"Any more War at Sea ships being released?" Topic

Does anyone know if there are going to be any more WaS ships released and if so, any idea what they might be?

This is the tentative list published in the Avalon Hill axis & allies forum:

Thanks for the info. I'm tempted to buy ships and use Victory at Sea rules; it seems a number of people do. My main interest is in the PTO, so I will probably just buy what I need off ebay. Thanks again.

i guess this is just a sample from the list as they are supposed to be doing another 64 ships and aircraft ??

july is supposed to be the release date , and europe is supposed to get the booster sets again in june ..

Yes, It is just a list of the units "some" information has been "relased". The complete list is a mistery and this list is not "official". Just what fans in the forum have put together.

79thPA.- I also use this miniatures for Victory at Sea, and Ebay is a good place to find/buy the ones you need.

Thanks for the info mex;

We are using these ships with the Victory at Sea rules and are enjoying the combination.

At this time we are doing a lot of proxy ships and aircraft, so the more ships they release the happier I'll be.

I have a number of 1/2400 scale ships, but I am finding that I like the larger scale here.
