I have seen several threads on the question of when merchant ships might come out, mostly from a while back. As far as I can tell, Ares has provided no guidance that something like this is in the pipeline? Or did I miss something?
D-back or someone else, I hope you have let Ares know that the Liberty Ships and tramp steamers were among the most coveted, expensive and hard-to-get pieces in A&A naval minis for years. I hope Ares doesn't make the same mistake of neglecting this demand. One doesn't need a lot of *different* models--produce a couple of representative types, and dedicated gamers will buy several of each (maybe you could switch out the flags or something). Economy of scale!
Anyway, I'm sure I'm rehashing old ground. So what are people doing to fill in in the meantime? I know there are 1:1200 metal miniatures available, which is great if you have them; but since I don't, I can't see investing the money, time and effort in them just as gap-filler. Anyone know of any toy boats that might fill the bill in a pinch? Any good/easy/cheap paper models that would work?
Has anyone mocked up stat and maneuver cards for them yet?
