If there is the same time span as with the first shipment, possibly May? But then production time could be less for just two ships.:question:
The original release date was January, but I think we all know better.
Maybe someone could get an educated guess from Ares.

Who else? July 1985, American Marine unit intervenes against a Soviet incursion into Yugoslavia. In response, the Warsaw Pact mobilizes and launches a full scale invasion of Western Europe on 4 August 1985.
Reference; The Third World War: August 1985 by Sir John Hackett, General, British Army (and another gift from Perth).

Ed can confirm, but I believe he's allowed folks to change their Victory/Constitution dates due to ship production issues and damage to Wave 2? The Wave 2 contest is definitely over and no one was a winner (although Eric was darn close).

I looked at Ares website, and there wasn't any indication of the ships coming in during the summer. I wasn't sure if these being special would not be posted as other releases. The 21st of October would be poetic.

Who here kept saying "this contest is pointless, because there's no way Ares will make any of the proposed dates"?
<- does best Jeremy Clarkson wave
Three contests and I still have all my ships. Even though there was a seven month spread on the picks.
Three contests and I still have all my ships. Even though there was a seven month spread on the picks.
Well, I did try to warn all of you: Gaming companies are infamous for their inability to achieve a given release date -- the product is either done correctly, but late; or on time but riddled with bugs; or, most often, Late and Buggy. Esp. with the Wave 2 clusterf***, there was no way on this Earth Ares was going to release them before year's end.
I guess I can wrap this up with this classic bit of video:
