I need some ordering advice for starting off in Aeronef, with an eye to developing balanced fleets for friendly games. I don't have the rulebook yet as my starter hasn't arrived so I have no idea what fleet units cost.

I'm trying to build up a few fleets from scratch without making one too powerful so it won't hammer the others.

I have the British vs German starter en route:
2 British cruisers (Exeter and Rawalpindi)
6 British Escorts (three each Steadfast and Cossack)
2 German cruisers (Koln)
6 German Escorts (three each VA-7 and SA-15)

and am in the middle of ordering a few more units from GreatHallGames to build them up more, depending on their existing stock.

Planned purchases (confirmed instock):

British Carrier pack containing:
1 Albion class Fighter Carrier
18 fixed-wing fighters
2 Arethusa class Destroyers
3 Cossack class Escorts
3 Steadfast class Escorts

German Dig fleet pack:
1 Schleswig-Holstein class Dig Battleship
2 Brandenburg class Dig Destroyers
1 Waldburg class Dig Cruiser
3 Seydlitz class Dig Gunboats
3 GL-37 class Dig Frigates

and, what the heck, thought I'd start the Russian and Japanese as well by ordering:

Russo vs Japanese starter (also confirmed instock):
2 Petrapavlovsk CA
2 Derskyi DD
2 Dobrovolets DD
2 Akashi CL
2 Nagatsaki DD
2 Mikasa Patrol Nef

I'm thinking about adding a couple of blisters of reinforcements to the Russo-Jap starter and was wondering what other Aeronef players might suggest.
So, for 2 blisters each for the Russo and Japanese forces, what would YOU add to them?

Thanks all! This would be a lot easier if I had the rules in front of me but I'm too anxious to start building them up.

The game system is customizable based on size. So buy what you like. Just keep the same amount of CA,CL, DD's You should have good balance.
