]
"We sent out sell sheets to distributors, and the suggested retail prices are exactly what we said - $ 89.90 for the Starter, $ 17.90 / $ 22.90 for the ship packs (+ taxes(,
If there are retailers who, 4 months in advance of release, are selling product at cost (most retailers buy from distributors at discounts around 40-45% off SRP), we will do our best to cut him out of our distribution network, as he damages not just our business, but everybody's business. "

That seems more realistic Scott, perhaps NWS haven't done their homework.
