That's not 1958 your talking about, is it?

AlyssaFaden
01-21-2014, 19:58
I'd love to 'play,' but I have no idea what specifically is being referred to here. Are we talking about an already existing line of ships that is already in production, or something that will be funded through a second kickstarter?

Alyssa, they are referring to the next set of SOG releases that are non KS and have the design complete. Ares says they will be produced in March in China.

the "competition" is to pick the date of the ships actual release, some tongue in cheek here due to the interminable delays to the first set of releases. Ares assures that as the design work is complete there shouldn't be the same delays. The more pessimistic here (no names) still think the container ship with the models might sink. There will be an earthquake/flood destroying the factory, pirates out of the Aleutians will seize the shipment for ransom and various other acts of god will somehow interfere:happy:

Gunner
01-21-2014, 20:34
Alisa, what Dan said. All you have to do is guess a date that you think the wave 2 shipment will arrive at the Anchorage, and post it on this thread.

AlyssaFaden
01-21-2014, 20:46
Got it, got it. I did not know Wave 2 was non-kickstarter (I was already planning on dropping some funds into that!) but if they're going straight into production on this ...

MY PICK: August 18th (aiming for July 4th, but delayed, then delayed again in customs)

Edit: changed 17th to 18th, 'cos apparently 17th is a Sunday ... and mailmen aren't robots yet, or some such nonsense.

Yep, this time the delay is actually a good thing. I just dropped a large order for the new WGF Series 7 minis and having to get Wave 2 now would have been painful. With Ares offering Wave 2 through the original KS is going to make it hard to know how many to stock though :( I think I might throw in some free Cloud Smoke Markers with pre-orders for this one.

Yes, as part of the attempt to make the delay of the Victory and Connie right, they are offering Wave 2 ships via the KS. Only to people that backed the KS though.

That is that one can substitute Wave 2 ships for the Constitution and Victory, if those two were ordered via the KS, correct?

You can either have the monies you paid toward Vic and Con applied to Wave 2, or you can order Wave 2 outright.

I'm a teetotaler. That was some empty bottle given to me as a prop. The PPSH-41 had a blank adapter and an empty drum. Notice the German tunic has a happy face party armband. It's a pink sombrero. Come on, guys. You guys need to loosen up. Have a sense of humor. I didn't think to include the shoulder parrot for a pirate reference, but I thought I did a good job of including Bandidos, Naughtzis and commies all in one.

Well, by the end of this weekend one third of us will be out of the running on the contest. Without any news from Ares I can only surmise that the shipment is still sitting in US Customs. I want the Orient and the Victory as much as the brass ratlines, but it's pretty much wait and wonder for the time being.

Watching these contests is a bit like watching old NASCAR races -- in the days when margins-of-victory were normally calculated in Laps rather than Seconds, and attrition rates typically covered 2/3 of the field.

Indeed so. In this case, however, lets hope Wargamer isn't going to win with his November 26th guess?!? :shock:

Actually, I was sort-of hoping to hear Bob Barker say "You have all overbid -- erase the bids, please".... >;)

Well I'm sorry to say, the Royal Hajj said that he received WAVE 2 today, the 20th.

I feel bad about no winner yet so visit the "New pick a date" thread and you will have until Thursday the 22nd to change your date for the Victory/Constitution even if your date has passed.

Let's hope that he can burn his bridge behind him.

Given my seamanship skills, this might be the closest I will ever come to winning in this game. :wink:

With this wave, it seems like this was a bridge over troubled waters.
