    I think Cow ship was mentioned once Chris. At least I think that is what was said.

    Wouldn't they be steam(ing) ships?

    Nice looking models. OK fr playing out of the box, plenty of scope for detailing for those that are that way inclined

    Great picture!
    Yes, a crossover will have to be studied.
    In the meantime about the colors, jokes apart, here a pre-production scheme from our illustrator.

    And also, if they do bring out seascape playing mats would they be compatible with the Wings of Glory mats.

    Does anyone know what and where the finest thread available is? For rigging naturally.

    I was looking at the site today and saw the release date for Sails in Summer 2012. I think that passed by many months. Looks like the release of ships will be worse than the planes. I hope there are some ships out this year.

    Not only am I looking forward to playing for me, but if the ease of learning the game is the same as Wings of Glory, it will be another great way to introduce folks I know to gaming.

    Being an ex-army groundpounder, I'm interested in tactics, be they in the air, naval, and on ground. I'll give the game a go just to see what it is like. So, I'm in.

    If I can afford yet another game, I am in!! With the awesome release schedule of the WGS stuff, I am spending a lot on WGS already, with some really amazing realease yet to come this year yet! P-51s, B-17s, and Corsairs, OH MY!

    Have seen some of the initial pictures and the ships could be very nice indeed. Be very nice to see the finished version (think I will have to negotiate a pocket money increase, lol)
    That's what I was wondering - these little rascals have been sailing round looking for a game for years:

    Getting a bit nervous with the Kickstarter announcement. Shouldn't Ares be past the point of needing seed money for this?

    My thoughts exactly...

    Not really. Everything is ready for production, but with all of the Wings and War or the Ring releases taking priority, cash flow is the issue. The KS project just gets it into production sooner rather then later.

    Sorry, but they are not. Initially they were going to, but production quality at that scale was not what they wanted to bring to the table, so they made the switch to 1/1000.

    Well, there is nothing wrong with the scale of 1/1000 in itself. But when you have many players with current collections of 1/1200 and 1/2400 scale ships. You lose a lot of the interest. I suspect this will be one of the games they release the rules in pdf, because they want you to buy their scale ships. Personally I can barely tolerate the 1/1200 scale as it tends to force me to smaller scenarios, a squadron on each side at the most. Major sea battles are right out. I gave up on the idea of games on the floor after a year or so after Jutland came out. So large scale mini's indicate that this game will not be one of my purchases.
