I have to say that Warlord has done a good job of packaging - giving you everything you need to build and play in the box. Jury is out on the paper sails though, I mean they could have done plastic. Now the named ships are resin hull with metal masts (Constitution, Victory). Also I watched the video interview of the rules author and one thing he said put me off a bit. While he would have liked more detailed sailing rules, Warlord wanted a basic fast play system - like most of their games frankly. Not sure I need more ships at another scale but what I am looking for is something to cover the smaller craft - schooners, brigs, lake battles etc. SoG frankly can't do that. Now if I hadn't already invested in Oak & Iron....
