How many SGN's do you own

[Gunner]

0
1-10
11-25
26-50
51-100
over 100

[Arakus]

The exact number, hmm? :question:

Lets see:

Kickstarter special ships all of them 2 times = 8
The 4 starter set ships, 2 times = 8
All the others 20, plus 6 doubles = 26

So all ships count together i own 42 of them atm.

My old problem, when i start collecting something i do it extensive. :wink:
But its not bad as i don't own more ships atm as i am years old! :happy:

[Cmmdre]

Somewhere between alot and I forget. Too many according to my wife and she hasn't seen the entire fleet at full sail yet.

[Gunner]

My problem exactly. Counting my Commodore and captain KS, I'll just say I hit the over 100 button.

Thank you Paul and Ed. Now I don't feel quite as guilty. :happy:

[Diamondback]

2 Ea KS Excl = 8
2 Ea Starter = 8 -> 16
2 Ea Wave 1A = 16 -> 32
1 Ea Constitution and Victory on-order = 0 ->32/34
1 Ea Wave 2 frigates, 1 Ea Wave 2 sloops, plus second Thorn = 7 -> 39/58

Plus a few more pending... I'm not gonna vote until my "Finish Wave 2" orders, Constitution and Victory are safely logged into my spreadsheet and safely tucked in in Remote Storage.

[fredmiracle]

For one reason and another I ended up with a lot more wave 2 than originally intended. Counting the KS V+C it should be 52

[Uthoroc]

Thanks everyone for making me feel positively thrifty. With a Captain KS and no additional ships yet, I'm at a modest 16 ships. :D

[7eat51]

I went in at the Commodore level for the KS, and have been purchasing more Wave 1 and Wave 2 since then. The main reason, though, for the growing collection is that I am running games at cons, and am currently establishing a WoG/SoG community in central Illinois. A week or so ago, we had our inaugural game at our FLGS, and I plan on running at least two events there each month. Did I mention I also like minis?

[Berthier]

Paul we're ship mates indeed :happy: I've got two of everything...but I'm getting treatment and if I take my tablets regularly...oh what the heck keep collecting!

[Diamondback]

Update: Second copies of Hebe frigates and remaining two Swan ship-sloops on the way... still holding off on the First Rates, and I wish some jokers would cool it on pillaging 12-7 so I can get my order for the WGF Ser 2 reprints in. :(

12-7 is the best. Bill was one of the few that shipped replacements for broken masts without asking you to return them. I think some buyers? took advantage of his good nature.

[Comte de Brueys]

14 ships. :minis:

[Coog]

Only 8 so far. Held off on wave 2 after the breakage problems came to light. I'll probably get some Hebes and sloops anyway but don't have any interest in anything bigger than a 74. I would like to see what wave 3 will be like and the direction Ares is going with its ships.

[stuh42asl]

I have enough ships to do Battle of Trafalgar..................................... problem is 1) Space 2) Players 3) Wife .................... I hate it when real life kicks you in the pants while you wanna have fun :)

[Iron Outlaw]

I have 15 and am making a carry case to carry 20 and all the counters in separate containers.

However, I cannot go overboard as I also have to look after my 1/100 Scale 2nd SS Panzer Korps, (1st, 2nd and 3rd SS PzGdr Divisions), and elements of the Soviet 5th Guards Tank Army and 52 Guards Rifle Division, all at 1 stand/vehicle per company, (plus HQ's), for Panzer Korps Rules, my 1/16 scale tanks. I am a former tank troop sergeant after all!

Plus 3 x 1/72 U-boats and the rest of my modern sub collection in 1/350.

Yes, I know I have a problem! Hehehehe!

[Iron Outlaw]

PS I don't have a wife to worry about.

[Nightbomber]

10 ships here. Two starter sets plus Hermione and Cleopatra. Enough now for a casual sea wargaming with friends:)

[Uthoroc]

Thanks everyone for making me feel positively thrifty. With a Captain KS and no additional ships yet, I'm at a modest 16 ships. :D

After GenCon this is up to 22. :P

[Hobbes]

I have 9 at the moment, 4 Starter, 4 Kickstarter Exclusives and Embusade. I also waited for Ares to fix the mast thing and now I have to recover from the dip into my purse due to me moving with the whole family.

I intend to get some Hebes and sloops and one 1st rate from France and Britain.

[Jack Aubrey]

I have one of all...plus Constitution and Victory in future...:beer:

[Diamondback]

Poll needs another option: "Not Enough." LOL

[Popsical]

Just the 4 starter set beauties so far. Im literally gagging to get hold of Victory.
I doubt i will own more than 20. Two fleets of 8 or 3 of 7 will be my limit i think.
Then again... my collecting impulse may over rule that. :happy:

[Naharaht]

I think that I have 35 ships but I do not have enough control mats to operate them all at the same time. :minis:

[Diamondback]

First batch of First Rates on the way... crossing my fingers and hoping they all come in intact.

[Nightmoss]

First batch of First Rates on the way... crossing my fingers and hoping they all come in intact.

Grats! So, does that means the reprinted Wave 2 ships have arrived at the warehouse? That would be cool.

Ares was going to post information on Facebook by the end of the week for the Wave 2 reprints AND news on the Victory and Constitution pre-production samples. Nothing has shown up on FB yet?

[Diamondback]

No, Jim, it means I'm rolling the dice and taking my chances, with my trusty tube of superglue standing by. I'll wait on the re-run for the second set...

[Nightmoss]

It might be worth noting that at the big Record Breaker event at Gen Con there were 53 1st rates on that long table. I didn't hear one report of a broken mast or masts, either in their boxes or while playing the game.

[Arakus]

My collection is now also a good step over 50, maybe i love them too much? :question:

[Diamondback]

Naaaah... too much is when you drive your SO to say "One more and I'm leaving you" and you post about it here with "I'm sure gonna miss her..."

LOL

[Пилот]

Starter set only - four ships.

[Swamprat33]

I am only collecting a British fleet as several mates have French.

So sar i have 8 ships.
1 x 1st rate
3 x 3rd rates
4 x 5th rates
i want to get a couple of sloops and a Hebe Frigate to use as a Leda class.

i hope Ares hurry up and announce a 50 gun 4th and something to use as a post ship.

Cheers
Tim

[Diamondback]

Just in case I didn't mention this elsewhere, 4 out of 6 of my First Rates came in with Pre-Modeled Mast Damage--all three Oceans and SGN108B. Reported Saturday afternoon, Becki at Cool Stuff Inc. contacted me Sunday AM to tell me they'd get me a return shipping label and that while my request for replacement from 2nd Run would mean a wait before sending, they were happy to honor the request.

So that moves four First Rates from the "own" column to the same "paid for and owed" as Victory and Constitution. Score is 46/58.

[Diamondback]

Update with wreck replacements, 49/58.

[7eat51]

I'm starting to go in the opposite direction and trimming down my WoG and SoG collections. As of late, I have been trading wargames on BGG as well.

[TexaS]

Worrying to hear...

I hope you don't loose too many ships. Then one day, you could end up as Sweden, without any military, when it's time to play.

What will you do when there's a solo scenario where you should use 30 ships?

[7eat51]

I will always maintain a sufficient fleet and wing. I have a lot of extras, especially with WoG. They sit on the shelf collecting dust.

If someone writes a solo scenario with 30 ships for our current solo campaign, I imagine there would be an immediate mutiny. :wink:

Hmmm... That solo scenario I was thinking of earlier, involving the commodore character... I might just have to rethink that one... :shock::minis::beer:

[Herkybird]

I have 8 French, 5 British, and 2 Spaniards!

Could do with a lot more 74's though to balance my fleets! :takecover:

[John Paul]

Well, in the year plus since I started I've collected 72 ships total on hand, with another 17 on order awaiting delivery!

2 Starter sets
3 Each KS Ships
3 Each Wave 1 Plus 2 extras for Repaints as American Ships
2 Each Wave 2
1 Victory (On Order)
3 Constitutions (On Order)
4 Sybille (On Order) Repaints for American Navy
1 Each Wave 2 1st Rates (On Order)
1 Concorde (On Order)

Patiently awaiting Wave 3!!!!! So where are they??????? :pray:

[Gunner]

Patiently awaiting Wave 3!!!!! So where are they??????? :pray:

I'll settle for, what are they.:beer:

[BRIAN DUNBAR]

So what are the Spanish ships considered wave 3 or just wave 1.2?

[Gunner]

The two are wave 1 reprints.

[Diamondback]

Ed, officially released data:

SGN109 French 1765 Artesien 64 - 4 French, 1 British, 1 British stretch as similar ex-French Caton 64
SGN110 British Portland 50 - 4 British, 2 French
SGN111 Spanish San Juan Nepomuceno/related 74 - 3 Spanish, 1 Spanish stretch as Bahama, 1 British, 1 British stretch as HMS Bahama
SGN112 Spanish Meregildos 112 - 6 Spanish
These numbers reflect the double-sided cards. Not gonna name names, but SKU's are assigned.

At this point, 101C, 102C, two 111 and three 112 SKU's give an Armada strength of 14.

[Gunner]

Thanks DB, the information is much appreciated. When I visit my daughter who works in Hoquiam, WA and if you're near that, I'll spring for some drinks:drinks:

[Mycenius]

Well FWIW I only purchased the starter set in January. and planned to purchase enough additional ships to have 3 Frigates (1 x 40, 2 x 32), 3 x 3rd Rates (74), and 1 x 1st or 2nd Rate (100-112) each for French and British (so that would have been 14 vessels total, maybe 16 with a sloop each added)... HOWEVER:

I now have 21 vessels, with 5 more on order or in transit (incl. Vic & Con) and hopefully will have a set of the 4 KS ships soon (thanks Eric) which brings me to 30 to date - leaving me only 4 packs short of having 1 example of every model currently available! And I'm now contemplating getting my first duplicates as well! So much for plan 'A' above! Bloody OCD Megalomania kicking in...
:shock: :wink:

[John Paul]

Hot Dog!! :beer: Now, any bets that Wave 3 will have Light/Medium Blue packaging? :question:

[Gunner]

My money is on the longshot, yellow.:beer: But if they go like WOG, you're probably right.

[Nightmoss]

Navy blue of course! :wink:

[TexaS]

Oh, Ed, then I can be an Admiral of the Yellow! :happy:

[7eat51]

and hopefully will have a set of the 4 KS ships soon (thanks Eric)

Yep. Heading to the P.O. on Monday for shipping quote, or if you like, to post.

[Old Salt]

Don't play much so don't need many ships. Don't ask about WOW

[Gunner]

Oh, Ed, then I can be an Admiral of the Yellow! :happy:

Not a post to be proud of. But if you don't mind sneers and half pay, It's yours.:beer:

[TexaS]

I know, but it's a catch 22 thing. An admiral without ships, but if I have the ships...

As for numbers; Well... I started out with just two from the Kickstarter, the two British, then I added a few 74s as I really love the 74s. Now I have about ten 74s each for British and French and a handful of frigates for each. Both sides have three first rates, too, now apparently a few more on the way. Then there's Victory...

I still need a few more ships... Only one unrated simply will not do. Thinking of building a civilian vessel makes me looking at getting a few more frigates. I'm thinking if I cut off a few guns and cover up the gun ports, perhaps raise the ship to make it look bigger...

[Kentop]

I've got 15 SGN ships and the Niagara. Waiting for Constitution and Victory like everyone else. I bought a carrying case for the ships and now I have to go buy another. Nature abhors a vacuum, and the empty slots in my next case are already begging to be filled.

[Gunner]

Nature abhors a vacuum, and the empty slots in my next case are already begging to be filled.

An affliction suffered by most of us.:beer:

[HMS Lydia]

I have pretty close to 100. I have 2 of each model + 2 of each of the KS exclusives. I figured about 76 + 20 additional extras. When I receive my Constitution and Victory order, that should put me at over 100.

12 First rates (6 French, 6 British)
32 Commodore KS
12 4 French Hebes, 2 British Hebes, 2 each French, British, American Sloops
8 Wave 2 reprint (Spanish and British)

That's 64 well maybe I don't have as many as I thought, but I have purchased extra 3rd rates for all countries, and extras of all classes of each ship.

[csadn]

Oh, Ed, then I can be an Admiral of the Yellow! :happy:

Not to be confused with an Admiral of the Brown [Pants]. >;)

[Iron Outlaw]

Thought you might like to see the fleet, the RN one anyway. The French /Spanish Fleet is in the mill.

Still waiting for Victory and 4 x 2nd Rates to complete the RN Fleet. I know, that's what we all say until, "Got to have one of them!"

As mentioned previously, somewhere, my models are classified under the 3' rule, so don't look too closely! Still some painting to do too!

The sea is dark green panne velvet. For those of my vintage, in the '60's it was called velvetine/velveteen/velveteen or whatever.

Cheers

[Gunner]

Impressive:beer:. Are your bases the clear side of a SOG base, or Litko?

[Mycenius]

Yep. Heading to the P.O. on Monday for shipping quote, or if you like, to post.

PM Sent! :wink:

[Iron Outlaw]

They are the original bases from the models. See this post; http://sailsofglory.org/showthread.php?2975-Ship-Base-Inserts&goto=newpost

[TexaS]

It really does make a difference with painting the ships!

[Nightmoss]

That's quite the fleet! Well done. How are you storing them between battles? I have sufficient ships, but they're all in the original boxes except for the repainted/rigged ships. I've held back on going into a massive fleet conversion due to storage issues and space. Best leaving them safely in their boxes until I come up with a better system.

[Herkybird]

I agree! - impressive fleet! - The cloth looks like it would be good for X-Wing too!!

I carry my ships in a box, carefully, as the rigging catches and detatches in the standard bulky packing!

[Mycenius]

If you did new slim bases rather than using the existing transparent plastic plate you could use magnetic material and store the vessels upright in a deep container (with metal or self-adhesive steel liner) or a large cake tin or similar... But it would mean conventional opaque basing that needs texturing & painting...

[Herkybird]

Thanks,

I have not had any problems...so far...with carrying my little ships around. I would use foam to separate them if it became an issue, I think. :minis:

[Amara]

Current total: 63. Includes both ships in hand and ships on the way. I've listed both names for models where I have duplicates; HMS Bellona is the only ship I have three of. Doesn't count my wish list of Wave 3 ships.

Royal Navy: (30)
Sloops: Swan, Fairy, Detroit (3)
Frigates: Terpsichore, Meleager, Sybille, Amelia, Juno, Castor, Cleopatra, Iphigenia, Concorde, Unite, Orpheus (11)
Two-Deckers: Bellona, Goliath, third Slade common 74, Zealous, Defence, Vanguard, Impetueux, Spartiate, Defiance, Billy Ruffian (10)
Three-Deckers: Victory, Royal Sovereign, Brittania, Royal George, Hibernia, Queen Charlotte (6)

France: (25)
Sloop: Alligator (1)
Frigates: Courageuse, Unité, Hermione, L'Inconstante, Carmagnole, Proserpine, Embuscade, Le Succes, La Concorde, Junon (10)
Two-Deckers: Généreux, Aquilon, Fougeux, Redoutable, Berwick, Swiftsure, Commerce de Bordeaux, Duguay-Trouin (8)
Three-Deckers: Montaigne, Commerce de Marseille, Orient, Austerlitz, Impérial, République Française (6)

Spain: (4)
Frigates: Sirena, Ifigenia
Two-Deckers: Argonauta, Heroe

United States: (4)
Privateer: Thorn
Brig: Lawrence, Niagara
Frigate: Constitution

More frigates than I can use in an engagement (but still missing 44 razées/super-frigates and perhaps a post ship), and not nearly enough two-deckers. I'm excited that we're getting a 50 and a 64; an 80 and a 90 would be wonderful at some point.

[Amara]

[John Paul]

I would have bet prize money you would have gone with "Jolly Rodger Black"!! :beer: :Arrrr:

2020+, isn't that when wave 4 will be released?

I think Wave 3 is scheduled for 3rd quarter 2020, which means shipped in 1st quarter 2021 (I think the longshoreman's contract is up about then).:shock:

And a belated Welcome Aboard! Y'all are getting quite the little flotilla built up in the Toronto area... :) (I'm from Seattle, but my gal lives in Toronto, and if I ever get back there to visit her and have the chance to take her out to check out a game it's reassuring to know she'd be in good hands.)

Ok... Now my choice is incorrect. I checked 26-50, but when Constitution and Victory and a few more in the mail arrives I will have more than 50.

13675
Here's 50 ships + a wreck...

...and less than half is painted. I have many hours of work before me. And I'm a slow painter.

[Gunner]

A very impressive picture Jonas. That's the largest collection of out of the box SGN ships belonging to one person that I've seen:beer:

[TexaS]

Higher numbers are mentioned in the thread by several members, but there's a lack of pictures.

I'd like to take better pictures as I love the sight of many ships, but I want them painted before that.

[Bligh]

Well that certainly impresses me Jonas, who despite being a member here since November 2011 only started collecting ships six months ago.
Bligh.

[Herkybird]

Wooo! - Thats a pair of fleets!

I wonder how many people actually bother painting their SGN ships, or attempt to rig them? :minis:

I have over a hundred but, most have never been out of the box. So many to paint & rig:beer::beer::beer:.(some day)

[Devsdoc]

Hi All,
I know they are not SOG ships, but all are painted and rigged. 13 French, 12 British, 13 Russians, 13 Swedes and 6 Merchants= 57 ships

13678

Also 7 Swede and Russian in-shore ships (Not shown) total 64. Would this count?
as you can see all have been played with.
Be safe
Rory

[Iron Outlaw]

Very impressive Jonas and Rory!

[TexaS]

It almost counts as double as you have to assemble and paint from scratch.

That is impressive!

[Mycenius]

:thumbsup:

Thanks Jonas,
I have been following your re-builds with interest. You put in lots of work. Looking good. You have a big fleet/s in your pocket. I can say once you see them being played with on a table you will push your chest out and put your head up with pride. :salute:
Be safe
